What is the nature of the pulse train? Voltage and pulse rates.
 


	"Need a circuit that can trigger a relay when movement or stop is detected on a axle." How does that relate to the pulse from the timer being on only 0.5 secs? Does that mean that if the pulse train is off for more than 0.5 seconds (axes stopped turning) the  timer drops out resetting the relay?
 


	A retriggerable timer would stay on while it is  constantly being  reset else if not reset after 0.5 secs its output would go low.

	MOS has a body diode connected in parallel between the D and S poles, so why is this diode connected in parallel?
 


	
 


	This starts with the process and structure of MOS. The diode is composed of a pair of PN junctions. The P-type region corresponds to the positive pole of the diode, the N-type region corresponds to the negative pole of the diode, and the PN junction is in the middle. SiO2 in the MOS tube itself is not conductive, so the driving pole G basically does not carry current.
 


	
 


	In addition to the three poles D, G, and S, there is also an intermediate pole, which is connected to the S pole, so in the circuit symbol of MOS, the arrow pointing to the channel N channel inside the MOS is connected to the S pole.
 


	
 


	In addition, the drain of the N-type region is connected to the middle P-type region and then to the source, which just forms a diode structure, so a diode is connected in parallel in the MOS symbol.
 


	What is the use of this body diode?
 


	
 


	In some scenarios, such as battery protection, after the lithium battery is over-discharged, the protection function will be turned on: turn off the discharge MOS. When the charger is plugged in, the MOS body diode is used to make the circuit conductive and the system work normally. However, in some scenarios, the existence of this diode is undesirable because it may cause leakage between the S pole and the D pole.</description><enclosure url="https://www.electronics-lab.com/community/uploads/monthly_2024_08/image.png.1cf3ab56af249bd648033bb9aadbc9c3.png" length="72405" type="image/png"/><pubDate>Wed, 21 Aug 2024 07:19:06 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Building a Fun Timelapse Camera with Xiao ESP32 S3 Sense</title><link><![CDATA[https://www.electronics-lab.com/community/index.php?/topic/70537-building-a-fun-timelapse-camera-with-xiao-esp32-s3-sense/&do=findComment&comment=185056]]></link><description>Thank you so much for sharing your guide on building a fun timelapse camera with the Xiao ESP32 S3 Sense.

I&#x2019;ve decided to use a buck converter based on the LM2675 IC. 
	My schematic was made in DipTrace.
 


	Input: 24V (DC) 
	Output: 5V / 1A 
	Controller: LM2675 
	Switching Frequency: 260 kHz 
	I&#x2019;m planning to use two capacitors: 
	Input Capacitor (C1): To smooth the input voltage and suppress noise. 
	Output Capacitor (C2): To smooth the output voltage and minimize ripple. 
	I have the following questions and concerns: 
	Type and value of the input capacitor: I&#x2019;m considering using a 100 &#xB5;F electrolytic capacitor with low ESR, but I&#x2019;ve heard that ceramic or polymer capacitors might be better for high-frequency applications. Which type would be optimal for input noise suppression? 
	Type and value of the output capacitor: Given the need to minimize output ripple, should I use multiple low ESR ceramic capacitors or a single large electrolytic capacitor? Or perhaps a combination of both? 
	Impact of switching frequency on capacitor selection: How does the 260 kHz switching frequency affect capacitor choice? Should this be a factor when determining capacitance? 
	Temperature stability: The system will operate at elevated temperatures (up to 70&#xB0;C). Which type of capacitor is best suited for these conditions? 
	I&#x2019;d appreciate any advice or suggestions! I&#x2019;m especially interested in hearing from anyone who has experience with similar circuits. 
	By the way, how do you like DipTrace 5? Has anyone tried working on it yet?</description><enclosure url="https://www.electronics-lab.com/community/uploads/monthly_2024_08/buckconverter.png.c9cc5197015727a48bada9b225ac66ae.png" length="217464" type="image/png"/><pubDate>Tue, 20 Aug 2024 08:13:05 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Positive flank triggered retriggerable timer?</title><link><![CDATA[https://www.electronics-lab.com/community/index.php?/topic/70548-positive-flank-triggered-retriggerable-timer/&do=findComment&comment=185042]]></link><description>Hi! I did a lot of TTL logic back in the nineties but now I am lost. 
	Need a circuit that can trigger a relay when movement or stop is detected on a axle. 
	My approach is that the relay should stay active as long as the axle is turning. So, I decided to have the axle generate a pulse train. 
	Next I need a timer that triggers on positive flank and then turns off the output after maybe half a second. If there is a new positive flank during this time the timer will restart. The reason I want it this way is that the axle might stop on a positive flank and not indicating a stop. As long as the axle is spinning the relay will stay active.
 


	Any ideas? 
	 
	Also: Once upon a time there was a TTL logics datablade book. Is such documentation still available?</description><pubDate>Mon, 19 Aug 2024 11:20:13 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>False Turn-On in MOSFET Driving Circuit and Countermeasures</title><link><![CDATA[https://www.electronics-lab.com/community/index.php?/topic/70547-false-turn-on-in-mosfet-driving-circuit-and-countermeasures/&do=findComment&comment=185025]]></link><description>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwOTTqUo9tA
	 

	
		MOSFET is a switch controlled by gate voltage.
	 



	
		When the gate voltage is greater than the turn-on threshold, the MOSFET is turned on; when the gate voltage is lower than the turn-on threshold, the MOSFET is turned off.
	 



	
		In actual applications, due to the influence of other factors such as device and peripheral circuit parasitic parameters, the originally turned-off power device may be mistakenly turned on.
	 



	
		Today, let's talk about the mistaken turn-on of MOSFET in the drive circuit and its countermeasures.
	 



	
		Let's talk about two cases of mistaken turn-on: mistaken turn-on caused by Miller effect and mistaken turn-on caused by parasitic inductance.
	 



	
		False turn-on caused by Miller effect
	 



	
		When the MOSFET is turned off and then turned on, the Vds voltage (the maximum voltage that can be applied between the drain and the source) rises rapidly to produce a high dv/dt (the rate of change of the drain-source voltage during the switching transient), thereby generating a displacement current (igd) in the capacitor Cgd (Miller capacitor).
	 

	
		
	 

	
		
			This displacement current will generate a voltage spike after flowing through . If this voltage spike exceeds the turn-on threshold of the MOSFET, the MOSFET will be turned on, causing the circuit to be turned on or even damaged.
		 
	

	
		
			Another type of false turn-on is caused by parasitic inductance on the line. As shown in the figure below, Ls is the parasitic inductance on the source of the MOSFET.
		 

		
			
		 

		
			
				When the MOSFET is turned off quickly, the current decreases rapidly to produce a high di/dt, and then a negative voltage (VLS) is generated across the two ends of the parasitic inductance. If this VLS voltage exceeds the gate threshold of the MOSFET, the MOSFET will be turned on by mistake.
			 
		

		
			
				So, what methods do we have to deal with the phenomenon of MOSFET being turned on by mistake?
			 
		

		
			
				1. Adjust the gate drive resistor and capacitor
			 
		

		
			
				The turn-on/off speed of the MOSFET can be adjusted by adjusting the size of the gate drive resistor and capacitor: increase the gate drive resistor and capacitor to slow down the turn-on/off speed of the MOSFET, reduce dv/dt (di/dt) and thus reduce the gate voltage spike.
			 
		

		
			
				2. Add a transistor
			 
		

		
			
				A transistor can be placed near the gate of the power tube to prevent false opening during the shutdown period, effectively suppressing the false gate opening caused by the Miller effect.
			 
		

		
			
				3. Use an anti-parallel diode
			 
		

		
			
				The current in the inductor can disappear through the diode loop, thereby avoiding the generation of reverse potential.</description><enclosure url="https://www.electronics-lab.com/community/uploads/monthly_2024_08/image.png.fe721a617bf1844958e6fbb9cd192c59.png" length="84241" type="image/png"/><pubDate>Sat, 17 Aug 2024 06:26:42 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>High-Efficiency Class-D Audio Amplifier System</title><link><![CDATA[https://www.electronics-lab.com/community/index.php?/topic/70543-high-efficiency-class-d-audio-amplifier-system/&do=findComment&comment=185016]]></link><description>Class-D audio amplifiers are known for their efficiency and compact design, making them ideal for modern audio systems where power efficiency and space are critical.

		Compile the Timelapse Video: Use video editing software like Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or free alternatives like OpenShot or Shotcut to compile the images into a timelapse video. Or you can simply use a python script to do that.
	



	Here is the Python code to convert jpeg to video:
 

import cv2
import numpy as np
import time
import os
nframes = 500
interval = 0.5
fps=100

print("XIAO ESP32 S3 Sense TimeLapser")

# Define the path to the photos folder
photos_path = "photos/"
# Get the list of photo filenames
photos = os.listdir(photos_path)
# Sort the photos by name
photos.sort()
# Create a video writer object
video = cv2.VideoWriter("video.avi", cv2.VideoWriter_fourcc(*"MJPG"), 100, (800, 600))

# Loop through the photos
for photo in photos:
    # Read the photo as an image
    image = cv2.imread(photos_path + photo)
    # Resize the image to fit the video frame
    image = cv2.resize(image, (800, 600))
    # Write the image to the video
    video.write(image)

# Release the video writer object
video.release()
print("Video Build Completed")


	Final Output from Xiao ESP32 S3 Sense:

The latest OK3576-C development board from Forlinx Embedded offers a wealth of resource interfaces, including support for 5 x CSI-2 , meaning it can support up to five camera inputs simultaneously.
 


	This article introduces the Camera path of RK3576 processor and how to configure different output formats of MIPI-CSI camera through OK3576-C development board.
 


	
 


	01. RK3576 Camera Channels



	If there is only one camera access, turn on only rkispx_vir0 . Please note:
 


	
		vicap and isp do not have a direct correspondence;
	
	
		The relationships between different vir0/vir1 channels are essentially the same hardware being multiplexed, with the same effect. When using multiple cameras, configure them using 0, 1, 2, etc., as much as possible.
	



	The hardware channel diagram is as follows:
 


	
 


	There is one dcphy interface and two dphy interfaces. The connection paths are as follows:
 


	Single Camera (connected to one dphy):


 


	Dual Cameras (connected to two dphys)


 


	Three Cameras (connected to dcphy and two dphys)


 


	Five Cameras (connected to dcphy and two split dphys)


 


	Camera Channel Connection Diagram:
 


	
 


	(Note: For RGB data input, it is also necessary to connect to rkisp_virx)
 


	02. Sensor Link Scenarios for Different Platforms



	yuv422/rgb888 input



	There are three common scenarios for yuv422/rgb888 input:
 


	
		Cameras with Built-in isp or External isp. Enter yuv422 format;
	
	
		HDMI to MIPI CSI Input. Common chips like rk628d/f,lt6911xxx, etc., typically convert yuv422, but rgb888 format is also possible;
	
	
		Multiple ahd and serdes. A single mipi port can support up to four virtual channels. For these scenarios, an isp is not required, and the connection only needs to go to cif. Thus, the link is:
	


 


	The isp node can be disabled. The X varies depending on the platform and hardware connections.
 


	The node used for capturing images is the first video node corresponding to rkcif_mipi_lvdsX. This can be viewed using media-ctl to check the topology. For example, on the OK3576-C development board with an OV5645 camera, it is mounted on the media1 node.

	If it is a multi-channel input, it corresponds to the first four, that is, video11-video14.
 


	RAW format input



	Starting from RK3588, that is, from isp3.0, the isp of Rockchip microprocessor no longer has the acquisition function, but only does image processing, so the whole path is:
 

 


	It needs to be explained here:
 


	
		Without running aiq (Automatic Image Quality), rkcif_mipi_lvdsX can directly capture RAW images;
	
	
		If only the isp node vir0, i.e., rkispx_vir0, is enabled and the subsequent nodes rkispx_vir1/vir2, etc., are not enabled, this is a direct pass-through configuration. Even without running aiq, nv12 images can still be obtained, but these images are unprocessed and generally appear in a light green color;
	
	
		Enabling other vir nodes indicates that the isp needs to be time-multiplexed, which requires aiq to be enabled in order to capture images (aiq will handle time-multiplexing of the isp). Therefore, if only one camera is used, it is advisable to disable other isp nodes.
	



	03. Summary



	When configuring the camera, first determine the camera’s channel path and the format of the camera output. If it is RAW data, it must go through rkisp. If it is yuv422/rgb888, it only needs to be configured to rkcif_mipi_lvdsx.
 


	This article introduced the camera channels of the RK3576 processor and explained how to configure different output formats for MIPI-CSI cameras. Future articles will continue to cover camera parameter configuration and device tree setup for the RK3576 processor.]]></description><pubDate>Fri, 09 Aug 2024 03:43:16 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>MCP2200 MICROCHIP USB 2.0 to UART Protocol Converter DDR</title><link><![CDATA[https://www.electronics-lab.com/community/index.php?/topic/69977-mcp2200-microchip-usb-20-to-uart-protocol-converter-ddr/&do=findComment&comment=184960]]></link><description><![CDATA[!!!

Clean energy such as solar and wind energy has become an important part of the energy structure. However, there are still challenges to the efficient conversion and storage of these renewable energy sources.  VBP1254N MOSFETs were introduced by VBsemi because excellent performance and reliability were the key factors in solving these problems.  
 


	
 


	High-efficiency inverter core
 


	
 


	The inverter is an important equipment that converts direct current into alternating current, and is widely used in solar power generation systems and wind power generation systems. The emergence of VBP1254N provides strong support for the efficient energy conversion of inverters.  Its drain-to-source voltage (VDS) of 250V and drain-to-source current (ID) capability of 60A enable MOSFETs to handle high-power power conversion.    
 


	In addition, VBP1254N uses advanced trench technology to provide low on-resistance (RDS(on)). When VGS=10V, the typical value is only 40m&#x3A9;. This feature significantly reduces energy loss, improves the conversion efficiency of the inverter, helps the system maintain low heat accumulation at high power output, and extends the life of the equipment. 
 


	A reliable choice for battery management systems
 


	
 


	In renewable energy systems, battery management systems (BMS) are critical to the performance of energy storage devices.    VBP1254N is a reliable choice for battery management systems due to its stable performance and high threshold voltage (Vth, 3.5V typical). MOSFETs can effectively control the current during charging and discharging to ensure the safe and efficient operation of the battery pack under different working conditions. 
 


	Its &#xB1;20V gate-to-source voltage (VGS) feature enables VBP1254N to operate reliably under extreme conditions. This is particularly important for fast response and high reliability requirements in energy storage systems, ensuring that the system can quickly adjust the current under various load conditions, avoid overcharging or overdischarging the battery, and prolong the battery life. 
 


	Application prospects and advantages
 


	The high performance of the VBP1254N makes it very promising for use in renewable energy systems. Whether it's an inverter or a battery management system, this MOSFET performs well. Its excellent performance in high-power energy conversion and energy storage applications perfectly overcomes the relevant technical difficulties and provides a solid guarantee for the efficiency and reliability of the energy system.
