Following 2009, auto sales in the United States and Europe are expected to begin a slow recovery. The situation is not expected to improve in the near future, with U.S. and Western European sales not expected to recover to 2007 levels for five or six years. This is a grim picture indeed, even for our industry, but for sure there will be a revolution in the power technology used here. One of the harshest criticisms of the auto industry has been that it kept on doing what it was good at; producing We find ourselves now right at the the same old stuff without embracing the start of the forthcoming calendar year, new ideas and technologies available. although I’m still wondering what Let’s hope things move forward here happened to the year – it went so fast. faster than predicted.

    HV9805 230VAC SEPIC Evaluation Board User’s Guide 2015 Microchip Technology Inc. DS50002362A Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices: • Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet. • Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the intended manner and under normal conditions. • There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property. • Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code. • Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.” Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.

  • Circuit for Protecting Ads131m0x ADC from Electrical Overstress
    www.ti.com Analog Engineer's Circuit Circuit for protecting ADS131M0x ADC from electrical overstress Data Converters Dale Li Specifications on ADS131M0x Minimum (AGND = Maximum (AVDD = 0V) 3.3V) Absolute Maximum Ratings Analog Input Voltage (VIN_Abs) –1.6V +3.6V Analog Input Current (IIN_Abs) –10mA +10mA Analog Input Range Differential Input –1.2V +1.2V (VIN at Gain=1 and VREF=1.2 V) Single-ended Input –1.2V +1.2V Design Description This circuit shows an external solution to protect ADS131M02, ADS131M03, ADS131M04, ADS131M06, and ADS131M08 Delta-Sigma ADCs from electrical overstress (EOS). The protection is implemented with external Schottky diodes and switching diodes. This document shows how the Schottky diodes and switching diodes can be used with current-limiting resistors to implement the external protection clamp for the overstress signal and maintain a minimum impact on performance, especially signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and total harmonic distortion (THD). This circuit is useful in the following end equipment: Battery test, Semiconductor test, Electricity meter, Power quality analyzer, and Power quality meter. For protecting high-voltage SAR ADCs from electrical overstress, see Input protection for high-voltage ADC circuit with TVS diode and Circuit for protecting ADC with TVS diode and PTC fuse. For protecting low-voltage SAR ADC from electrical overstress, see Circuit for protecting low-voltage SAR ADCs from electrical overstress with minimal impact on performance. The following figure comes from the Digital Control Reference Design for Cost-Optimized Battery Test Systems Reference Design in the Battery Test application. During an electrical overstress event, this circuit can potentially apply damaging voltages and currents to the inputs of the ADS131M08 ADC: the voltage from the amplifiers (INA821 and TLV171) can reach the power supply voltages (+10V or –5V), and the overstress current from the amplifiers can be as high as the short-circuit current for each respective amplifier.

Additional functions include an externally programmable soft-start function for easy inrush current control, internal over-voltage protection (OVP), cycle-by-cycle current limit protection, under voltage lock-out and thermal shutdown. The PAM242x is available in the small SOP-8(EP) package.
