Audi reveals new e-tron GT

-

Audi has revealed the prototype for a new member of its e-tron electric car family, the e-tron GT, writes Brian Byrne.

With a power output of nearly 700ps, the coupe features two electric motors, air suspension, 4-wheel steering, and the ability to recharge 100km in five minutes at a suitable charging outlet. An intriguing feature is, when the car is getting close to a chosen charging station, the system begins cooling the battery so that it is ready for optimum charging.

The production version will be released next year, with a guide price in Germany of €143,000. The company says the car will be available in all key markets.

The Audi e-tron GT is being built at Audi Böllinger Höfe at Neckarsulm on the same line as the Audi R8.

HOW TO USE BUS IN PROTEUS

-
You're already familiar with Proteus and its usage . It's really interesting to simulate your circuit before hardware implementation because it's just a matter of few clicks here and there before you can see the output. Sometimes there are too many connections in your circuit which kind of looks ugly. This article is about using BUS WIRE in Proteus which saves you some space in the design area and the circuit also looks presentable rather than a mess of connections. READ MORE

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...
