The XL6003 regulator is fixed frequency PWM Boost (step-up) DC/DC converter, capable ofdriving 1050mA load current with excellent line and load regulation. The regulator is simple to use because it includes internal frequency compensation and a fixed-frequency oscillator so that it requires a minimum number of external components to work. The XL6003 could directly drive 5~10 3W LED units at VIN=12V.
The main oscillator allows either a crystal or single-ended input clock signal. Cost-sensitiveapplications typically use an external crystal with the on-chip oscillator circuit since it is the mostcost-effective solution. It is also possible to use the internal oscillator to clock the device after theboot process has completed.
This application note shows how to write an Inter Integrated Circuit bus driver (I²C) for the Philips P90CL301micro-controller.It is not only an example of writing a driver, but it also includes a set of application interface software routines toquickly implement a complete I²C multi-master system application.For specific applications the user will have to make minimal changes in the driver program. Using the drivermeans linking modules to your application software and including a header-file into the application sourceprograms. A small example program of how to use the driver is listed.The driver supports i.a. polled or interrupt driven message handling, slave message transfers and multi-mastersystem applications. Furthermore, it is made suitable for use in conjunction with real time operating systems, likepSOS+.
The standard that governs the design of avioniccomponents and systems, DO-254, is one of the mostpoorly understood but widely applicable standardsin the avionic industry. While information on thegeneral aspects of the standard is easy to obtain, thedetails of exactly how to implement the standard aresketchy. And once an entity develops a process thatachieves compliance, the details of how compliancewas achieved become part of the intellectualproperty of that entity. This white paper focuses onthe details of developing a DO-254 compliantprocess for the design of FPGAs.
This application note describes a reference system which illustrates how to build an embeddedPowerPC® system using the Xilinx 1-Gigabit Ethernet Media Access Controller processor core.This system has the PLB_Gemac configured to use Scatter/Gather Direct Memory Access andthe Serializer/Deserializer (SerDes) interface. This application note describes how to set up thespecific clocking structure required for the SerDes interface and the constraints to be added tothe UCF file. This reference system is complete with a standalone software application to testsome of the main features of this core, including access to registers, DMA capabilities, transmitand receive in loopback mode. This reference system is targeted for the ML300 evaluationboard.
Abstract: This application note helps system designers choose the correct external components for use with the MAX16948 dualremote antenna LDO/switch, thus ensuring that automobile-regulated phantom antenna supply and output-current-monitoring circuitrymeet performance objectives. An electronic calculator is provided that helps specify the critical external components for theMAX16948, thus reducing design time. The calculator also determines the device's analog output voltage, output current-limitthreshold, and output current-sensing accuracies. The calculator includes new automatic Step By Step feature that assists designerswith component choice. To use the new automatic feature, click on the Step By Step button relative to the desired section.
This example provides a description of how to use the USART with hardware flowcontrol and communicate with the Hyperterminal.First, the USART2 sends the TxBuffer to the hyperterminal and still waiting fora string from the hyperterminal that you must enter which must end by '\r'character (keypad ENTER button). Each byte received is retransmitted to theHyperterminal. The string that you have entered is stored in the RxBuffer array. The receivebuffer have a RxBufferSize bytes as maximum.
The USART2 is configured as follow: - BaudRate = 115200 baud - Word Length = 8 Bits - One Stop Bit - No parity - Hardware flow control enabled (RTS and CTS signals) - Receive and transmit enabled - USART Clock disabled - USART CPOL: Clock is active low - USART CPHA: Data is captured on the second edge - USART LastBit: The clock pulse of the last data bit is not output to the SCLK pin
This Application Note covers the basics of how to use Verilog as applied to ComplexProgrammable Logic Devices. Various combinational logic circuit examples, such asmultiplexers, decoders, encoders, comparators and adders are provided. Synchronous logiccircuit examples, such as counters and state machines are also provided.
This introduction covers the fundamentals of VHDL as applied to Complex ProgrammableLogic Devices (CPLDs). Specifically included are those design practices that translate soundlyto CPLDs, permitting designers to use the best features of this powerful language to extractoptimum performance for CPLD designs.
