Low resolution and low input voltage analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are integrated in many of today's field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and microcontrollers. However, they fall short on meeting the needs of industrial control and industrial automation applications that require higher resolutions and higher input voltages. The Fresno (MAXREFDES11#) subsystem reference design is a 16-bit …

This application isolates a peripheral device that already supports a USB interface. Because the peripheral is not explicitly defined in this circuit, power to run the secondary side of the isolator has been provided as part of the solution. If the circuit is built onto the PCB of a peripheral design, power could be sourced from the peripheral’s off line supply, a battery, or the USB cable bus po…

The ADM2682E/ADM2687E evaluation board can be used for easy evaluation of the ADM2682E and ADM2687E power and signal isolated RS-485 transceivers. Screw terminal blocks provide convenient connections for the power and signal connections.

ENC28J60-H is world’s smallest Ethernet controller development board with its size of only 30x24 mm. It provides easy connection to any microcontroller with only a few parts via SPI which makes it perfect for adding Ethernet connectivity to embedded applications.

Cypress EZ-USB® FX3™ (FX3) is an ARM-based controller designed to implement USB 3.0 peripherals. USB 3.0 offers the SuperSpeed signaling rate of 5 gigabits per second, which is 10 times greater than the high-speed signaling rate of 480 megabits per second. Because FX3 is USB 3.0 compliant, in addition to operating at the new SuperSpeed data rate, it can also operate at the High-Speed and Full-Spe…

This bridge sensor conditioner module delivers a well regulated current output to a ground-referenced load. The first stage uses a mixed-signal programmable gain amplifier (PGA) to provide linearization and temperature compensation to a differential bridge sensor voltage. The second stage converts the PGA output voltage into current and transmits the current over a standard 4 mA to 20 mA current …

This circuit utilizes a triangle wave generator and comparator to generate a pulse-width-modulated (PWM) waveform with a duty cycle that is inversely proportional to the input voltage. An op amp and comparator generate a triangular waveform which is passed to the inverting input of a second comparator.

This user's guide shows a USB 3.0 KVM switch application example of the HD3SS6126 device and provides recommendations for high-speed digital signal PCB design.

Three-phase power measurement applications require multiple analog inputs for voltage and current measurements on each line of the three-phase system. A power monitoring system must sample all of the analog inputs simultaneously to accurately calculate the instantaneous power consumption.

The UMFT234XD is a breakout board that converts USB2.0 Full-Speed to UART. These modules do not have a USB connector, instead, the modules plug directly into the USB host connector and the pads of the PCB makes electrical contact with the electrical contacts of the USB connector.
