The MAX14885E, a 2:2 VGA switch, connects a VGA source to a VGA monitor. To ease direct connection to graphics controllers orthe ASIC, the MAX14885E has two supplies: VCC, a 5V ±5% supply, drives the VGA side interface; and the VL supply sets the logicswitching thresholds on the digital input PINS (EN, S00, S01, S10, S11, SHA, SHB, SVA, and SVB). This application note documentsthe proper sequencing of the VCC and VL power supplies on power-up.
Piezoelectric motors are used in digital cameras for autofocus,zooming and optical image stabilization. Theyare relatively small, lightweight and effi cient, but theyalso require a complicated driving scheme. Traditionally,this challenge has been met with the use ofseparatecircuits, including a step-up converter and an oversizedgeneric full-bridge drive IC. The resulting high componentcount and large board space are especially problematicin the design of cameras for ever shrinking cell phones.The LT®3572 solves these problems by combining astep-up regulator and a dual full-bridge driver in a 4mm× 4mm QFN package. Figure 1 shows a typical LT3572Piezo motor drive circuit. A step-up converter is usedto generate 30V from a low voltage power source suchas a Li-Ion battery or any input power source within thepart’s wide input voltage range of 2.7V to 10V. The highoutput voltage of the step-up converter, adjustable upto 40V, is available for the drivers at the VOUT pin. Thedrivers operate in a full-bridge fashion, where the OUTAand OUTB PINS are the same polarity as the PWMA andPWMB PINS, respectively, and the OUTA and OUTB PINSare inverted from PWMA and PWMB, respectively. Thestep-up converter and both Piezo drivers have their ownshutdown control. Figure 2 shows a typical layout
AVR32801: UC3A3 Schematic Checklist Features • Power circuit • Reset circuit • USB connection • External bus interface • ABDAC sound DAC interface • JTAG and Nexus debug ports • Clocks and crystal oscillators • MMC, SD-card, SDHC, SDIO and CE-ATA interface 1 Introduction A good hardware design comes from a proper schematic. Since UC3A3 devices have a fair number of PINS and functions, the schematic for these devices can be large and quite complex. This application note describes a common checklist which should be used when starting and reviewing the schematics for a UC3A3 design.
IntroductionAs chip designers pack more functions into ICs,pin counts continue to grow and the space betweenPINS keeps shrinking. Pin spacings of 0.5 mm and0.65 mm are not at all uncommon. The power ofthese new ICs is wonderful, to be sure, but trou-bleshooting them can be a chore because connect-ing scopes and logic analyzers has become muchmore difficult and less dependable.

Computer processors (CPUs) today have come a long way from the computer processors of the past. They draw more power, run at lower voltages, and have more PINS than ever before.
The PCA9517 is a CMOS integrated circuit that provides level shifting between lowvoltage (down to 0.9 V) and higher voltage (2.7 V to 5.5 V) I2C-bus or SMBus applications.While retaining all the operating modes and features of the I2C-bus system during thelevel shifts, it also permits extension of the I2C-bus by providing bidirectional buffering forboth the data (SDA) and the clock (SCL) lines, thus enabling two buses of 400 pF. Usingthe PCA9517 enables the system designer to isolate two halves of a bus for both voltageand capacitance. The SDA and SCL PINS are over voltage tolerant and arehigh-impedance when the PCA9517 is unpowered.
The PCA9519 is a 4-channel level translating I2C-bus/SMBus repeater that enables theprocessor low voltage 2-wire serial bus to interface with standard I2C-bus or SMBus I/O.While retaining all the operating modes and features of the I2C-bus system during thelevel shifts, it also permits extension of the I2C-bus by providing bidirectional buffering forboth the data (SDA) and the clock (SCL) lines, thus enabling the I2C-bus or SMBusmaximum capacitance of 400 pF on the higher voltage side. The SDA and SCL PINS areover-voltage tolerant and are high-impedance when the PCA9519 is unpowered.
