NVIDIA teases the RTX 3090 design and confirms the new cooling system, 12-pin connector

-

 

NVIDIA is going to hold a big event next week and the company has just unveiled the new line of graphics cards RTX 3090, along with confirming the new cooling system and 12-pin connector.

In a newly released video, NVIDIA engineers and designers talk about the changes in the new Ampere-based series of GeForce cards. At the end of the video, the company also reveals the first supposed designs of the RTX 3090 graphics card. These images match the previously leaked images that are believed to be of the RTX 3090 that will have an additional shield. cool new. This new design will provide better airflow and better heat dissipation and cooling.

Part of this new cooling solution and shield will likely also provide changed connection pins. Leaks indicate that NVIDIA will switch to a 12-pin connector and NVIDIA has confirmed this as well. The 12-pin connection is smaller than the traditional 2-pin 8-pin connection, and NVIDIA will have to come with an adapter when it comes to the next generation of cards to be compatible with the 8-pin cables. NVIDIA's opting to use a 12-pin connection adds board space to add cooling components, but it's unclear if third-party board makers will use a 12-pin connection. .

In the video NVIDIA also mentions a new thin-leaf design that gives more space to the back of the card, while also increasing the rigidity of the overall structure. This will be very important because according to the leaked image, the RTX 3090 card will occupy 3 slots and will have 24GB GDD6X memory. Currently, this is expected to be the strongest card line today and the price is expected to be more than 1,000 USD and about 1,400 USD.

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...

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-si...

Low-Side MOSFET Drive Circuits and Techniques - 7 Practical Circuits

-
Image
In many circuits, it is necessary to use MOSFETs for switching. In many cases, the MOSFET drive signals are generated by microcontrollers. In other cases, they are generated by ICs – PWM controllers, timers or any IC in fact. However, MOSFETs cannot always just be connected to the drive signal and be expected to work properly. Due to the construction of the MOSFET, driving it is not the simplest of tasks, especially for beginners. There are many users who regularly ask for help on MOSFET drive related issues or problems on different blogs, websites and forums. So, here I will show some MOSFET drive techniques/methods for MOSFETs configured as low-side switches. Before I head on to MOSFET drive, let me just tell you what a low-side switch is, in case you don't know. When the MOSFET (that you're using as a switch) sinks current, it is a low-side switch. The load will be between the drain and +V supply. The source will be connected to ground. Gate will be driven with respect to gr...
