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

    Using the TLP250 Isolated MOSFET Driver - Explanation and Example Circuits

    -
    Image
    I’ve already shown how to drive an N-channel MOSFET (or even an IGBT) in both high-side and low-side configurations in a multitude of ways. I’ve also explained the principles of driving the MOSFETs in these configurations. The dedicated drivers I’ve shown so far are the TC427 and IR2110. Some people have requested me to write up on MOSFET drive using the very popular TLP250. And I’ll explain that here. The TLP250, like any driver, has an input stage, an output stage and a power supply connection. What’s special about the TLP250 is that the TLP250 is an optically isolated driver, meaning that the input and output are “optically isolated”. The isolation is optical – the input stage is an LED and the receiving output stage is light sensitive (think “photodetector”). Before delving any further, let’s look at the pin configuration and the truth table. Fig. 1 - TLP250 Pin Configuration Fig. 2 - TLP250 Truth Table Fig. 1 clearly shows the input LED side and the receiving photodetector as well

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

    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-side c

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

    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)
