Over Current Trip Switch – Over Current Shutdown Relay

The project presented here is an over-current trip switch. It provides protection to a load when over current condition occurs. Basically, the project trips the relay when there is a short circuit or the load starts drawing much current. When the condition is favorable, press the tactile switch to power the load again. The threshold voltage of the comparator is 0.6V, the over-current limit can be adjusted using the trimmer Potentiometer PR1. Operating supply 12V DC @ 80mA when the relay is ON, load supply 0V to 48V.

The project is built using INA202 chip from Texas Instruments. The INA202 chip includes the high-side current-shunt monitor with voltage output and an integrated comparator. The device measures current through the shunt resistor R1 with current flowing in one direction that enables detection of an overcurrent event only when the differential input voltage exceeds the threshold limit. When the current reaches the set limit of the divider R7/ PR1, the output of CMPOUT transitions high, which turns Q1 on, pulls the base of the BJT transistor Q2 low which then switches OFF the relay, and turns the flow of the current OFF through relay contacts.

Trip Current Threshold

Trip current is adjustable from 250mA to 3A, PR1 trimmer potentiometer is provided to adjust the trip current, and load supply range is from 0 to 48V.

This project can be used for higher current trip and higher Voltage load with a few changes. Please refer to Datasheet for more details.

  • Shunt Resistor R1 (Choose a lower value for higher current Trip), Maximum range 30A (Due to Relay Contacts Limit of 30A)
  • R7 and PR1/Optional R13 Resistor Divider (Trip Voltage Threshold), Internal Reference Threshold 0.6V
  • For Higher voltage up to 80V, Choose Capacitor C1 and C2 100V
Note: Single Supply operation is possible, if the load supply is 12V DC, tie VDD Pin to +DC for single Supply.

Mono 2W – Switch-Mode (Class D) Audio Power Amplifier

This is a compact size, mono, switch-mode (Class-D) audio power amplifier intended for multimedia and general-purpose high-power applications. It has greater than 87% efficiency and is capable of delivering 2W maximum continuous power to a 4Ω load. The project is designed to be driven by the line-out or headphone jack of a CD/MP3 player or to be directly connected to any audio source. The project includes header connectors for speakers, power supply, and audio input for quick connection. The project also has 3x jumpers for frequency selection and shutdown action. The project is built using the MAX4295 chip.

Undervoltage Lockout

At low supply voltages, the MOSFETs in the H-bridge may have inadequate gate drive thus dissipating excessive power. The Undervoltage lockout circuit prevents the device from operating at supply voltages below +2.2Vdc.

Low-Power Shutdown Mode (Jumper J3 for Shutdown)

The MAX4295 has a shutdown mode that reduces power consumption and extends battery life. Driving SHDN low disables the H-bridge, turns off the circuit, and places the MAX4295 in a low-power shutdown mode. Connect SHDN to VCC using jumper 3 for normal operation.

Frequency Selection (Jumper J1 and J2 For Frequency Selection)

The MAX4295 has an internal logic-programmable oscillator controlled by FS1 and FS2 (see table below). The oscillator can be programmed to frequencies of 125kHz, 250kHz, 500kHz, and 1MHz. The working frequency should be chosen to best fit the user application. As a rule of thumb, choose fOSC to be 10x times the audio bandwidth. A lower switching frequency offers higher amplifier efficiency and lower THD but requires larger external filter components. A higher switching frequency reduces the size and cost of the filter components at the expense of THD and efficiency. In most applications, the optimal fOSC is 250kHz.

Connections and Other Details

  • CN1: Pin 1 and Pin 2 = VCC, Pin and Pin 4 = GND (VCC Supply 2.7V to 5.5V DC)
  • LS1: Pin 1 and Pin 2 = Speaker 1, Pin 3 and Pin 4 = Speaker 2
  • CN2: Pin 2 Audio Signal Input, Pin 1 GND
  • Jumpers J1 and J2: Frequency select pins FS1 and FS2. See Table for the shunt positions.
  • Jumper J3: Shutdown selection, GND= Shutdown
  • D1: Power LED

  • 7W/Channel Output Power at 3V
  • 87% Efficiency (RL = 4Ω, POUT = 2W)
  • Programmable PWM Oscillator Frequency Selection (125kHz, 250kHz, 500kHz, 1MHz)
  • Low 0.4% THD+N (RL = 4Ω, fIN = 1kHz, fOSC = 250kHz)
  • Low-Power Shutdown Mode
  • 1A Current Limit and Thermal Protection
  • Click fewer Transitions into and Out of Shutdown
  • PCB Dimensions 31.59 x 28.42 mm

The MAX4295 switch-mode, Class D audio power amplifier is intended for portable multimedia and general-purpose audio applications. Linear amplifiers in the 1W to 2W output range are inefficient; they overheat when operated near rated output power levels. The efficiency of linear amplifiers is <50% when the output voltage is equal to 1/2 the supply. The MAX4295 Class D amplifier achieves efficiencies of 87% or greater and is capable of delivering up to 2W of continuous maximum power to a 4Ω load. The lost power is due mainly to the on-resistance of the power switches and ripple current in the output.  In a Class D amplifier, a PWM controller converts the analog input to a variable pulse-width signal. The pulse width is proportional to the input voltage, ideally 0% for a 0V input signal and 100% for full-scale input voltages. A passive lowpass LC network filter the PWM output waveform to reconstruct the analog signal. The switching frequency is selected much higher than the maximum input frequencies so that intermodulation products are outside the input signal bandwidth. Higher switching frequencies also simplify the filtering requirements. The MAX4295 consists of an inverting input operational amplifier, a PWM ramp oscillator, a controller that converts the analog input to a variable pulse-width signal, and a MOSFET H-bridge power stage. The control signal is generated by the PWM comparator; its pulse width is proportional to the input voltage. Ideally the pulse width varies linearly between 0% for a 0V input signal and 100% for full-scale input voltages. This signal controls the H-bridge. The switches work in pairs to reverse the polarity of the signal in the load. Break-before-make switching of the H-bridge MOSFETs by the driver circuit keeps supply current glitches and crowbar current in the MOSFETs at a low level. The output swing of the H-bridge is a direct function of the supply voltage. Varying the oscillator swing in proportion to the supply voltage maintains constant gain with varying supply voltage. FS1 and FS2 program the oscillator to a frequency of 125kHz, 250kHz, 500kHz, and 1MHz. The sawtooth oscillator swings between GND and 0.6 x VCC. The input signal is typically AC-coupled to the internal input op-amp, whose gain can be controlled through external feedback components. The common-mode voltage of the input amplifier is 0.3 x VCC and is internally generated from the same resistive divider used to generate the 0.6 x VCC reference for the PWM oscillator.

4 Channel High-Speed – Robust-EMC Reinforced Digital Isolators

The project described here is a high-performance, quad-channel digital isolator with a 5000VRMS isolation rating as per UL1577. The ISO7740 IC provides high electromagnetic immunity and low emissions at low power consumption while isolating CMOS or LVCMOS digital I/O s. Each isolation channel has a logic input and output buffer separated by a double capacitive silicon dioxide (SiO2) insulation barrier. The project comes with enable pins that can be used to put the respective outputs in high impedance for multi-master driving applications and to reduce power consumption. The project is based on the ISO7740 chip that has all four channels in the same direction. If the input power or signal is lost, the output becomes high by default.

Used in conjunction with isolated power supplies, this project helps reduce noise currents on data buses, such as RS-485, RS-232, and CAN, or other interfaces, from entering the local ground and interfering with or damaging sensitive circuitry. Through innovative chip design and layout techniques, electromagnetic compatibility of the ISO7740 device has been significantly enhanced to ease system-level ESD, EFT, surge, and emissions compliance.

Bluetooth based PIR motion detecting application using STM32 board

Posted on by mixos

1. Introduction

In this project, we will use a PIR sensor to detect motion. Once motion is detected, it will trigger an interrupt and the BleuIO dongle connected to the board will advertise for 25 seconds. You can expand the project based on your needs further.

A PIR (passive infrared) Sensor is an electronic device that detects heat from a human or animal body, giving a detection signal when movement happens in a given area or range of the sensor.

For this project, we will need one dongle and a PIR sensor (for example https://www.digikey.com/short/4v12z2nw).
When the BleuIO Dongle is connected to the Nucleo board USB port the STM32 will recognize it and set up a new device name for the dongle: BleuIO PIR Detected. This will show up when the dongle is advertising.

2. Using the example project

2.1 What we will need

3. How to setup project

3.1 Downloading the project from GitHub

Get project HERE

URL: https://github.com/smart-sensor-devices-ab/stm32_bleuio_pir_example

Either clone the project or download it as a zip file and unzip it, into your STM32CubeIDE workspace.

3.2 Importing as an Existing Project

  • From STM32CubeIDE choose File>Import…

  • Then choose General>Existing Projects into Workspace then click ‘Next >’

  • Make sure you’ve chosen your workspace in ‘Select root directory:’
  • You should see the project “stm32_bleuio_pir_example”, check it, and click ‘Finish’.

If you download the project as a zip file you will need to rename the project folder from ‘stm32_bleuio_pir_example-master’ to ‘stm32_bleuio_pir_example’

4. Connecting the sensor

Connect the PIR Sensor Gnd to ground and Vdd to power and Output to a pin of your choice on the Nucleo board (In the example we use PA0)

If you want a different PIN you will need to go into the STM32Cube ioc file and make some edits:

  • Click on PA0 and select Reset_State in the STM32Cube ioc file.
  • Click on your desired Pin and select EXTIO

  • Then go to GPIO under System Core and make sure you set up the pin as follows:

    GPIO mode: External Interrupt Mode with Rising edge trigger detection

    GPIO Pull-up/Pull-down: Pull-down

  • Then go to NVIC under System Core and make sure EXTI line0 interrupt is enabled

5. Running the example

  • In STMCubeIDE click the hammer icon to build the project.
  • Open up the ‘STMicroelectronics STLink Viritual COM Port’ with a serial terminal emulation program like TeraTerm, Putty or CoolTerm.
Baudrate: 115200
Data Bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop Bits: 1
Flow Control: None
  • In STMCubeIDE click the green play button to flash and run it on your board. The first time you click it the ‘Run Configuration’ window will appear. You can just leave it as is and click run.
  • Connect the BleuIO Dongle.

6. Output

When the PIR sensor detects movement it will trigger an interrupt that will tell the BleuIO Dongle to advertise for 25 seconds. Just so the PIR Sensor will not trigger constantly we have put a 20-second timeout before it will start again. If no new interrupts have been detected after the 25-second advertising timer has run out the BleuIO Dongle will stop advertising and wait for a new interrupt to happen.

The yellow LED on the STM32 board also toggles if there is a movement.

I hope you found this article informative.

Demo platform enables study of micro-energy harvesting apps

Posted on by mixos

Trameto, a manufacturer of power management semiconductors for energy harvesting (EH PMICs) announces a demonstration platform that enables engineers to quickly evaluate how micro-energy harvesting can reduce or eliminate the use of batteries in IoT devices such as sensors and the wireless modules to which they may be connected.

It is based on Trameto’s OptiJoule technology and uses an engineering sample of the TM2040, a four-input, smart EH PMIC from the product family. Up to four harvesters of the same or mixed types can be connected to any of its inputs without additional interface components, providing the simplest, most effective, and most economical way to cut battery dependency in wireless IoT applications.

The demonstration platform includes two photovoltaic harvesters, a piezoelectric harvester with a DC motor to generate vibration for it, two thermoelectric generators, and a heater and heatsinks to provide a stimulus for the thermoelectric generators. Each harvester produces microjoules to millijoules of energy and easily connects to the main platform using plugin daughterboards.

Uniquely, each of the TM2040’s inputs will adapt autonomously to the type of harvester connected to it. The chip then optimizes each harvester’s output using patented circuits that also dynamically combine the maximum available energy from all of the connected harvesters. The optimized output delivers a controlled charge to an energy-storage component which is then automatically switched via the EH PMIC to power an IoT device with a 1.8V DC, regulated supply at up to 15mA.

The demonstration platform comes complete with a Windows application to display harvested power and TM2040 status information from the platform via a simple graphical user interface.

Huw Davies, CEO of Trameto, commented:

“Energy harvesting can only be economically realized for IoT applications if every available source of energy can be exploited. The TM2040 OptiJoule EH PMIC is the only power management device able to do this economically, replacing up to four traditional PMICs and eliminating the cost and complexity of the interface components that are often needed for some energy harvesters. This demonstration platform provides the easiest way for engineers to explore the opportunities to power their devices using a range of energy harvesting technologies.”

The TM2040 demonstration platform is available from Trameto now and a user guide can be downloaded https://trameto.com/resources/.

A single-input version of the autonomously adaptable PMIC is also available.

Eliminate the need for disposable batteries with an indoor light power

Posted on by mixos

Epishine has developed a solar cell optimized for indoor use. The light energy harvesting (LEH) modules are optimized to convert light from indoor lighting into enough energy to power small electronic devices.

The LEH module is only 0.2mm thick, making it straightforward to fit into different devices without adding thickness to it. The module also fits on curved surfaces with a bending radius of 10mm.

The module can be connected more or less directly to the application for applications that only require to be powered when there is light, like an access card or a thermometer.

In applications where power is needed, even when there is no light available or if the momentary power required is more than the LEH module can deliver, an energy storage solution like a small super cap or rechargeable battery can be implemented. The LEH module charges the energy storage when light is available, and the storage solution power the application when needed.

Examples of applications built in this way are sensors that communicate wirelessly, including temperature and humidity sensors or fire detectors.

Its standard sizes of cells have an active area of 50mm by 20, 30 or 50mm.

Video

Its LEH3 modules mainly comprise PET based on hydrocarbons and are non-toxic to the environment. It is usually the batteries that have the greatest Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) impact in this type of electronics. Most energy harvesting applications require a small energy storage as part of the power solution, but when you can change from a battery that stores energy for several years (with no energy harvesting) to something that stores some days of energy, the LCA calculation is significantly improved.

from SparkFun.com product description:

The SparkFun IoT RedBoard is an ESP32 Development Board that includes everything but the kitchen sink! Espressif’s ESP32 WROOM is a powerful WiFi and Bluetooth® MCU module that targets a wide variety of applications. At the core of this module is the ESP32-D0WDQ6 chip which is designed to be both scalable and adaptive. The IoT RedBoard can target a wide variety of applications, ranging from low-power sensor networks to the most demanding tasks, such as voice encoding, music streaming, and MP3 decoding. The IoT ReadBoard also utilizes our handy Qwiic Connect System which means no soldering or shields are required to connect it to the rest of your system!

The USB-to-serial is achieved with a USB-C connector with through hole anchoring and the ubiquitous CH340G requiring fewer driver installs. We’ve included 3.3V voltage translation and a Qwiic connector to the edge of the board to allow for quick and seamless connection to our ever-growing line of I2C based Qwiic products. The board even includes a microSD socket if your application requires you to log and save data to a memory card.

The operating system is freeRTOS with LwIP; TLS 1.2 with hardware acceleration is built in as well. Secure (encrypted) over the air (OTA) upgrade is also supported, so that users can upgrade their products even after their release, at minimum cost and effort.
