Monolithic Power Systems

The TBMA600 is a test board from Monolithic Power Systems for design engineers working with the MA600 series magnetic position sensors. 

TBMA600 test boards are compatible with the MagAlpha-MagDiff evaluation kit, offering seamless connection with the MA600 series sensors, and allowing engineers to evaluate an MA600 sensor in their own prototype or circuit. The board supports side-shaft and end-of-shaft mounting configurations. 

The TBMA600 includes the assembled board with the sensor, decoupling capacitors, resistor, and connectors. It is compatible with the MPS Magnetic Sensor Evaluation System kit, part number EVKT-MagAlpha-MagDiff.

Microchip

The PIC16F131 Curiosity Nano evaluation kit from Microchip offers complete support for development with the PIC16F131 family of microcontrollers. With the award-winning MPLAB X integrated development platform and MPLAB Code Configurator (MCC), the kit enables access to the configurable logic block (CLB) module and other core-independent peripherals on the PIC16F13145 MCU. 

MCC is a free, graphical programming tool that enables designers to configure a wide array of peripherals and functions tailored to the application.

The kit’s contents are a PIC16F13145 Curiosity Nano evaluation board, and two 100mil, 1×15-pin header strips.

STMicroelectronics

The B-G473E-ZEST1S Discovery kit, a part of the STMicroelectronics motor-control development platform, supports the ZeST and HSO algorithms. 

The B-G473E-ZEST1S is a control board featuring a STM32G473QET6 microcontroller in a ZeST Discovery pack. It works with a power board such as the STEVAL-LVLP01, an optional adaptor board such as the B-ZEST-ADAPT1, and an accessories package such as the B-MOTOR-PMSMA1. 

The B-G473E-ZEST1S control board is connected to the power board or adaptor board through an embedded V2 motor-control connector. The board can also operate with the X-NUCLEO-IHM08M1, X-NUCLEO-IHM09M1, or X-NUCLEO-IHM16M1 motor-driver expansion boards via a Morpho motor-control connector. 

The board includes an integrated STLINK-V3EC in-circuit debugger and programmer.

Rohm

The range of uses for LiDAR sensors is expanding to include not only autonomous driving, but also applications in the industrial and infrastructure fields. Improvements to LiDAR sensors are producing longer range and higher resolution.

In addition to improving the characteristics of the laser diode, it is necessary to drive the laser diode at higher speeds and power. The ROHM RLD90QZWx series is a line of 905 nm, high-power, narrow emission-width laser diodes.

The REFLD002-1 reference design includes the BD2311NVX-LB gate driver to drive the RLD90QZWx laser diode. The high speed of the BD2311NVX-LB contributes to improved LiDAR sensor range and resolution.

STMicroelectronics

The EVL012LED is an LED driver board. The architecture is based on a two-stage approach: a front-end PFC pre-regulator and a downstream resonant half-bridge converter, using the new STNRG012 IC that integrates the controllers of both sections in a single device. 

The main features of this design are high efficiency, low power consumption at no load without an auxiliary supply, good power factor with low harmonic content, and reduced component count. 

The board also has a full set of protection features including output overload, short-circuit, and over-voltage, all of which can be easily defined as latched or auto-restart by changing a value in the non-volatile memory of the controller.

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.
