We offer a broad line of high performance low dropout (LDO) linear regulators with fasttransient response, excellent line and load regulation, and very wide input voltage rangefrom 0.9V to 100V. Output currents range from 20mA to 10A, with positive, negative andmultiple output versions available. Many devices offer output voltage operation <0.8V andsome feature operation as low as 0V, even with a single supply. Most are stable with ceramicoutput capacitors. LDO regulators can be applied in virtually any application.

Abstract: While many questions still surround the creation and deployment of the smart grid, the need for a reliablecommunications infrastructure is indisputable. Developers of the IEEE 1901.2 standard identified difficult channel conditionscharacteristic of low-frequency powerline communications and implemented an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)architecture using advanced modulation and channel-coding techniques. This strategy helped to ensure a robust communicationsnetwork for the smart grid.

為滿足無線網絡技術具有低功耗、節點體積小、網絡容量大、網絡傳輸可靠等技術要求，設計了一種以MSP430單片機和CC2420射頻收發器組成的無線傳感節點。通過分析其節點組成，提出了ZigBee技術中的幾種網絡拓撲形式，并研究了ZigBee路由算法。針對不同的傳輸要求形式選用不同的網絡拓撲形式可以盡大可能地減少系統成本。同時針對不同網絡選用正確的ZigBee路由算法有效地減少了網絡能量消耗，提高了系統的可靠性。應用試驗表明，采用ZigBee方式通信可以提高傳輸速率且覆蓋范圍大，與傳統的有線通信方式相比可以節約40%左右的成本。
Abstract:
To improve the proposed technical requirements such as low-ower， small nodes， large capacity and reliable network transmission， wireless sensor nodes based on MSP430 MCU and CC2420 RF transceiver were designed. This paper provided network topology of ZigBee technology by analysing the component of the nodes and researched ZigBee routing algorithm. Aiming at different requirements of transmission mode to choose the different network topologies form can most likely reduce the system cost. And aiming at different network to choose the correct ZigBee routing algorithm can effectively reduced the network energy consumption and improved the reliability of the system. Results show that the communication which used ZigBee mode can improve the transmission rate， cover more area and reduce 40% cost compared with traditional wired communications mode.
針對UHF讀寫器設計中，在符合EPC Gen2標準的情況下，對標簽返回的高速數據進行正確解碼以達到正確讀取標簽的要求，提出了一種新的在ARM平臺下采用邊沿捕獲統計定時器數判斷數據的方法，并對FM0編碼進行解碼。與傳統的使用定時器定時采樣高低電平的FM0解碼方法相比，該解碼方法可以減少定時器定時誤差累積的影響；可以將捕獲定時器數中斷與數據判斷解碼相對分隔開，使得中斷對解碼影響很小，實現捕獲與解碼的同步。通過實驗表明，這種方法提高了解碼的效率，在160 Kb/s的接收速度下，讀取一張標簽的時間約為30次/s。
Abstract:
Aiming at the requirement of receiving correctly decoded data from the tag under high-speed communication which complied with EPC Gen2 standard in the design of UHF interrogator， the article introduced a new technology for FM0 decoding which counted the timer counter to judge data by using the edge interval of signal capture based on the ARM7 platform. Compared with the traditional FM0 decoding method which used the timer timed to sample the high and low level， the method could reduce the accumulation of timing error and could relatively separate capture timer interrupt and the data judgment for decoding， so that the disruption effect on the decoding was small and realizd synchronization of capture and decoding. Testing result shows that the method improves the efficiency of decoding， at 160 Kb/s receiving speed， the time of the interrogator to read a tag is about 30 times/s.
Single-Ended and Differential S-Parameters
Differential circuits have been important incommunication systems for many years. In the past,differential communication circuits operated at lowfrequencies, where they could be designed andanalyzed using lumped-element models andtechniques. With the frequency of operationincreasing beyond 1GHz, and above 1Gbps fordigital communications, this lumped-elementapproach is no longer valid, because the physicalsize of the circuit approaches the size of awavelength.Distributed models and analysis techniques are nowused instead of lumped-element techniques.Scattering parameters, or S-parameters, have beendeveloped for this purpose [1]. These S-parametersare defined for single-ended networks. S-parameterscan be used to describe differential networks, but astrict definition was not developed until Bockelmanand others addressed this issue [2]. Bockelman’swork also included a study on how to adapt single-ended S-parameters for use with differential circuits[2]. This adaptation, called “mixed-mode S-parameters,” addresses differential and common-mode operation, as well as the conversion betweenthe two modes of operation.This application note will explain the use of single-ended and mixed-mode S-parameters, and the basicconcepts of microwave measurement calibration.
