Design Note DN530 July 2014 Jesus Rosales, Willie Chan Linear Technology's isolated µModule converters are compact solutions for breaking ground loops. These converters employ a flyback architecture whose maximum output current varies with ...
Part 1 Input Card The input cards come in several types, each tailored to a different type (or types) of input. The first input card we designed is capable of measuring temperature through either a thermistor or thermocouple. Work on the next input ...
PID stands for proportional-integral-derivative controller. This is a device used in control systems or simply to control other devices or other electronic systems. The main function of this controller is to help regulate or maintain the level of ...
Reference Design APP 5610 December 2013 Yuriy Kurtsevoy, Stuart Smith This reference design shows how to develop a high-performance, high-voltage 2- or 3-wire 420 mA current-loop transmitter suitable for industrial process control and smart ...
Application Note AN4277 November 2013 The purpose of this document is to describe STM32F30x/31x timer break feature and show how it can be used with other STM32F3 internal resources for over-current and over-voltage protection in applications such ...
Application Note 5689 November 2013 David Andeen The combination of aging electricity grid infrastructure and renewable portfolio standards present new challenges in the distribution automation space worldwide. In this application note, we review ...
You can use an LED as a photoelectric sensor. A previous Design Idea shows that such a switch is highly power-efficient, consuming almost no power ( Reference 1 ). However, you cannot adjust that configuration to switch at the desired light ...
Create the mathematical inverse of an analog voltage by converting it to frequency and measuring the period. A popular series of inexpensive distance sensors integrates an infrared emitting diode, a linear charge-coupled-device array, and a ...
There are many approaches to the problem of activating a light when it becomes dark, and a recent Design Idea covers this topic (Reference 1). Some approaches require a dc power supply and an electromechanical relay, but a better approach involves ...
REC Johnson, B Lora Narayana, and Devender Sundi, Center for Cellular and Molecular Biology, Hyderabad, India A temperature sensor and a hot transistor hold biological samples at a preset temperature It is common to use transistors for driving ...
