    ST7540 FSK Powerline MODEM chip

    Hi Davis256 Welcome to the wonderful world of the ST7540! That chip insists on being the SPI master (a monumentally stupid piece of system design in my humble opinion, making the peripheral the master!) and unless the length of the SPI word is able to be changed (as some devices can be), the...

    ST7540 FSK Powerline MODEM chip

    Hi Guys, Have not been on this forum for a while. Yes, we did get it to work eventually but never realy got it to work as well as the datasheet promised. We got it working most of the time over about 1km but had no success at all working on cables longer than 2km and between 1 and 2km was then...

    CAN protocol in Labview - request for resources

    labview can protocol You will need a CAN to USB or CAN to RS232 interface dongle as a minimum, you can get these from your local professional electronics supplier or search online, they cost about twice the cost of a USB to RS232 dongle. From then on you can treat the CAN datastream as a COM...

    [SOLVED] need help and evaluation of a circuit

    Re: help with my circuit All good stuff millwood, I did not spot your point 3 when I looked briefly at the circuit earlier. I assume he is intending to use a DC motor fed with direct rectified AC but as you have pointed out that is not what he has drawn. Also as millwood gently pointed out...

    Problem with high noise in a digital speedometer

    digital speedometer for car Connect the sensor to your circuit with a twisted pair of wires and ground your electronics on the clean side of the common mode choke so that the hall sensor and the electronics see a common clean ground point. As suggested in the previous post a small capacitor...

    [SOLVED] need help and evaluation of a circuit

    Re: help with my circuit The 22 ohm resistor limits the charge-up current of the FET input capacitance to provoide a softer motor start, the diode provides a rapid discharge path on turn-off so that the motor turns off as fast as possible. Note, that beyond the opto-isolator the circuit is...

    Accessing parallel port using Turbo C compiler on Windows XP

    parallel port c compiler Saad, Please see the this thread, there is link in one of my replies that will help you. You need to copy the free dll (inpout32.dll) when your have downloaded it into your system directory and then call it using turbo c. You will be able to access the parallel port...

    Need IC sugestion to a Switch Mode PS !!!

    Hi Bjarne, Fairchild Semi have some useful design solutions for lower power off-line Switching PSUs that are easy to use and have free software that you can download that will handle the whole design process (using their devices) for you, the two designs that I have tried using this software...

    Variable Output SMPS Like This

    variable current smps Hi, Looks like you have found an excellent solution to your problem, that device is a fully integrated buck regulator device complete with the power transistors built in, I had not seen it before, it may be useful to me someday too. You will need to recalculate the values...

    Variable Output SMPS Like This

    variable output buck smps Hi, Do you already have a bulk 48V power supply that you intend to use, or do you want to design that part as well? A flyback design will cope easily with the 60 to 70W that you require for your regulator input, these are isolated and a number of reference designs...

    Variable Output SMPS Like This

    variable output smps Hi, The PSU that you reference is a standard PSU with a switching buck regulator on the output, it will be a bit more efficient than a linear regulated PSU with the same power output but will not be very much lighter physically as it still uses a 50Hz transformer to produce...

    Help me choose topology for SMPS design

    smps full bridge Hi Take a look at darla1 post, this contains a schematic which will give you a head start with a full bridge design, there is an error in the phasing of the parallel fed driver transformers which you will need to correct, the windings on each transformer should be opposite...
