Automotive, 5.5V-to-20V VIN, 1.5W regulated 5kVRMS isolated DC/DC module with integrated transformer UCC34141-Q1 is an automotive qualified , reinforced isolation, high working voltage, DC/DC power module designed to provide power to SiC and IGBT ...
Texas Instruments (TI) unveiled new isolated power modules, helping enable increased power density, efficiency and safety in applications ranging from data centers to electric vehicles (EVs). The UCC34141-Q1 and UCC33420 isolated power modules ...
If your favorite tool is a hammer, every problem will look like a nail. Abraham Maslow Given how often I tinker with the LM555 and LMC555 analog timers, Maslow might have written that famous aphorism specifically for me. And it. Well, here I go ...
In process industries, field contacts from pressure, temperature, flow switches, limit switches, push buttons, etc., are read by programmable logic controllers and/or distributed control systems (PLC/DCS) through digital input modules. They are ...
For decades, I’ve had a fascination with voltage-to-frequency converters and the 555 analog timer chip, and therefore a double obsession with VFCs based on the 555. In fact, my first Design Ideas (DI) submission (in 1974) was for a 555 VFC. ...
The pages of Design Ideas (DIs) have recently been awash in a veritable cascade of designs for variable frequency oscillators with frequency ranges tunable over multiple decades: Self-oscillating sawtooth generator spans 5 decades of frequencies ( ...
After more than fifty years of continuous production in bipolar and fully half that in CMOS, there’s really neither room nor reason to question the value and versatility of the venerable 555 analog timer. But if it has any significant ...
It is well known that a 555 timer in astable mode can be frequency modulated by applying a control voltage (CV) to pin 5. The schematic on the top of Figure 1 shows this classic 555 VCO. Modulating pin 5 has some severe drawbacks: The control ...
Modern high-speed RS-485 data links are pushing the envelope to the absolute breaking point with regards to data rate versus cable length. Applications include position encoders, traffic monitoring, seismic networks, and GPS transceivers. Data ...
The circuit uses a very inexpensive C-MOS IC that is connected to a small photodiode. Using a unique inductive feedback network, the circuit provides high sensitivity under high ambient light conditions. It is a great circuit when you want to ...
