The Human Interface Device (HID) protocol was originally targeted at human interface devices such as keyboards touchpads mice and joysticks. It was originally developed to run over USB and Bluetooth(R). For Windows 8(R) Microsoft created a new HID miniport driver that allows devices to communicate to SoC over an Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) bus. Power consumption and design simplicity are ke

If any device tests an analog designer's ingenuity it is an isolation amplifier. Its job is to pass precise analog signals - safely and without degradation - between two points that may differ by hundreds even thousands of volts. Even though the high voltage may be damaging and noisy it is often there by design and somtimes because of a fault in the system.

The task of generating a power supply for DSPs in space-constrained control applications can be a challenging task because of the need to minimize its cost and size. Therefore, this application report

The UC3871 IC is optimized for highly efficient fluorescent lamp control. An additional PWM controller is integrated on the IC for applications requiring an additional supply as in LCD displays. The switching frequency of all outputs is synchronized to the resonant frequency of the external passive network which provides Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) on the push-pull drivers. This paper describ

The UCC3809 family of BCDMOS economy low-power integrated circuits contains all the control and drive circuitry required for off-line and isolated DC-to-DC fixed-frequency current-mode switching power supplies with minimal external parts count. The UCC3956 family of Switch-Mode Lithium-Ion Battery Charger Controllers accurately controls lithium-ion battery charging with a highly efficient average

As application complexity continues to grow we have reached a limit on increasing performance by merely scaling clock speed. To meet the ever-increasing processing demand modern System-On-Chip solutions contain multiple processing cores. The dilemma is how to map applications to multicore devices. In this paper we present a programming methodology for converting applications to run on multicore

Application Note 1489 Techniques of State Space Modeling

The UCC28600 Quasi-Resonant Green-Mode Controller provides engineers with a cost-effective solution for designing energy efficient power supplies. Despite the 8-pin package the device has many built-in advanced protection features. Because most of the pins on the device have dual functions careful attention must be given to the design and layout of the circuit. What follows is a brief discuss
