MAXIM’S BUCK-BOOST CONTROLLER ENABLES AUTOMOTIVE USB PD PORTS IN SMALL SIZE

Designers of automotive chargers now have the industry’s smallest and lowest-cost solution with the MAX25430 100W USB Power Delivery (PD) buck-boost controller and protector from Maxim Integrated Products. As the industry’s most integrated solution, the MAX25430 can reduce design size up to 40 percent compared to competitive solutions and offer the industry’s lowest cost for increasing the

X-FAB SILICON FOUNDRIES TAPES-OUT OPEN-SOURCE RISC-V MCU

X-FAB Silicon Foundries, the leading analog/mixed-signal and specialty foundry, together with crowd-sourcing IC platform partner Efabless Corporation, today announced the successful first-silicon availability of the Efabless RISC-V System on Chip (SoC) reference design. This open-source semiconductor project went from design start to tape-out in less than three months using the Efabless design flow based on

Mini Digital Barometric Altimeter

I found on Ebay very nice, small 12v 23A battery holders for PCB mounting style and decided to fit the SMALL DIGITAL BAROMETRIC ALTIMETER just on the back of the holder. So basically this is the same schematic as the SMALL DIGITAL BAROMETRIC ALTIMETER, however I moved some of the connections to different MCU pins

Microchip combines flexible dc-dc and MCU

Microchip has expanded its ‘digitally-enhanced power analogue controller’ range of microcontrollers for dc-dc conversion. These are not for digital-in-the-loop applications. Instead they include all the standard analogue blocks required for a flexible dc-dc controller, plus an over-seeing microcontroller. MCP19114 and MCP19115 to support fly-back, boost, Cuk and SEPIC topologies – in quasi-resonant (internal comparator) or
