New XP Embedded tutorial videos now available!

-

Hey all, some folks on the XP Embedded team have recorded some video demonstrations of various features of XP Embedded, including walkthroughs of some of the new XPE SP2 features.  Click here to check them out today!  I did the Device Update Agent (DUA) video, so please forgive me for being a little nervous.  I also had a really bad cold the day I recorded it and had to stop for some coughing fits, but the folks in the MSDN recording studio did a great job of editing it out  🙂  Here's a complete list of the videos that are available (not all of them are new):

  • Accelerated Operating System Configuration
  • Automated Dependency Checking and Build Process
  • Building a Windows XP Embedded Device
  • Device Update Agent for Windows XP Embedded
  • Windows Embedded Application Development
  • Windows XP Embedded – Basic Lab
  • Windows XP Embedded Product Overview
  • Windows XP Embedded with Service Pack 2 – Basic
  • Windows XP Embedded with Service Pack 2 Technical Training: Embedded Enabling Features
  • Windows XP Embedded with SP2 Security Feature Enhancements
  • Assisted Component Authoring
  • Automated Device Analysis
  • Systems Management Server (SMS) and Windows XP Embedded
  • Windows XP Embedded – Advanced

    N-Channel MOSFET High-Side Drive: When, Why and How?

    -
    Image
    I had previously shown how to drive N-channel MOSFETs in low-side configuration. You can find the tutorial here: http://electel.blogspot.com/2016/12/low-side-mosfet-drive-circuits-and_23.html I’ve been requested to write a tutorial/article regarding high-side MOSFET drive. So, here I’ll talk about N-channel MOSFET high-side drive. Let’s first look at the common low side configuration.  Fig. 1 - N-channel MOSFET configured as low-side switch Now let’s look at a MOSFET configured as a high-side switch. Fig. 2 - N-channel MOSFET configured as high-side switch You can quite easily see the difference between the high-side configuration and the low-side configuration. In the low-side configuration, the load is connected between the drain and +V, while the source is connected to ground. Thus, the gate drive is referenced to ground. So by applying a voltage of >7V (for Power MOSFETs) or >4V (for Logic Level MOSFETs), the MOSFET can be fully turned on. Now let’s talk about the high-si...

    Using the high-low side driver IR2110 - explanation and plenty of example circuits

    -
    Image
    In many situations, we need to use MOSFETs configured as high-side switches. Many a times we need to use MOSFETs configured as high-side and low-side switches. Such as in bridge circuits. In half-bridge circuits, we have 1 high-side MOSFET and 1 low-side MOSFET. In full-bridge circuits we have 2 high-side MOSFETs and 2 low-side MOSFETs. In such situations, there is a need to use high-side drive circuitry alongside low-side drive circuitry. The most common way of driving MOSFETs in such cases is to use high-low side MOSFET drivers. Undoubtedly, the most popular such driver chip is the IR2110. And in this article/tutorial, I will talk about the IR2110. You can download the IR2110 datasheet from the IR website. Here's the download link: www.irf.com/product-info/datasheets/data/ir2110.pdf First let’s take a look at the block diagram and the pin assignments and pin definitions (also called lead assignments and lead definitions): Fig. 1 - IR2110 block diagram (click on image to enlarge)...

    Using the SG3525 PWM Controller - Explanation and Example: Circuit Diagram / Schematic of Push-Pull Converter

    -
    Image
    PWM is used in all sorts of power control and converter circuits. Some common examples include motor control, DC-DC converters, DC-AC inverters and lamp dimmers. There are numerous PWM controllers available that make the use and application of PWM quite easy. One of the most popular of such controllers is the versatile and ubiquitous SG3525 produced by multiple manufacturers – ST Microelectronics, Fairchild Semiconductors, On Semiconductors, to name a few. SG3525 is used extensively in DC-DC converters, DC-AC inverters, home UPS systems, solar inverters, power supplies, battery chargers and numerous other applications. With proper understanding, you can soon start using SG3525 yourself in such applications or any other application really that demands PWM control. Before going on to the description and application, let’s first take a look at the block diagram and the pin layout. Pins 1 (Inverting Input) and 2 (Non Inverting Input) are the inputs to the on-board error amplifier. If you a...
