    Chapter 6 BUILDING a HOMEBREW

    1. Chapter 6, Harris CRYSTAL SETS TO SIDEBAND © Frank W. Harris 2002 Chapter 6 BUILDING A HOMEBREW QRP Among the guys I work, QRPs seem to be the most common homebrew project, second only to building antennas. Therefore this chapter describes a simple QRP design I have settled on. I use my QRPs as stand-alone transmitters or I use them to drive a final amplifier to produce higher power, 25 to 100 watts. It’s true that before you build a transmitter you’ll need a receiver. Unfortunately, a good selective, all-band ham receiver is complicated to build and most guys don’t have the time and enthusiasm to do it. (See chapter 13.) The next chapter describes building a simple, 5 transistor 40 meter receiver which I have used with the QRP below to talk to other hams. This simple receiver will work best during off hours when 40 meters isn’t crowded. It can also be used to receive Morse code for code practice. A 40 meter QRP module. The QRP transmitter above is designed exclusively for 40 meters, (7.000 to 7.300 MHz.) The twelve-volt power supply comes in through the pig-tail wire up on the right. The telegraph key plugs into the blue-marked phono plug socket on the right of the aluminum heat sink. The antenna output is the red-colored socket on the left end of the heat sink. The transmitting frequency of the QRP module is controlled by a quartz crystal. That’s the silver rectangular can plugged into the box on the right front.

    APPLICATION NOTE How to Select the Right Reinforced Transformer for High Voltage Energy Storage Applications

    APPLICATION NOTE How to Select the Right Reinforced Transformer for High Voltage Energy Storage Applications Introduction Providing isolated low voltage bias power to ICs such as microcontrollers, analog-to-digital HCT Series converters, isolated gate drivers or voltage monitoring ICs in high voltage systems is usually accomplished with an isolated DC-DC converter. If the high voltage system is spread out over several modules, the architecture may call for a parallel DC bus on the low voltage side with multiple isolated low power DC-DC converters for each module. Because it is used multiple times in this scenario, an efficient and cost-effective topology is the best approach. This application note highlights the design benefits of using push-pull transformers that are proven solutions for these situations. Used as an example is the Bourns® Model HCTSM8 series transformer, which is AEC-Q200 compliant and available with a wide range of turns ratios as standard. Multiple turns ratios are an important feature enabling the same basic circuit topology to be replicated across a system with the same components and PCB layout. With a transformer series like the Model HCTSM8, designers are able to select the right reinforced transformer part number based on the specified output voltage for powering a microcontroller or an isolated IGBT gate driver. www.bourns.com 07/20 • e/IC2075 APPLICATION NOTE How to Select the Right Reinforced Transformer for High Voltage Energy Storage Applications Why Push-Pull Transformers are an Optimal Choice Electrical Advantages HCT Series Push-pull transformers are known to operate well with low voltages and low variations in input and output.

    Very High Frequency Integrated POL for CPUs Dongbin Hou Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in Electrical Engineering Fred C. Lee, Chair Qiang Li Rolando Burgos Daniel J. Stilwell Dwight D. Viehland March 23rd, 2017 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: Point-of-load converter, integrated voltage regulator, very high frequency, 3D integration, ultra-low profile inductor, magnetic characterizations, core loss measurement © 2017, Dongbin Hou Dongbin Hou Very High Frequency Integrated POL for CPUs Dongbin Hou Abstract Point-of-load (POL) converters are used extensively in IT products. Every piece of the integrated circuit (IC) is powered by a point-of-load (POL) converter, where the proximity of the power supply to the load is very critical in terms of transient performance and efficiency. A compact POL converter with high power density is desired because of current trends toward reducing the size and increasing functionalities of all forms of IT products and portable electronics. To improve the power density, a 3D integrated POL module has been successfully demonstrated at the Center for Power Electronic Systems (CPES) at Virginia Tech. While some challenges still need to be addressed, this research begins by improving the 3D integrated POL module with a reduced DCR for higher efficiency, the vertical module design for a smaller footprint occupation, and the hybrid core structure for non-linear inductance control. Moreover, as an important category of the POL converter, the voltage regulator (VR) serves an important role in powering processors in today’s electronics.

    Switch Mode Power Supplies and Their Magnetics Tutorial

    Datatronic Switch Mode Power Supplies and their Magnetics Many factors must be considered by designers when choosing the magnetic components required in today’s electronic power supplies DATATRONIC DISTRIBUTION, INC. Datatronic In today’s day and age the most often used topology for electronic power supplies is that of the Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS), which is a major user of magnetics. In some applications the “older type” linear supplies are still used, but in the early 70’s SMPS came into being spurred by the development of faster switching transistors. This facilitated the use of much smaller magnetic components and greater efficiencies. DATATRONIC DISTRIBUTION, INC. Datatronic SMPS and their General Magnetic Usage In general, there are four different types of magnetic components that are needed for the typical SMPS. They include the Output Transformer, usually the most noticeable because of its size compared to the others, the Output Inductors, the Input Inductors and the Current Sense Transformer, each with its own important function. DATATRONIC DISTRIBUTION, INC. Datatronic SMPS and their General Magnetic Usage 1.The Output Transformer or “Main” Transformer takes the input voltage that is supplied to its primary winding and then transforms the input voltage to one or more voltages that are the output of the secondary winding or windings. 2. The Output Inductors are used to filter the output voltage so that the load “sees” a filtered DC voltage. DATATRONIC DISTRIBUTION, INC. Datatronic SMPS and their General Magnetic Usage 3. The Input Inductors filter out the noise generated by the switching transistors so that this noise isn’t emitted back to the source.

    INTRODUCTION:- Ferrites Are Ferromagnetic Material Containing Predominantly Oxides Iron Along with Other Oxides of Barium, Stron

    INTRODUCTION:- Ferrites are ferromagnetic material containing predominantly oxides iron along with other oxides of barium, strontium, manganese, nickel, zinc, lithium and cadmium .Ferrites are ideally suited for making device like inductor core, circulators, memory devices and also for various microwave application. Although the saturation magnetisation of ferrites less than that of ferromagnetic alloys, they have advantages such as applicability at higher frequency, lower price and greater electrical resistance. Since 1950, soft ferrites have been widely studied and have become a field of interest of many researches because of their application potential in the modern electronics industry. The electrical and magnetic properties of these materials are structure sensitive and can be altered by doping or substitution. The substitution of aluminium in the inverse ferrites like Nickel, copper and cobalt ferrites have proved to be useful by increasing their saturation, magnetization, resistivity, however, at the cost of decrease of Curie temperature. Cadmium ferrite is a normal spinel ; its magnetic moment per unit cell is zero. Low magnetic high resistive ferrite are so applicable in the high frequency transformer cores. The addition of aluminium which has strong preference for the octahedral sites should exhibit the decrease of the magnetisation because aluminium is nonmagnetic. As aluminium content increases, the magnetic moment of unit cell decreases that means show triangular spin moment, their occurs a reduction in the sub lattice interaction. The removal of iron ions from magnetic sublattice and substitution of the nonmagnetic aluminium ion in its place weakens the magnetism. Due to this substitution improves catalytic, dielectric and magnetic properties, as they possess high resistivity and negligible eddy current losses.
