The HDC302x-Q1 is an integrated capacitive based relative humidity (RH) and temperature sensor. It provides high accuracy measurements over a wide supply range (1.62 V – 5.5 V), along with ultra-low power consumption in a compact 2.5-mm × 2.5-mm package. Both the temperature and humidity sensors are 100% tested and trimmed on a production setup that is NIST traceable and verified with equipment that is calibrated to ISO/IEC 17025 stan...

The LMX2492/92-Q1 is a low noise 14 GHz wideband delta-sigma fractional N PLL with ramp and chirp generation. It consists of a phase frequency detector, programmable charge pump, and high frequency input for the external VCO. The LMX2492/92-Q1 supports a broad and flexible class of ramping capabilities, including FSK, PSK, and configurable piecewise linear FM modulation profiles of up to 8 segments. It supports fine PLL resolution and fast ramp w...

This reference design provides a design template for implementing a three-level, three-phase, silicon carbide/gallium nitride (SiC/GaN) based ANPC inverter power stage. The use of fast-switching power devices makes it possible to switch at a higher frequency of 100 kHz, reducing the size of magnetics for the filter and increasing the power density of the power stage. The multilevel topology allows the use of 600-V rated power devices at higher DC...

The TL431 and TL432 devices are three-terminal adjustable shunt regulators, with specified thermal stability over applicable automotive, commercial, and military temperature ranges. The output voltage can be set to any value between Vref (approximately 2.5 V) and 36 V, with two external resistors. These devices have a typical output impedance of 0.2 Ω. Active output circuitry provides a very sharp turn-on characteristic, making these device...

This paper examines the benefits of using an integrated powertrain solution to speed adoption of electric vehicles through power electronics. Implementation of wide band-gap semiconductor switches and isolated gate drivers are highlighted to illustrate the value of powertrain integration.

This reference design provides a compact system design capable of supporting motor acceleration and deceleration up to ±200 kRPM/s, which is a key requirement in many respirator applications. The design supports a number of offboard C2000 controllers including the TMS320F28027F, enabling a low-cost, sensor-less field oriented control (FOC). In addition, the design supports a wide input voltage range ...

The UCC25800-Q1 open-loop LLC transformer driver integrates the switching power stage, the control, and the protection circuits to simplify isolated bias supply designs. The LLC topology allows the design to utilize a transformer with higher leakage inductance, but much smaller parasitic primary-to-secondary capacitance.

Thomas Neu, System Engineer for High-Speed Data Converters, Texas Instruments (TI), discusses the present day issue of elaborate filtering that can be required for industrial data-acquisition on the analogue front end (AFE) in front of the analogue-to-digital converters (ADCs).

On the 1st September Electronic Specifier will host its Webinar Summit, a one-day event packed with discussions around the latest industry trends in electronics, and the products and technologies that are shaping sectors from automotive to wireless.

LED-based lighting is increasingly popular in automotive applications like headlights and rear lights. These applications use an LED driver circuit, with the goal to maintain constant current. LEDs in modern automotive rear lights generally require current below 150mA which, given electromagnetic interference (EMI) and cost considerations, has made a linear LED driver a more appealing solution than a switching regulator. Michael Helmlinger, Syste...
