TI Launches Industry's Smallest Gate Driver for Motor Control
Published2017.05.24 17:05Double the power density of motor drives in confined spaces.
Texas Instruments (TI) announced the introduction of two new device families that help reduce design space and burden in motor drive applications.
Designs with the new BLDC (DRV832x) gate drivers and CSD88584/99 NexFET™ power blocks require only 511mm2 of board space, half that of competing solutions.
The DRV832x BLDC gate drivers utilize a smart gate drive architecture that reduces up to 24 components required to configure conventional gate drive currents, enabling developers to easily optimize power loss and electromagnetic compliance through field-effect transistor (FET) switching configuration.
The CSD88584Q5DC and CSD88599Q5DC power blocks utilize two FETs in a proprietary stacked-die configuration, doubling power density and minimizing FET resistance and parasitic inductance typically found in parallel configurations.
The 18-Volt BLDC Motor Reference Design demonstrates how the DRV8323 gate driver and CSD88584Q5DC power block can drive 11W/cm3 of power, enabling developers to quickly start designing smaller and lighter power tools, integrated motor modules, drones, and more.

Are you worried about IoT usage and security?
As the Internet of Things (IoT) has become activated, most devices in our surroundings are now connected to the internet. Any and all devices connected to the internet can be subject to local or remote attacks. Attackers can compromise connected devices to steal corporate intellectual property stored in systems, gain access to user data, or maliciously manipulate systems to cause harm to users. Security threats in IoT are a critical issue. We hold several misconceptions about how to address them. As evidenced by the massive distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack that occurred at the end of last year, which experts have called the largest in history, even seemingly innocuous products such as home digital video recorders (DVRs) can be maliciously compromised and used as "botnets" to disrupt the operations of third-party entities. Last year's attack impacted services such as Twitter and PayPal, but similar attacks could be directed at large-scale smart infrastructure technologies such as power grid systems. According to a 2016 survey conducted by Kaspersky Lab, some enterprises and organizations have spent over 1.6 million dollars to address a single DDoS attack.

TI Launches Single-Chip Millimeter-Wave Sensor Portfolio Featuring Five Solutions
TI Korea announced the launch of a millimeter-wave (mmWave) single-chip CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) sensor portfolio that enables a new dimension of precision and intelligence for automotive, factory and building automation, and medical applications. The product consists of five solutions comprising two 76-81GHz sensor product families and supports an end-to-end development platform. The AWR1x and IWR1x sensor portfolios are currently available for sampling and enable sensing precision up to three times finer than other millimeter-wave solutions currently on the market. Developers can implement intelligent non-contact sensing solutions in their systems by combining analog design techniques and digital signal processing. The millimeter-wave sensor portfolio offers fully integrated CMOS single-chip solutions using digital signal processors (DSP) and microcontrollers (MCU), as well as single-chip products with only MCU or DSP integrated. Each chip provides range resolution below 4cm, range accuracy reaching below 50㎛, and sensing solutions up to a maximum of 300m. This broad portfolio enables developers to select solutions tailored to their needs and reduces board space and power consumption by up to 50%.

Power Scaling, Sequencing, and Analog Implementation
전원 시퀀싱은 모든 설계의 필수적인 부분이다. 특히 여러 전원 레일을 활용하는 복잡한 시스템에서는 더욱 중요하다. FPGA, ASIC, PLD, DSP, ADC, 마이크로컨트롤러와 같은 현대의 고성능 프로세싱 디바이스에는 코어, 메모리, I/O와 같은 내부 회로에 전원을 공급하기 위한 여러 전압레일이 있어야 한다. 안정적으로 작동하고 더 높은 효율을 내기 위해서는 특수한 전압 레일 전력 업/다운 시퀀싱이 필요하다. 전압 및 전력 스케일링 기술은 소형의 고밀도 집적 회로에 매우 강력하고 다양한 기능의 전원 관리 시스템을 구현해 전력 손실을 줄이고 디바이스 온도를 최적화하여 시스템의 고성능을 유지한다. AVSO(Adaptive voltage-scaling optimization)는 전압 스케일링 구현 기술 중 하나이다. AVSO 구현에는 디지털 또는 아날로그 방식 등 다양한 방법이 있다. 가장 많이 이용되는 방식은 PMBus 또는 I2C 인터페이스를 사용하는 것으로 초기 전원 전압을 프로그램하여 적절한 정확도로 ASIC, FPGA 또는 마이크로 프로세서를 작동시킬 수 있다. 프로세서는 부트-업(boot-up) 시퀀스를 완료하면 PMBus 또는 I2C 명령 세트를 통해 전압 레귤레이터와 통신한다. 이러한 통신은 레귤레이터에게 호스트의 성능 요구에 맞추어 출력 전압 레벨을 조절하도록 명령하는 데 있다. 가장 잘 알려진 표준 명령은 VOUT_COMMAND와 VOUT_MARGIN이다. 상호간 데이터 교환을 원활하게 하기 위해 호스트와 전압 레귤레이터는 모두 동일한 디지털 통신 프로토콜을 구현할 필요가 있다.
