MAX8881and DS2490 Characterization for Cells

Rechargeable AA cells are very popular for a large variety of portable applications. The number of brands is also high, and the cell quality can differ considerably. Cell capacity is sometimes different from that specified, and the capacity often deteriorates dramatically after a limited number of discharge cycles. ....

PWM Control Circuit - TL494

PWM Control Circuit - TL494

  • Complete PWM Power-Control Circuitry
  • Uncommitted Outputs for 200-mA Sink or Source Current
  • Output Control Selects Single-Ended or Push-Pull Operation
  • Internal Circuitry Prohibits Double Pulse at Either Output
  • Variable Dead Time Provides Control Over Total Range
  • Internal Regulator Provides a Stable 5-V Reference Supply With 5% Tolerance
  • Circuit Architecture Allows Easy Synchronization

The TL494 incorporates all the functions required in the construction of a pulse-width-modulation (PWM) control circuit on a single chip. Designed primarily for power-supply control, this device offers the flexibility to tailor the power-supply control circuitry to a specific application.

The TL494 contains two error amplifiers, an on-chip adjustable oscillator, a dead-time control (DTC) comparator, a pulse-steering control flip-flop, a 5-V, 5%-precision regulator, and output-control circuits.

ICL8038 Versatile Waveform Generator

ICL8038 Device Information

The ICL8038 waveform generator is a monolithic integrated circuit capable of producing high accuracy sine, square, triangular, sawtooth and pulse waveforms with a minimum of external components. The frequency (or repetition rate) can be selected externally from 0.001Hz to more than 300kHz using either resistors or capacitors, and frequency modulation and sweeping can be accomplished with an external voltage....

  • Low Frequency Drift with Temperature 250ppm/oC
  • Low Distortion 1%(SineWave Output)
  • High Linearity 0.1%(Triangle Wave Output)
  • Wide Frequency Range 0.001Hz to 300kHz
  • Variable Duty Cycle 2%to 98%
  • High Level Outputs TTL to 28V
  • Simultaneous Sine, Square, and Triangle Wave Outputs
  • Easy to Use - Just a Handful of External Components Required

SPICE Analog Simulation Program TINA TI

SPICE Analog Simulation Program TINA TI

TINA is an easy-to-use, but powerful, circuit simulation program based on a SPICE engine. TINA-TI is a fully functional version of TINA, loaded with a library of TI macromodels plus passive and active models.

TINA-TI's new version 7.0 has changes from Version 6.0 in the following areas:

  • TINA-TI provides support for switching power supply devices.
  • TINA-TI has no limit to circuit size.
  • TINA-TI has more SPICE models and example circuits included.
  • User will be notified when an update is available for the tool and TI model library.
  • TINA-TI now supports SMPS simulation capability.
  • Circuits developed in TINA-TI 7.0 will work with TINA Industrial version 7.
  • TINA-TI Version 6.0 is forward compatible with Version 7.0, but not visa versa

Users operating TINA-TI version 6.0 must download the application schematic files separately. Access the Application Schematics here.

TINA's quick start guide, video tutorials, and other documentation.

Application Schematic categories include:

  • Amplifiers - Audio, Comparator, Current Loop, Control Loop, Filters, Oscillators, .. etc.
  • Noise Analysis - Noise Sources
  • Sensor Simulators - RTD Simulator
