    SPI Maximum Distance for 16 Devices

    spi max distance Paul ill look into this straight away, i have used some mA transmitters from TI before ill have a look at these and see what freq i can work with. Ill also check out the CAN SPi devices Thanks fo the advice Chris

    SPI Maximum Distance for 16 Devices

    distance spi Paul, I would certainly like to use CAN bus but only one of the modules im designing has a processer with CAN the remaining modules just have SPI IC's thus no processor. Which meant SPI was the easy way to go forward. I cannot use a processor on the remaining modules as...

    SPI Maximum Distance for 16 Devices

    spi bus distance Guys, I have up to 16 devices and our software engineers have specified a clock speed of 2MHz although this will most likely change during the development phase. My environment is potentially very noisy (industrial) which means i must also isolate each SPI interface with...

    SPI Maximum Distance for 16 Devices

    spi distance Hi Im designing 4 cirucit boards, one is a processor module (PIC33F device) the other 3 are for sensor measurments, each has a simple A2D with (SPI) interface. The circuit boards will be connected directly with a plug and socket arrangement (no wires). What is the maximum...

    Active Filter - Narrow BandPass Filter Software

    Hi Im assuming you mean an analog not a digital filter: If so try filter pro from TI which is free and works fine **broken link removed**

    power supply and earth

    Guys Many thanks for both your replies, i will use IanP suggestion and go with the capacitor and resistor. Funnily enough when i asked two engineers at work one suggested that all i needed was capacitor and the other believed just the resistor would do :) Regards Chris

    power supply and earth

    Hi I just designed a simple power supply which steps down mains 230V to +15V and -15V, i have rectified, smoothed etc the voltages and all is well. My only concern is that the secondary voltages are essentially floating with respect to Earth. I was told i could simply capacitively couple (1nF...

    input protection circuit

    Thanks for the suggestion guys i will use these ideas and look around for some more material. Question for the edge: What wattage of zener diode do you use for your circut? The pullup resistor before the RC is this a very high value? (100k)

    input protection circuit

    Thanks Anand, but are there any usefull books on the subject with examples designs etc?

    input protection circuit

    I currently have to design a analogue input circuit that measures 0-10v for an industrial envronment. The 0-10V will be buffered (op-amp) and then low pass filtered (RC) then used as a input to a ADC. What circuits do people use to protect their inputs from over voltage, voltage spikes, shorts...

    Industrial Analogue interface

    All I just came across this article on how to "Build a complete industrial-ADC interface using a microcontroller and a sigma-delta modulator": **broken link removed** Whilst a very interesting article it avoided the the more difficult question of input protection. Transorbs, diodes...
