    Low side MOSFET driver with protection?

    If you post your circuit, it would certainly help. Can you use a sense resistor, a fast op-amp configured as differential and a comparator to detect fault?

    EMI filter effect in motor drive circuits

    I should have said, is there a mathematical way or a study paper that discusses the effect of EMI filter when it is placed after the bridge rectifier (on the DC bus side)? This isn't for a new design. In the past designs that I have done, I have used a full blown (one or two stage) filter with...

    EMI filter effect in motor drive circuits

    Yes, the motor drive is the main source of EMI here. Placing the filter after rectifier makes it a simpler filter (across 2 lines rather than 3). Is there some simple math to understand how the filter effectiveness is reduced? Or running a test with LISN the only way?

    EMI filter effect in motor drive circuits

    See the two images attached. Given that a good layout is done, how less effective is an EMI filter if it is placed after the bridge rectifier?

    why is SMPS control such a big secret?

    It's not off-topic. I was responding to the poster's original question.

    [SOLVED] Comparator in a TL431 battery voltage circuit

    Hmm I kind of understand it. This 2V cathode voltage when R<2.5, where is that in the datasheet? or how would you tell that from the datasheet?

    [SOLVED] Comparator in a TL431 battery voltage circuit

    I am trying to use TL431 as a comparator (kind of like this article): **broken link removed** The article says - "When the battery voltage is higher than the threshold voltage, the cathode voltage of the TL431 is at its low level of approximately 2V". My question is = Why does the cathode...

    why is SMPS control such a big secret?

    I didn't read any of the posts above. To answer your question, SMPS control is not a secret. The best way to go about it is pick a controller (other than Power Integrations junk) and design a type 2 feedback circuit. There are a lot of resources for it. But the easiest way to go about it is use...

    Question on TL431 Opto Feedback, how does it work?

    https://i53.tinypic.com/300qt8l.jpg I have searched for this a lot (on this forum and google). Can someone verify/explain how this circuit works? Here is my understanding: TL431 has a ~2.5V reference. The resistor divider of R1/Rlower creates a divided down output voltage. The difference...

    [SOLVED] Op amp to rescale A/D input

    Because I know where my sensor reading will be for the most part, so I don't want the whole range... I want to extract just the data I need, maybe put some gain on it, and send it to A/D to look for small changes. I am using a single supply op-amp, so summing can work. Though I want it such...

    [SOLVED] Op amp to rescale A/D input

    enjunear, the sensor output gets buffered and goes into a 0-3.3v a/d. E-goe, I was thinking about that (offset and clip the upper part). So, if I do 1V offset (to remove the lower range), then the output of the opamp will be 1V when no input is applied? Because of the dc bias. What I want is...

    [SOLVED] Op amp to rescale A/D input

    I have a 0-5V sensor output that goes to an op amp buffer and then to an A/D. I only need data from 1-3.3V from the sensor output. Chopping the top end is easy by using a zener clamp or something similar. How do I remove the bottom end, so I don't see 0-1V data. I figure use an op amp, but what...

    bldc motor controller

    Thanks! I already did that. Product Index, PMIC - Motor Drivers, and chose application as three phase bldc motor drive or 3p motor drive, with throughole package. I may have to go with an h-bridge pack and separate gate driver IC. It would have been nice if it was in one package, it makes less...

    bldc motor controller

    I am using Actel Fusion FPGA, and the Fusion embedded kit: Fusion Embedded Development Kit The Ishnatek guys do this in verilog, which I don't know. I am doing it in VHDL. It's so hard to find motor drivers in DIP packs.

    bldc motor controller

    The components you suggested make up the entire motor controller. I need just the middle portion from the block diagram (H-bridge + Gate driver). Something like this: **broken link removed** Except, it does not come in TH/PDIP style package.
