April newsletter
Dear Reader,
April showers bring May flowers, and the world of embedded systems is flourishing with innovation! This past month, I've been busy uncovering new electronic components that I'm eager to share in this April edition of The Road to Embedded Dexterity. As always, I'm passionate about igniting your passion for hardware design, and together, let's navigate the exciting path towards embedded dexterity!
P.S. Also, I'm thrilled to continue our valuable partnership with Mouser Electronics , a collaboration that consistently enhances our shared explorations in the world of embedded systems.
At your service!
Hardware
GCT USB Type-C Connector Solutions
GCT USB Type-C Connector Solutions (https://eu.mouser.com/new/gct/gct-usb-c-connector-solutions/) are robust and improved I/O interconnect systems with new functionality and increased performance. The USB Type-C connectors feature a reversible mating form factor with up to 10Gbps transfer rates and a 5A max power rating. You might know that my first choice when speaking of USB Type-C connectors is those by GCT. Why? Because of their community support.
Analog Devices Inc. Ultra-Low-Power I2C Digital Isolators
亚德诺半导体 Inc. ADuM1253 Ultra-Low-Power I2C Digital Isolators (https://eu.mouser.com/new/analog-devices/adi-adum1253-isolators/) offer two open-drain channels, one unidirectional and one bidirectional. This two-channel design targets applications such as I2C that require data to be transmitted in both directions on the same line but have a unidirectional clock.
2N7002AK N-Channel Trench MOSFETs
Nexperia 2N7002AK (https://mou.sr/4cNtXga) N-Channel Trench MOSFETs are enhancement mode Field-Effect Transistors (FETs) in small Surface-Mounted Device (SMD) plastic packages using Trench MOSFET technology. These AEC-Q101-qualified devices offer logic-level compatibility in a wide -55°C to +175°C junction temperature range. HW designers tend to use some components regularly in each design. For low-power signal switching purposes, I have 2N7002. You can check all my designs and find at least one in each!
MPS MIE1W0505BGLVH DC/DC Modules
Monolithic Power Systems, Inc. MIE1W0505BGLVH (https://mou.sr/3VIQ0ic) DC/DC Modules are isolated and regulated DC/DC modules supporting 3V to 5.5V input voltage (VIN) applications. The device features superior load and line regulation, allowing up to 1W of output power (POUT). The modules are housed in a small LGA-12 (4mm x 5mm) package.
TI TPS56320x Synchronous Buck Converters
德州仪器 TPS563203/6 (https://mou.sr/3U4eCRi) Synchronous Buck Converters are simple, easy-to-use 3A synchronous buck converters in a SOT-563 package. These devices are designed to achieve low standby current and operate with minimum external component counts. I love synchronous converters because they don't need a freewheeling diode, which makes my designs smaller and more compact! WEBENCH? Power Designer supports the converter.
TI INA780x I2C-Output Digital Power Monitor
德州仪器 INA780x (https://eu.mouser.com/new/texas-instruments/ti-ina780x-digital-power-monitor/) I2C-Output Digital Power Monitor has an integrated current sensing element and a 16-bit delta-sigma ADC designed specifically for current-sensing applications. The device can measure full-scale currents up to ±78.64A with common-mode voltage support from –0.1V to +85V.
