TIDA-060029: k value of 4/π

Hello Kondou-san, 

1. I believe Figure 2-10 is k = 2/π, but Figure 2-11 is k = 4/π due to signal's area decreases by half. 

2. You are correct it should be Zx'=(Zo*Zx)/(Zo-Zx). We are currently working on the revision of the reference design. Thank you for pointing out this error to us!

Thank you,

Sima

Thank you for your reply.

I don't quite understand the "1. I believe Figure 2-10 is k = 2/π, but Figure 2-11 is k = 4/π due to signal's area decreases by half. " part, so could you explain in detail?

Thank you very much.

Hello Kondou-san, 

  It might actually be just 1/π when looking into the full derivation by treating the resultant signal as a cosine from 0 to π/2 . I will look into this and get back to you.

Thank you,
Sima 

I'll wait.

thank you.

Hello Kondou-san, 

  I apologize for the long delay. For figure 2-10 and figure 2-11, the derivations are within the attached pdf or word doc. If we took the full cycle of Figure 2-11, then the average value of the signal will be 0, therefore for average value, half cycles are taken. The figure scaling looks to be a bit off as well in the reference design from pre and post modulation.

Thank you for your patience and let me know if there are further questions,

The part that says "Where k is equal to 4/π." is wrong, but is the correct one "Where k is equal to 1/π."?
