Power Integrations

The RDK-877 reference design describes an isolated flyback converter which provides a nominal output voltage of 12 V at 0.5 A load from a wide input-voltage range of 90 V to 305@nbsp;V ac, as well as an isolated zero-crossing detection signal. 

This power supply uses the LNK3306D from the LinkSwitch-TNZ family of ICs. The kit contains the complete power-supply specifications, bill-of-materials, transformer construction, circuit schematic and PCB layout, along with performance data and electrical waveforms.

 

Power Integrations

The RDK-866 reference design describes a non-isolated buck converter power supply with an input-line zero-crossing detection output signal. The nominal output is 5 V/500 mA across the input range of 90 V to 300 V ac. 

The system is powered by the LinkSwitch-TNZ IC controller. The LinkSwitch-TNZ family of ICs combines power conversion with lossless generation of an ac zero-crossing signal used typically for system clock and timing functions. The device incorporates a 725 V power MOSFET, oscillator, a high-voltage switched current source for self-biasing, frequency jittering, fast (cycle-by-cycle) current limit, hysteretic thermal shutdown, and output and input overvoltage protection circuitry in a monolithic IC. 

Designs using the highly integrated LinkSwitch-TNZ ICs are more flexible than discrete implementations, reducing component count by 40% or more. The key design goal is low cost, low audible noise and compact form factor for use in wireless and relay power supplies.

Infineon

The OPTIGA™ Trust M IoT Security Development Kit is the easiest way to develop and evaluate end-to-end security use cases for IoT devices. The kit enables designers to build prototypes of security applications and build full-featured IoT applications. The board includes:

  • OPTIGA Trust M security solution
  • PSoC™ 62, an Arm® Cortex®-M4/Cortex-M0+-based microcontroller
  • AIROC™ CYW43012, a low-power system-on-chip which supports dual-band 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz Wi-Fi®/Bluetooth® 5.0 networking

This development board is supplied with two ready-to-use security use cases:

  • Secured communication with AWS over MQTT using cryptography support from the OPTIGA Trust M
  • Secure, zero-touch cloud provisioning using a CIRRENT™ Cloud ID and the pre-provisioned X.509 certificate delivered with the OPTIGA Trust M

The kit is supported by the ModusToolbox™ design tool. The OPTIGA Trust M host library is available as open source code.

 

STMicroelectronics

The STEVAL-ILD003V1 demonstration board implements a low-cost analog dimmer using the TS820-600FP, a sensitive-gate silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) thyristor. The dimmer can drive typical low-power lamps such as compact fluorescent or dimmable LED lights.

Through-hole technology is used for the most important components, such as an LC filter, gate resistor, and turn-on delay capacitor, to allow for modification of the board.

The STEVAL-ILD003V1 eliminates flickering thanks to its continuous current applied through the sensitive SCR gate. This dimmer could easily replace a standard low-cost analog triac light dimmer using a diac-controlled circuit.

The STEVAL-ILD003V1 is for use in Europe at a mains voltage of 220 V. A 110 V version, the STEVAL-ILD003V2, is for use in North America. 

Key features:

  • For 2-wire wall dimmers
  • Leading-edge control compatible with all lamp types commonly found on the market
  • Dimmable power range: 3 W to 350 W 
  • 60°C maximum ambient temperature 
  • Higher than 99% power efficiency at 350 W/230 V
  • Less than 0.5 W standby power losses
STMicroelectronics

The STEVAL-MKI231KA demonstration board provides a hardware platform for evaluating the STHS34PF80, an infrared motion and presence-detection sensor from STMicroelectronics. 

The demo board is connected through flat cable to a generic adapter board, the STEVAL-MKIGIBV5, to make it compatible with the STEVAL-MKI109V3 microcontroller board. An ad hoc plastic holder with a Fresnel lens (TMOS63-10) has been provided in the kit to enable the designer to verify the in-application performance of the device.

The STEVAL-MKIGIBV5 can be plugged into a standard DIL 24 socket. The kit supports the complete STHS34PF80 pin-out, and comes ready-to-use with the required decoupling capacitors on the power supply line.

This adapter is supported by the STEVAL-MKI109V3 motherboard, which includes a high performance 32-bit MCU functioning as a bridge between the sensor and a PC, on which it is possible to use the downloadable graphical user interface, or dedicated software routines for customized applications.

It is also possible to plug the board into an X-NUCLEO-IKS01A3, X-NUCLEO-IKS02A1 or X-NUCLEO-IKS4A1 board. The kit is supported by an X-CUBE-MEMS1 expansion software package for STM32 MCUs.

Melexis

The EVB90394 evaluation board from Melexis provides an easy way to connect the MLX90394 Triaxis® magnetometer IC to a microcontroller or measurement device.

The MLX90394 IC is mounted on the EVB90394 together with a 100 nF decoupling capacitor and three pull-up resistors. Two precision headers are available for compatibility with the Melexis Triaxis DVKMagnetic board, which is supplied separately. 

The DVKMagnetic kit provides an easy way to connect the EVB90394 to magnetic devices such as a rotary knob, linear slider and joystick, which are included in the kit along with an off-axis magnet holder. The interface also provides pin-outs for an external LCD display and Arduino/Mbed boards, which are not included.
