    [STM32] Understanding of FSMC

    I guess I understand. Having a given memory location (e.g 0x6000) means that I can write code like : (*(char *)0x6000) = 'H'; (*(char *)0x6001) = 'i'; (*(char *)0x6002) = '!'; (this is just an example, I wouldn't code it like that) So if I understand it correctly, it means that FSMC cares...

    [STM32] Understanding of FSMC

    Hello, I am using an STM32L496ZG, and 1MB of SRAM (this one : **broken link removed**) My first idea was to use it with GPIO registers to control it. Like using GPIO_ODT to write the address I want to write to, and ODT again to write the data at this place. I guess for SRAM it is a very slow...

    PCB layout feedback (SMPS)

    Hi, I already verified all the things you pointed out and ran a design rule check with no error. All the footprints have been verified too, and for the dimensions I don't remember everything except the smallest track is 0.254mm wide, and the connector on the right is a basic 2.54mm 2 holes...

    PCB layout feedback (SMPS)

    Hello, c_mitra : Q1 is a P-channel mosfet to protect against reverse polarity. Klaus, thank you for those precisions. I am having a hard time visualizing how I could implement a ground star point in this layout, but I think it is not a big deal anyway for my applications. So do you think this...

    PCB layout feedback (SMPS)

    Hi, I think I get what you mean, so I separated the feedback trace from the current feeding trace. Am I good with this ? I did'nt fill the bottom layer ground so you could see the bottom layer trace (SW) a bit easier. Thank you

    PCB layout feedback (SMPS)

    Hey, I understand the things you pointed out, but I'm still a bit confused about what a Kelvin connection really is in the end. Anyway I tried to follow as much as possible your advices, I came with this. I think it is a bit better than the first one, and that's for me very close to the limits...

    PCB layout feedback (SMPS)

    Thanks ! I see. I tried an other design yesterday, removed the vias for now, and modified it in GIMP because I don't have my CAD software available right now. Do you think this technique might be better ? SW is not running under device, but goes on bottom layer (We assume there is no ground...

    PCB layout feedback (SMPS)

    I apologize, I completely for the datasheet. https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/tps562208.pdf Yes I get it, I will modify it as soon as possible. The reason why I did draw the schematic like that is that I followed datasheet's schematic. But it's not very conventional indeed. Thanks

    PCB layout feedback (SMPS)

    Hi, I'm trying to layout a SMPS that gets 12V, ad outputs 3.3V. The maximal current will not exceed 1 Amp. I would like to know what you think about this layout, and if there is major or minor issues. More importantly, I am a bit confused about a line in the datasheet saying "5. Do not allow...

    [General] External SRAM addresses

    Hi KlausST, Oh yes I found the information in notes, in 2M x 8bits mode, pin 45 is used as A20. Thank you very much for those explanations. Have a great day. Antoine

    [General] External SRAM addresses

    This is awkward. I don't understand how I missed that. Ok so no problem in the end. I want to use my 1M space so I will use all the addresses pins. Just a little question. If the range is from 0x0 to 0xFFFFF, how can you achieve 2M with 20 pins on this chip ? (link below) Is it because each...

    [General] External SRAM addresses

    Hi, I have a few questions a SRAM external chip I want to use. It has 20 address lines, from A0 to A19. It should mean that my address range is from 0x0 to 0xFFFFF. Since this is a 1024K-8bit array, I guess my real usable range is 0x0 to 0x3FF. Does it mean I use only pins A0 to A9 ? Does it...

    [SOLVED] Calculus about internal oscillation with LCD display

    You are probably right. I am a S.E student, and next year I would like to start an E.E course. I bought The Art of Electronics to start learning basics. Anyway I don't start this project before being confident about the basics, which is why it is only theoretical for now. Anyway thank you a lot...

    [SOLVED] Calculus about internal oscillation with LCD display

    Yes I can imagine. I am just evaluation depending on the worst case scenario. After reading a bit more about how instructions and clock cycles, I learned that a clock cycle is not just 1 bit but the size of the MCUs bus (in my case 32 bits) So I guess writing to PORTB which is 16 pins, equals 1...

    [SOLVED] Calculus about internal oscillation with LCD display

    Sorry I meant 16 GPIO. I think I get where I'm wrong. If a port is 8 bits, it means that writing something like PORTB = 0b01010101 takes 1 instruction ?
