12V to 24V, 27A Brushed DC Motor Reference Design

Brushed motors are a relatively popular motor design option due to their low price and simple control scheme. A brushed motor has a wound rotor and a permanent magnet stator. The motor is commutated via a conductive ring: this ring is connected to the rotor, which uses a brush to scrape against the commutator ring, thus commutation is achieved. Therefore, the direction of current flowing through the motor can change depending on the brush orientation and different commutation rings. Simple direction changes and speed control changes can be quickly and efficiently implemented on brushed DC motors using an H-bridge. An electronic driver is required to control the motor current in a brushed DC motor. The electronic drive circuit contains a power stage with a two-phase inverter (to meet the required power intensity), a microcontroller for implementing motor speed commands and fault handling, a current sensing function for motor start/stop protection, for control Gate drivers for two-phase inverters and power supplies for microcontrollers and other low-voltage devices.

Flexible Interface for Synchronous Coherent DAQ Using Multiple ADCs (PRU-ICSS) Reference Design

This reference design demonstrates an interface implementation to multiple high-voltage bipolar input, 8-channel, multiplexed input SAR ADCs (6) via a Sitara Arm processor using a Programmable Real-Time Unit (PRU- ICSS) expands the number of input channels.

For a 50Hz period, this equates to 32ksps per channel between 6 ADCs simultaneously (640 samples/period*50Hz*6 ADC*8 channels = 1536ksps). In addition, a second PRU is used to post-process the data to achieve coherent sampling.
