Due to its simplicity and low cost, the flyback converter is the preferred choice for low-to-medium isolated DC-DC power-conversion applications. However, the use of an optocoupler or an auxiliary winding on the flyback transformer for voltage feedback across the isolation barrier increases the number of components and design complexity. The MAX17690 eliminates the need for an optocoupler or auxiliary transformer winding and achieves ±5% output voltage regulation over line, load, and temperature variations.
This application note is an RGB LED driver reference design for a low-power projector. The design features a single MAX16821 HB LED driver to drive the RGB LEDs one at a time. This approach reduces the components needed, resulting in an efficient, small, and economical design. Board layout and test results are shown.
The MAXREFDES1196 is a DC-DC boost power supply that delivers up to 4A at 24V from a 10V to 18V supply voltage. It is designed for equipment that needs a high-power, 24V output voltage that is generated from a 12V DC bus.
This reference design operates over an 8V - 16V input range and delivers 5V @ 1A at the output. This design is content from the presentation material of the TI Power Workshop. This design has been built and tested and the design files and test report are included. This is a good low cost design that demonstrates the fundamentals of a non-isolated, non-synchronous dc-dc buck converter.
This reference design uses a low-cost MSP430 and two DRV8860 eight-channel low-side drivers to drive eight seven-segment displays with brightness control. The display module benefits from the DRV8860's wide power supply range, high current, PWM brightness control, serial daisy-chain connectivity, and output scalability to hundreds of LEDs. It is a complete solution, equipped with six demonstration display modes via the onboard MCU program, with integrated protection against short circuit, under voltage and over temperature.
Maker LED displays make using LED matrix displays easy. The ready-to-use, fully assembled circuit board has everything you need to run your monitor - just plug it in! Using and customizing the display is easy, with a specially written Arduino library and a dozen pre-made examples. The Maker LED display also has Wi-Fi so it can connect to the Internet to retrieve and display information. Choose between 32 x 9 pixel or 64 x 9 pixel versions and select LED color: white, blue, red, green, orange or violet.
