The TIDA-01494 reference design is a compact, high-efficiency, 24V DC, 480W nominal, 720W peak output reference design for industrial AC/DC power supplies. The circuit includes a front-end continuous conduction mode (CCM) power factor correction (PFC) circuit, followed by a powerful LLC stage with synchronous rectification. The design ensures an efficiency greater than 93.5% over a wide load range, allowing the system to operate without forced cooling. The UCC256301-based LLC stage utilizes the ZCS avoidance feature in the UC256301 to achieve peak output power, minimizing the PFC bulk capacitor to meet holdup requirements while enabling the system to handle short circuit and overcurrent conditions. The UCC24612-2-based synchronous rectifier helps minimize losses in the output rectifier, while its advanced proportional gate driver and dead-time optimization help avoid breakdown and minimize losses.
Liquid Tolerant Capacitive Touch Keyboard Design (TIDM-1021) is a reference design for implementing a liquid tolerant capacitive touch human machine interface (HMI). It integrates TI's MSP430FR2633 microcontroller (MCU) with high-performance CapTIvate™ touch technology and optimized sensor layout design and software. This reference design demonstrates how to design capacitive touch hardware and software that can operate reliably under the influence of liquids and pass challenging conducted noise immunity testing.
The Energy Monitor is designed as a complete set of tools for measuring and displaying the energy consumption of individual loads within a smart building, such as major appliances. This tool allows engineers to quickly evaluate TI's solutions for low-cost energy metering applications. The reference design comes with hardware and software design files to speed engineers' development process. The energy monitor design can also be expanded to integrate with TI's ZigBee and Wifi reference designs to add wireless communication capabilities to the end product.
