For efficiencies’ sake – how to integrate bidirectional power flow into your UPS design (part 2)
In part 1 of this series , I discussed how to integrate bidirectional power flow into your uninterruptible power supply (UPS) designs. In this second installment, I will look more closely at the topology used in the 2kW, 48V to 400V, >93% Efficiency, Isolated Bidirectional DC/DC Converter Reference Design for UPS and battery backup applications....

mmWave sensors make cities smarter
According to a paper published by the United Nations, the world’s population is projected to grow to reach 9.1 billion people in 2050 –2 billion more people than there are today. The current migration of the world’s population to urban centers will continue at an accelerated pace. In fact, projections estimate that 70 percent of the...

Simplify your power storage design with these Fly-Buck™ power tips
Traditionally, designers have used flyback converters and push-pull drivers with transformers for generating an isolated power supply. The Fly-Buck™ converter (or isolated buck converter) has gained popularity as a low-power isolated bias solution because of its simplicity, ease of implementation and low bill of materials (BOM) cost for uninterruptable...

Reducing factory downtime with predictive maintenance for industrial Ethernet
Factory production lines that go down unexpectedly due to automation technology failures are expensive for factory owners. Production stops, the assembly line workers are idle and the service engineers need to find the root cause as quickly as possible. Many failures in automation technology are caused by worn-out industrial communication Ethernet...

Sync your multichannel data acquisition systems up to 15GHz
Most advanced systems like digital oscilloscopes (DSOs), phased-array radars and 5G wireless testers require multiple synchronized signal chains that include high-speed (gigasamples per second) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and digital-to-analog converters (DACs). The JESD204B interface simplifies the process for synchronizing multichannel systems...

Using mmWave technology to enable sense and avoidance in drones
Despite the great advantages to be gained from the use of drones in civil applications, such as weather forecasting, package delivery and 3-D mapping, the drone industry faces a dual challenge: the demand for both safer flights and lower prices. Most drones on the market today are not equipped with sense-and-avoid (SAA) technology and pose potential...

Designing with PIR motion detectors: part 1
Imagine waking up in the middle of the night to find that all of your motion-sensitive lights have suddenly turned on. Now you’re stuck wondering whether there is a stranger in your home or if Fluffy the dog simply triggered the lights while on a quest for a midnight snack. This is just one example of why false trigger avoidance is necessary in...

Color the world with what’s next in RGBW LED light source technology – part 2
In part 1 of this series, we discussed a few challenges associated with a color-tunable, dimmable light-emitting diode (LED) light source and the various advantages and disadvantages of dimming methods such as analog, pulse-width modulation (PWM) and shunt FET dimming. In this installment, we will discuss the need for high PWM frequency as well as...

Quantifying harmonic distortion - Effect of sinc3 filter roll off (part 3)
In the second installment of this series , I briefly talked about the attenuation of frequencies due to the sinc 3 digital filter. In this installment, I’ll quantify the theoretical degradation due to a sinc 3 filter and talk about how the Multiphase Power Quality Measurement with Isolated Shunt Sensors Reference Design reduces this degradation...

Color the world with what’s next in RGBW LED light source technology – part 1
Red, green, blue and white (RGBW) light emitting diode (LED)-based color-tunable luminaires are very common in applications such as stage lighting, entertainment lighting and architectural lighting; Figure 1 shows a couple of examples. In this blog post, we will discuss the key challenges associated with designing such LED light sources and how to resolve...
