This year, Supercon badges become analog badges! (Or at least pretend to be pretty convincing.) Taking inspiration from the fluorescent oscilloscopes of the past, the 2023 Vectorscope badge is part analog audio playground, part art project, and all about prototyping. Who doesn't love the warm glow and lovely green fluorescence of an old Tektronix tube scope?
As global energy consumption continues to grow, especially in the residential market, utility providers require increasingly accurate and cost-effective energy metering solutions. The Kinetis® M Series two-phase energy meter reference design meets these accuracy and cost requirements by providing a high-performance analog front end combined with an embedded programmable gain amplifier to improve the accuracy of energy measurements.
This reference design demonstrates totem pole bridgeless power factor correction (PFC) using the MC56F83783, MC56F81xxx, or MC56F82748 digital signal controller (DSC).
This provides a fully digital design of LLC resonant converter based on HVP-LLC. The HVP-LLC development board is part of the NXP® High Voltage Platform.
Combined with the HVP-KV46F150 control card, it provides a ready-made software development platform for a 250-watt power supply with an input voltage of 390V DC and an output of 12V/21A.
This reference design demonstrates the implementation of an LLC resonant converter using the MC56F83783, MC56F81xxx, or MC56F82748 digital signal controller (DSC).
The three-phase power meter reference design is used to measure and record active and reactive energy in directly connected three-phase networks. It is pre-certified to the European EN50470-1, EN50470-3, Class B and Class C, and IEC 62053-21 and IEC 62052-11 international standards for active energy class 2 and class 1 electronic meters.
The full-bridge DC-DC switch mode power supply reference design is based on V-Series MCUs and is intended to provide examples of power conversion applications. A full-bridge DC-DC converter is a transformer-isolated step-down converter. The full-bridge topology consists of a full-bridge inverter module, transformer, synchronous rectifier module and filter.
The Sub-μA Current Sensor is a Kinetis K22F based current measurement board running on FreeRTOS and can be used with the Freedom Development Ecosystem or any other Arduino-like development board.
This reference design allows for non-intrusive connection between any MCU and a 3.3V shield and measurement of a wide range of low currents (~60 nA – 5 mA). Multiple communication methods are available, including integration with Freedom Sensor Toolbox (CE).
