In recent years, the use of switch mode power supply (SMPS) has become more comon as more applications demand for greater power eficiency. It makes use of semiconductor (mostly MOSFET) fast switches to switch DC input that has been rectified at high frequency. The advantages of high frequency switching are that it reduces the size of inductor, capacitors & transformer used. Other advantages of switching power supply over linear power supply are : 1) High Efficiency (up to 90% and above for nice design). 2) Output can be higher than input. 3) Able to operate over a variety of input power supply. 4) Able to have over output. The setback of using SMPS compared to linear power supply is that it generates electrical noise which contributes to electromagnetic compatibility design issues & more part count. Buck Converter SMPS The SMPS circuit below from Power Integration makes use of LNK304 as its high frequency switch. Take note that this circuit is non isolated type which means tha...

LCD Module in 4-bit Mode Circuit diagram. In many projects use is made of alphanumeric LCDs that are driven internally by Hitachi’s industry-standard HD44780 controller. These displays can be driven either in 4-bit or 8-bit mode. In the first case only the high nibble (D4 to D7) of the display’s data bus is used. The four unused connections still deserve some closer attention. The data lines can be used as either inputs or outputs for the display. It is well known that an unloaded output is fine, but that a floating high-impedance input can cause problems. So what should you do with the four unused data lines when the display is used in 4-bit mode? This question arose when a circuit was submitted to us where D0-D3 where tied directly to GND (the same applies if it was to +5 V) to stop the problem of floating inputs. The LCD module was driven directly by a microcontroller, which was on a development board for testing various programs and I/O functions. There was a switch present for turnin...

ETA-1D chassis is applied in PF29GA18A series. By use of Toshiba V/C/D-MCU 2IN1 IC for TV small signal processing and bus control, the chassis enables TV tuning, adjustment, control and picture correction, featuring high-integration, high-performance-to-price ratio and high-reliability and compact circuit with fewer external components. The chassis, widely used in small and medium TVs, provides much more convenience for manufacturing and technical service. It includes: 2IN1 IC 8897PSBNG-4VB6 for PAL/NTSC small signal processing and bus control [TMPA8897CMANG /CPANG/CRANG /CSANG] EEPROM AT24C16 for data memory LA78041 for vertical output power amplifying LA42102 for audio power amplifying TA1343N for audio processor FSCQ1265RTYDTU for power circuit adjustment and control.
