This application note presents a reference design for a nonisolated LED driver intended to operate directly from a 400V DC input. The design drives a string of 27 WLEDs (white LEDs) or, optionally, 6 amber LEDs at 400mA. The topology is a discontinuous flyback with a transformer. The MAX16801 HB (high brightness) LED controller is featured.
In battery-powered water meters, battery life over several years is key. One of the challenges is to continuously measure water flow information while using as little power as possible. The Scan I/F sensing peripheral integrated on the ultra-low power MSP430 microcontroller solves this problem. In the water meter design, the scan interface coupled to the LC rotation detection sensor continuously detects the rotation of the thruster while the rest of the microcontroller is in a low-power sleep mode. This reference design demonstrates how to use the scan interface to achieve ultra-low power consumption (versus the same detection method using external circuitry).

The FDC2214 proximity and capacitive sensing design demonstrates how to use TI's capacitive sensing technology to sense and detect the presence of various objects. This design is a complete hardware and firmware solution. The firmware processes data from a proximity sensor and two capacitive touch buttons via the FDC2214 to determine whether an object is within the target sensing area. A dedicated colored LED lights up whenever the device detects an object in close proximity to the board or detects a button press. This design is powered by one AA battery.

The MAX17504 high-efficiency, high-voltage, synchronously rectified step-down converter with dual integrated MOSFETs operates over a 4.5V to 60V input. The converter can deliver up to 3.5A and generates output voltage from 0.9V to 90% VIN. Built -in compensation across the output voltage range eliminates the need for external components. The feedback (FB) regulation is accurate to within ±1.1% over -40°C to +125°C. The devices are available in a compact (5mm x 5mm ) TQFN lead (Pb)- free package with an exposed pad. Simulation models are available. The MAX17504 features a peak-current-mode control architecture with a MODE feature that can be used to operate the device in pulse-width modulation (PWM) , pulse-frequency modulation (PFM), or discontinuous mode (DCM) control schemes.
The MAXREFDES1214 is a portable USB charger that uses a lithium-ion (Li+) battery to charge a USB device from a USB Standard-A connector.
6.6 W non-isolated buck converter for small appliances using LinkSwitch-TN2 (LNK3207D)
When it is necessary to plug in a board into a system that is currently powered, it is critical to control the inrush current to prevent damage/system fault conditions. This application provides a simple circuit to achieve this function as well as an easy method for resetting the system and monitoring against temperature issues.
