ARMÂŽ Architecture Fuels Deep Ecosystem for Next-Generation Embedded Systems Design By Jim Carver, Director Technology, Tech Marketing, Avnet Electronics Marketing Electronics systems manufacturers face a growing challenge in meeting specialized market requirements across an expanding range of embedded applications. In the past, systems design companies struggling to address disparate application requirements found themselves driven to correspondingly disparate processor architectures, each with their own development tools and resources. Today, however, engineers can find an extensive array of specialized processors â&#x20AC;&#x201D; each designed with features tuned to specific application areas, yet all building on a common processor core from the ARMÂŽ family.

With its broad support for silicon, software and systems vendors, the ARM architecture lies at the heart of the industry’s richest, most broadly supported software and silicon ecosystem. Underlying this ecosystem, the ARM architecture ties together processor cores, memory and other system and peripheral IP — all intercommunicating through the standard ARM Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture (AMBA®). ARM’s processor IP cores build on the classic RISC architecture with a broad array of specialized types created to serve specific application areas including embedded and general-purpose computing — each core type emphasizing different combinations of key operating characteristics and low power, high performance and dedicated hardware functionality. Since the ARM6 core introduced in the early 1990s, ARM has enhanced the flexibility for incorporating ARM cores with the introduction of synthesizable cores in the late 1990s. With the introduction of the Cortex® family of cores in the mid 2000s, ARM delivered a range of cores able to support the broadest range of applications (Figure 1).

Figure 1. The ARM Cortex family targets diverse application areas with specialized series such as the Cortex-A series (left), Cortex-R series (middle) and Cortex-M series (right). Source: ARM ARM Cortex-A series processors are designed to execute complex operating systems such as Linux, Android and Microsoft Windows, integrating a memory management unit (MMU) designed to address OS memory requirements. ARM Cortex-R series embedded real-time processors are designed to deliver highly deterministic real-time behavior in a wide range of power sensitive applications. In many applications, these processors run a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) alongside user-developed code. In this class of applications, the target design typically requires only a Memory Protection Unit (MPU) as opposed to the MMU available in Cortex-A series cores.

At the heart of TrustZone, each physical processor core provides two virtual cores that isolate secure from non-secure operations, using a special monitor mode to safely time-slice operations between the two virtual cores to ensure the protection of privileged operations while maintaining required performance levels (Figure 2).

ARM Cortex-M series processors are optimized for deeply embedded designs that require the lowest possible power consumption, typically operating with application firmware to support the very specific requirements of the targeted embedded application. ARM builds on the Cortex-M series architecture to provide specialized solutions such as the ARM SecurCore™ processor family, which includes dedicated hardware security features tuned to support secure embedded applications such as smartcards. In addition, ARM’s TrustZone® architecture builds on the Cortex-A series processors to provide hardware security extensions capable of supporting a trusted execution environment for secure applications and services.

Figure 2. ARM TrustZone augments Cortex-A series cores with security extensions that ensure isolation of secure operations from non-secure operations in virtual processor environments managed by a unique monitor mode in the physical core. Source: ARM

Design Advantages For systems manufacturers, this broad range of specialized cores enables systems designers to more easily address the varied requirements of individual subsystems in complex designs. For example, mobile computing system designers can draw on the unique capabilities of each member of the ARM family â&#x20AC;&#x201D; dramatically simplifying development thanks to the use of a consistent instruction-set architecture across the multi-processor design (Figure 3). At the same time, the same members of the ARM family can serve in widely different applications such as smart meters (Figure 4).

Figure 3. An optimized mobile computing system design takes advantages of specialized functionality and performance of different member of the ARM family for example, resulting in an overall design that enjoys the development advantages of a single instructionset architecture without compromising requirements of individual subsystems.

08 AXIOM

For IC manufacturers, the combination of ARM specifications, design resources and extensive ecosystems of IP and tools enables chip designers to focus on their unique value-add, sourcing supporting IP and tools from other ARM partners. ARM IP licensees combine specialized ARM processor cores with their own unique combinations of cores for DSP, video processing and peripherals configured for specific application requirements. Tying the IP together, AMBA provides a standard interface specification that ensures compatibility between IP components from different design teams or vendors. AMBA encompasses a number of specifications such as AMBA ACE™ for sharing data, AMBA AXI4™ for multiple master architectures and ARM CHI for ensuring efficient operation in complex architectures. In aggregate, the ARM specifications help simplify IP integration, speeding complex design projects. For IC manufacturers, ARM ties the various elements of an ARMbased chip design together in resources such as ARM System Design Kits (SDK) designed to shorten the learning curve needed to design ICs with the ARM architecture and reduce time to market for those ICs. For example, the Cortex-M SDK (CMSDK) includes reusable IP, hardware design examples and software examples designed to help designers quickly develop complex SoC designs.

ARM-based Solutions Together, the combination of high-performance core IP, system IP, third-party IP and specifications provides a very rich source for silicon manufacturers to create ARM-based SoCs for diverse application areas. Indeed, nearly 100 leading IC manufacturers have leveraged the ARM ecosystem to create processor families targeting key application areas. As a result, systems designers can choose from an extensive range of MCUs that combines different ARM cores with peripherals to serve specific markets. Among other ARM-based MCUs, designers can find multiple product families such as the following: •

Atmel® SAM family of embedded processors features a wide range of offerings ranging from Cortex-A series families designed for cost-sensitive applications to flash MCUs based on Cortex-M series cores.

•

Freescale Semiconductor’s i.MX family builds on ARM A series cores and other ARM cores to address embedded smart devices for consumer, automotive and industrial markets; its Kinetis line based on Cortex-M series cores address a wide range of energyefficient embedded design requirements; and its QorIQ family combines Cortex-A series cores with dedicated communications and security IP for next-generation networking systems designs.

•

STMicroelectronics bases its broad STM32 family of 32-bit flash MCUs on ARM cores with a number of families designed to meet specific requirements for performance and functionality — ranging from its entry-level STM32 F0 series based on the ARM Cortex-M0 to ARM Cortex-M4-based high-performance STM32 F4 MCUs with DSP and FPU functionality.

•

Texas Instruments addresses different application markets with an extensive set of ARM-based MCU families such as its Tiva™ family for increased connectivity integration, Sitara™ family for embedded designs, DaVinci™ family for video applications, Hercules™ series for safety applications in medical and industrial markets, and OMAP™ platform for multimedia-rich mobile applications.

•

The Zynq®-7000 All Programmable SoC from Xilinx offers designers the unmatched performance of a dual core processing subsystem based on the Cortex-A9 running up to 1 GHz, paired with a programmable logic subsystem containing block

memory, DSP blocks and high-performance interconnect. This processor subsystem includes a DDR3 memory controller, dual 10/100/1000 Ethernet MACs along with a full complement of standard peripherals offering engineers the best of both hard and soft logic functionality. •

ARM cores form the centerpiece in advanced FPGA SoCs that combine an ARM processor core with an FPGA fabric and specialized peripheral blocks. For example:

•

The Microsemi SmartFusion™2 offers a unique combination of ARM-based MCU for high-performance software execution, DSP blocks for specialized computing and flash-based FPGA fabric for implementation of speed-critical algorithms. Along with on-chip SRAM, memory controllers, communications peripherals, the Microsemi FPGA SoC includes specialized security features including security-processing accelerators and secure storage needed in critical applications in industrial, military, aviation, communications and medical segments.

EMBEDDED MARKETPLACE BRINGING DEVELOPERS AND SOFTWARE VENDORS TOGETHER WITH SOLUTIONS THAT SUPPORT ARM ARCHITECTURE Working across the broad ARM hardware base, software in the ARM ecosystem spans the complete range of application development requirements. Engineers can find support for ARMbased development in familiar IDEs and draw on an extensive array of hardware development tools including emulators, logic analyzers, evaluation boards and reference designs for ARM-based design. Along with development tools, the ARM ecosystem encompasses a broad range of software offerings including low-level software such as from BIOS, device drivers and board support packages as well as high-level systems software including RTOS, hypervisors and Java virtual machines. Available middleware offerings address a broad range of applications with libraries including audio and voice software, communications protocols, database, power management, security and video codecs, among others. At the application level, third-party software packages target specific requirements including applications in automotive, communications, consumer and industrial. ARM partners also provide a wide variety of training options for companies and individual engineers looking to explore more specific ARM-based solutions.

Conclusions The unique combination of standard processor core architectures and specification provides a rich environment for development of ARM-based design solutions and tools that continually expand the extensive ARM ecosystem of ICs, systems and software. As a result, designers can find ARM-based MCUs, tools and software able to meet an increasingly diverse set of market requirements.

SAM D20 Family Brings the Best of MCUs to Cortex®-M0+ Devices em.avnet.com/axiom_atlsamd20 PROBLEM SOLUTION

• With developers demanding more computational power than ever before the Cortex®-M0+ market is rapidly growing. • Atmel recently launched the SAM D20, based on the Cortex ®-M0+. This family expands Atmel’s already formidable ARM®-based portfolio as it joins the Cortex-M3, Cortex-M4 and Cortex-A5. • This new microcontroller series combines the performance and energy efficiency of an ARM Cortex-M0+ based MCU with an optimized architecture and peripheral set, offering a truly differentiated general-purpose lineup that is ideal for a wide range of low-power, cost-sensitive devices, including GPS trackers, appliance controllers, intelligent remotes and optical transceivers. • Notable power-saving techniques include an event system that allows peripherals to communicate directly with each other without involving the CPU, while SleepWalking peripherals wake up the CPU only upon a pre-qualified event, thereby reducing overall power consumption. • In terms of peripheral flexibility, a serial communication module (SERCOM) is fully software configurable to handle I2C, USART/UART and SPI communications. With multiple SERCOM modules on a device, designers can precisely tailor the peripheral mix to their applications. • The SAM D20’s QTouch® Peripheral Touch Controller offers integrated hardware support for buttons, sliders, wheels and proximity. It also supports both mutual and self-capacitive touch (without the need for external components), while providing noise tolerance and self-calibration. • Additional key hardware specs include a high-precision, 12-bit 350 ksps ADC and a 10-bit DAC, allowing switching between external and internal oscillators on the fly. There are eight 16-bit timer/counters; a 32-bit real time clock and calendar; 48 MHz operation (1.77 CoreMark/MHz), single-cycle IO access; and six serial communication modules (SERCOM) that can be configured to act as a USART, UART, SPI or I2C.

Kinetis® KL02 Microcontroller Family em.avnet.com/axiom_frskinetis PROBLEM

• L ow price point and ease-of-use requirements are critical for entry-level designs that are frequently a barrier to developers considering 32-bit microcontroller (MCU) solutions.

SOLUTION

• The Kinetis KL02 family of 32-bit MCUs offers a new level of processing performance and energy efficiency for a range of applications and helping expand the Internet of Things (IoT). • Applications may include portable consumer devices, sensing nodes, wearable devices and even ingestible healthcare sensing. As more of these products add intelligence and become part of the IoT ecosystem, designers need to maintain a small footprint, in terms of size and power consumption, while also delivering a level of connectivity users have come to expect from more traditional connected devices, such as tablets and smartphones. • The tiny KL02 devices have a small appetite for power – six times more efficient than a leading competitor – making them ideal for ultra-small-form-factor and battery-powered products. • Kinetis L series MCUs are powered by a 32-bit ARM® Cortex®-M0+ processor, for which Freescale was a lead partner in definition and development. The Kinetis KL02 MCU family builds upon the energy efficiency of the Cortex-M0+ core and reduces the power consumption of the Kinetis L series to an even lower entry point. • The ultra-efficient KL02 family delivers 15.9 CM/mA and, like the other Kinetis MCUs, includes autonomous, powersmart peripherals – an ADC, UART and timer, 10 flexible power modes and wide clock and power gating to minimize power loss. • A low-power boot mode reduces power spikes during the boot sequence or deep-sleep wakeup. This is useful for systems where battery chemistry limits the allowable peak current, such as those employing lithium-ion batteries frequently used in portable devices. • The Kinetis KL02 family is supported by the FRDM-KL02Z Freescale Freedom development platform and Processor Expert software including an MQX™ Lite RTOS component, along with third-party development resources from the extensive ARM ecosystem.

C8051F85x/6x Microcontroller Family em.avnet.com/axiom_sllmcu PROBLEM

• Motor control and other sensor based applications are driven by cost, device size, performance and ease of use.

SOLUTION

• T he C8051F85x/6x from Silicon Labs has a 25 MHz CPU that is 50% faster than other competing solutions. The CPU supports a highly-efficient enhanced 8051 pipelined architecture, allowing it to perform 70% of instructions in 1-2 system clock cycles. Additional interrupt priorities enable fast interrupt handling for real-time applications. • H igh-performance analog capabilities include a 12-bit multi-channel analog-to-digital converter (up to 16 ADC channels available), two analog comparators with programmable hysteresis and response time, a precision internal voltage reference and a temperature sensor. • S mall package size, high level of integration and patented crossbar architecture provide for an extremely efficient implementation. The high level of integration eliminates the need for several external components such as a crystal, temperature sensor, level shifters and ADCs, further reducing BOM cost and PCB footprint. The innovative crossbar technology allows developers to choose their desired peripherals and provides flexibility in determining the pin location of those peripherals thus simplifying the layout. • The easiest way to begin development with the C8051F85x/6x AEC-Q100 qualified, low-cost microcontroller family is with the fully functional C8051F850DK development kit. This comprehensive development kit is designed to give customers an out-of-box experience and comes with everything developers need to evaluate hardware and develop code. • Additionally, the TOOLSTK-860-B-SK is offered as a low cost alternative for quick evaluation. It allows designers to develop and debug application firmware directly on the target C8051F85x/6x MCU using the Silicon Labs Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The ToolStick Base Adapter provides a USB debug interface and data communications path between a Windows PC and a target microcontroller.

TREND

• Though use of 32-bit architectures is on the rise for many embedded applications, 8-bit solutions can offer smaller footprints, better cost and simplified development. It is important to understand the trade-offs with these options in considering the complete system solution. • Peripheral subsystems are most critical in many low end control applications. These will become more sophisticated (analog, timers) taking the performance burden off of the core MCU.

• T he secure boot of a system is a multi-part process and relies on a “Root-of-Trust” — a hardware device that is immutably trusted and can perform the early stages of the boot process. One of the functions it must provide is the ability to ensure the software that will run in the next highest level is valid BEFORE it is executed. For a fully valid system, code in the “n-1” phase must always perform this check before code in phase “n” is executed. (See Figure 1). • The SmartFusion®2 SoC FPGA provides the most advanced design and data security capabilities, starting with a robust root-of-trust device with secure key storage capability using the SoC FPGA industry’s only physically unclonable function (PUF) key enrolment and regeneration capability from Intrinsic ID. • SmartFusion2 is also the only SoC FPGA resistant to differential power analysis (DPA) attacks using technology from Cryptography Research Incorporated (CRI) portfolio. • Offering user access to a number of several encryption services such as AES-256 and SHA-256, this FPGA can also be used to store and compare the mechanism of validation. • The operation of the SmartFusion2 SoC FPGA for a secure boot process is only used at select times — typically at startup and then possibly by diagnostics in the event of a failure in the system. By using the device as the programmable logic element, you get the validation function included without the need for an additional component. • The FPGA integrates a non-volatile flash based FPGA with a full feature microcontroller subsystem, enhanced FPGA fabric and high speed serial and memory interfaces — making it ideal for logic functions that control the secure boot function. • The FPGA fabric is composed of 4-input LUT logic elements and includes embedded memories and mathblocks for DSP processing capabilities.

TREND

• The requirement for security in an embedded system is forever growing, but this need must be met while still meeting financial budgets. By using a SmartFusion2 SoC FPGA that is a hardware root-of-trust, it is possible to integrate the logic and secure boot functions into one device. This reduces the system component and real estate cost, and provides the secure boot function for free. SmartFusion2 devices are the only SoC FPGAs available that meet the requirements for a hardware root-of-trust.

By Chris Ammann, Global Technical Marketing Engineer, Avnet Electronics Marketing As FPGAs continue to become increasingly powerful, adequately powering these devices becomes even more critical to unlock their full potential, yet often times the power design is left until nearly the end of the design process. The trend of lower voltages relative to shrinking process geometries is prevalent. Some of today’s devices now run at voltage levels under 1V. Lower voltage requirements for FPGAs and processors create additional challenges, especially at higher currents, that require serious attention when designing the power architecture for a new platform. It’s important to think about and plan for a power system at the outset of the design. Supply placement, passive component selection and PCB design become even more critical as voltage drops across components and even PCB traces and planes can introduce substantial error into your system. It’s not uncommon for each FPGA family to consist of a wide range of products. The smallest FPGA may clock in at less than 100 MHz, and require less than 1 Amp of peak current for core logic, while the largest in the family may need 14 Amps or more for core logic clocked at 300 MHz. FPGAs with lower core voltage needs will require a large amount of current, which must be supplied with a low noise floor and a minimum amount of ripple voltage.

Why then isn’t power tackled immediately? FPGA-based board designers may not feel they have sufficient information. They face uncertainty, for example, about actual power requirements of the system since the gate-level design is usually not finalized before the hardware is generated. They also need to deal with dynamic load requirements, as load may move rapidly from an inactive, low current situation to a full processing state and the extent of these requirements may not be appreciated at the onset of design. Since FPGAs are more flexible than the power supply circuits that power them, it is beneficial to consider a worstcase power system at the beginning of the design process. Once the FPGA family is selected, and the core logic supply voltage is set, tools are in place to determine the current consumption of the core logic on the FPGA manufacturer’s website and maximum current estimates can be found in FPGA power applications guides. Power supply design challenges inherent in all designs boil down to cost, size, noise and efficiency, and the tradeoffs between the four. Power design is all about tradeoffs, there is no one golden solution for all applications. While industrial and medical markets typically

favor size over cost, wireless tends to favor low noise, handheld and battery applications usually prioritize efficiency, and in consumer apps cost tends to be king. A key part of the design process is to determine the voltage requirements needed and the current requirements of each voltage rail. Xilinx provides assistance by making available power estimation spreadsheets for estimating the power requirements of an FPGA device, based on the required functionality of the FPGA. It is important that designers access and use these spreadsheets to ensure the use of appropriate power-supply and thermalmanagement components. A variety of power supply manufacturers offer complete power solutions for Xilinx FPGAs and have resources available to aid in device selection. Avnet has worked with several power supply manufacturers to create a series of paper designs for different 7 Series and Zynq devices. These designs were created around realistic power budgets and are intended to provide a starting point for the overall power architecture selection of your system. The Avnet Power Solutions Video Series is an educational resource available to guide designers through the power-system maze. Covering such topics as power supply testing, component selection, technology overviews and more, the series is a collection of valuable tutorials designed to let you ramp up your designs rapidly. FPGA development boards from Xilinx are designed with digitally controlled power supplies that make regulation adjustments to ensure supply voltages are within spec. The Mini Module Plus development system from Avnet uses a modular power supply that is available from multiple manufacturers. Remote voltage sensing is used on these power modules to achieve greater regulation accuracy at the load. Comprised of a modular MMP baseboard that supports an MMP FPGA/SoC module, an MMP power supply module, and a Low-Pin-Count (LPC) FPGA Mezzanine Card (FMC), the Mini Module Plus system provides flexibility for FPGA/SoC evaluation and prototyping. Each MMP component is sold separately so that designers can configure their Mini-Module Plus System to meet their particular prototyping needs. At the same time, a path exists for easy upgrading or migration through the replacement of the MMP FPGA or SoC module, while keeping the same MMP baseboard and MMP power module.

The Avnet Power modules are available from several manufacturers. Each partner designed their board to meet a common set of design requirements, making them interchangeable to the user. Providing solutions from multiple partners allows the customer to choose their preferred vendor, as well as choosing the design implementation they feel most comfortable with. Since the intent was to have these power modules work with a variety of boards, the first step was creating a worst case power budget that could support all of our development board needs. After defining the system, the following table was created to represent the worst case current draw for each required rail. Voltage (V)

Figure 4. MMP Power Module requriements table The table defines not only the voltages, currents and voltage banks they power, but also the overall tolerance the supplies needed to be designed to. With tolerance requirements down a low as 2.5%, extra design measures were needed to ensure regulation accuracy. In an ideal design scenario, the power supplies would be placed right next to the load they supply, however in our system architecture that placement was not feasible. As a result, remote sense capability was added, which senses the voltage at your load and makes regulation adjustments to maintain your set point. Remote sense is not trivial and adds its own set of unique challenges, but is one tool available to designers when optimal supply placement isn’t available. Design files are available for each power module as well so that these designs can be reproduced in customer applications.

As the HFE series is plug in, the user has to either design a back plane or utilize a full 19” enclosure, which takes up system space. • In addition, many 19” racks are not configurable to support different output voltages.

SOLUTION

• TDK-Lambda introduced the RFE1600 series of stand-alone AC-DC 1600 W power supplies, available with output voltages of 12, 24, 32 and 48 V. • These power supplies are based on the rack mounted HFE, but in place of the connector, the RFE has bus bars and terminal blocks for the output and input connectors, allowing regular cable harnesses to be used.

TREND

• Bulky standalone industrial power supplies are now being replaced with smaller, higher efficiency units based on the latest technologies. Two or three units can be easily deployed in the system, mounted close to the load to minimize cable drops.

Integrated Dual-Coil Relay Drivers Simplify Smart-Meter Design em.avnet.com/axiom_fscrelaydrivers PROBLEM

• Smart meters connect the household to the smart grid, which in turn optimizes the production, distribution and usage of energy. • Smart e-meters need the ability to remotely disconnect the loads from the grid to better manage the system during high demand usage or during a shortage of power sources. The function must be tolerant of the noisy environment of the smart meter as it is directly connected to the incoming feed from the grid and controlled by a micro-controller. The best solutions integrate service disconnect switches with accurate input filter timing, XOR input protection, the maximum output pulse-width to protect the relay, and the configurability of either following the input or to always put out a pre-defined maximum pulse width.

SOLUTION

• Fairchild Semiconductor’s FAN3240 and FAN3241 solutions are designed to drive dual-coil polarized latching relays that connect and disconnect power in smart electronic meters, solar inverter, energy generation, and building and home control applications. • 8 to 60 V operating range for use with 12, 24 or 48 V relays. • Strong DC current to break through welded contacts without using external switches. • Accurate timer pulses regardless of input pulse variations and glitches. –– Accurate input filter time (factory adjustable) and XOR input protection. –– Accurate maximum output pulse width (factory adjustable). • Output can follow input width or give maximum limit (mode factory adjustable). • Internal thermal shutdown protection for switches. • Single bias voltage design for the chip allows isolated and non-isolated designs. • Inputs compatible with 3.3 or 5 V square-wave logic signals. • Enable pin for operational flexibility. • Small overall PCB footprint

TREND

• With a smaller overall PCB footprint, the integrated FAN3240 and FAN3241 solutions save space and cost as well as add timers and protection functions to make the relay driving solutions safer and smarter in noisy environments.

Redefining the Figure of Merit (FOM) for MOSFETs in Power Conversion Applications em.avnet.com/axiom_vismosfets PROBLEM

• Switch mode power supplies (SMPS) in many applications need to work with higher efficiency levels as power and current levels increase.

SOLUTION

• Vishay Siliconix E Series SuperJunction MOSFETs offer better conduction and switching losses compared to different high-volume production silicon technology on the market today. The E Series achieves this new standard of performance by minimizing gate charge (Q g), gate-to-source charge (Q gs), gate-to-drain charge (Q gd), output capacitance/charge (C oss/Q oss) and on-resistance (Ron) in a way optimized for power conversion applications.

TREND

• There is a move away from a one-size-fits-all FOM for MOSFETs used in power conversion applications. Instead of just looking at on-resistance multiplied by typical gate charge, the new trend is toward more topology-specific analysis that takes into account additional specifications of the device, such as gate-to-source charge (Q gs), gate-to-drain charge (Q gd), and output capacitance/charge (C oss/Q oss). These do a better job of representing the actual losses that occur within the MOSFET. More than ever, device development continues to be a multi-variable balancing of specifications to achieve optimum performance.

SOLUTION

• The Bourns family of dual channel TCS HSPs work in conjunction with an overvoltage protection device and the ESD structure of an IC to minimize the energy absorbed by the IC during a surge event. ™

• The voltage level at the IC input/output (IO) is determined by the response of its ESD structure to the limited current through the TCS HSP rather than the response of the TVS diode to the surge event.

CDSOD323-T05LC CDSOT23-S2004 SM51589L PT61020L

• Each device in the TCS HSP family provides up to 40 V of isolation between the overvoltage protector and the IO of the protected IC. This allows the use of low-cost rail clamp diodes to the supply and ground instead of higher cost TVS diodes. • The low series impedance of the TCS HSP has a minimal impact on performance. The series resistance between channels is well-matched. • Use the links below to access the Bourns® TCS™ HSP training video, as well as two informative white papers: • www.bourns.com/TrainingDetail.aspx?name=tcs_training • www.bourns.com/data/global/pdfs/tcs_vdsl_white_paper.pdf • www.bourns.com/data/global/pdfs/Bourns_TCS_GBE_White_Paper.pdf

Advanced Power Solutions em.avnet.com/axiom_avxpower PROBLEM

• Power systems ranging from milliwatts to megawatts require myriad, reliable power products.

SOLUTION

• AVX provides a full spectrum of power solutions from RF broad-band DC block for power amplifiers, to DC hold-up and pulse-power supercapacitors – covering all ranges of power filtering and decoupling applications in between. The following are just a few examples of AVX’s product offerings: • GX Ultra Broadband DC Blocks. The GX Series was developed specifically to address DC blocking issues from 160 KHz (-3 dB roll-off) to 40 GHz. Most applications will experience resonance-free insertion loss of <0.5 dB thru at least 40 GHz. Using AVX’s patented precision thin film termination process, the device is designed to be completely orientation insensitive with a standard EIA 0201 footprint to minimize board space requirements. Both Ni/Sn and Ni/ Au terminations are available to cover a wide range of attachment processes. All GX parts are RoHS compliant. • Advanced Ceramic Capacitors for Switch-Mode Power Supplies. High speed SMPS place high demands on the capacitors used in the input or output filters of Resonant DC?DC or Pulse Modulated DC/DC converters. AVX has developed several MLC capacitor styles for these switcher applications. These capacitors have been extensively tested and characterized and found to have almost ideal performances to meet the stringent requirements of these applications. The standard SM series is extremely configurable, with six footprint options, each of which has stacking options from one to five units tall, covering a wide CV range in X7R dielectric. SMPS capacitors are also available in several alternate package types and supplied to commercial, automotive, MIL-PRF and space level specifications. • FB/FE DC Link Polypropylene Film Capacitors. For higher current industrial applications, the FB series (2-leaded) and FE series (4-leaded) use a non-impregnated metallized polypropylene dielectric specially treated to have a very high dielectric strength in operating conditions up to 100 °C. These capacitors have been designed for PCB mounting, and their performance characteristics make them a viable alternative to aluminum electrolytic technology due to much lower ESR and much higher surge voltage capability (dv/dt). • BestCap ® Pulse Supercapacitors. Representing the latest in pulse-supercapacitor technology, BestCap addresses conventional supercapacitor limitations - high ESR in the tens of Ohms range and high capacitance loss when required to supply very short duration current pulses. In BestCap, a unique proton polymer membrane is used – proton mobility is orders of magnitude greater than organic molecules and gives charge-transfer characteristics similar to the “dielectric” capacitor technologies noted above. This results in small size BestCap having the equivalent capacitance value of a much larger aluminum electrolytic capacitor or capacitor bank.

The

Consumerization of OEMs

By Doug Geisler, Business Development Team Manager for Avnet’s Embedded Software and Services Group (ESSG) Consumerization can mean many different things to different audiences. For me, it is the changing expectations in the industrial space that are the direct result of some of the technology available in the consumer space, such as cell phones and tablets. The changing consumer expectation is causing an increase in pressure to be placed on industrial OEMs to up their game and bring new products to market more quickly. Consumers are carrying an iPhone or Android device to work, and then looking at industrial machines whose interface, features, ease of use and overall user experience seems to be from 20 years ago. The interesting part for me is that the OEMs that feel this pressure may have a perfectly good product with no shortcomings at all. The issue is not that there is a problem with their product, but rather a whole new set of expectations are being placed on them by users. User perceptions of the devices are such that if they see a user interface (UI) that appears to be old, they believe the underlying device is old and ineffective compared with something that carries a ‘slicker’ interface.

Over the last 10-20 years, there have been these perception vs. reality judgments happening in the electronics business. But the cell phone and tablet markets alone have accelerated this dramatically. So what is an OEM to do when their product design cycles are 3-5 years compared to design cycles of consumer products that are measured in months? I have noticed OEMs fall into one of two major camps.

The “Hurry Up” Camp This group seems to think that all they need to do is cut their design cycles, move faster and all will be good. The challenge with this is that the entire company, the processes, the people, the product requirements, etc. are all built on certain assumptions that can only be sped up so fast. These people, processes and requirements take time. Industrial products are intended to last life cycles of many years, unlike the two years and trash seen by consumers. The “Hurry Up” folks are still trying to win the battle by taking the existing processes and just speeding them up.

Benefits Challenge

Quicker and less expensive to implement than some other options.

The “If You Can’t Beat ‘Em, Join ‘Em” Camp Interesting wisdom is forcing some into this camp, whether management likes it or not. This type of approach at least acknowledges that there are limitations to speeding up an existing system that may be better serviced by changing the rules all together. But often, these OEMs are hugely affected by the consumer space and are being forced in this direction. As an example of this group, medical instrument companies are being asked to develop iPad applications and interfaces for their machines. Why? Because doctors already carry iPads and know how to use them. If the OEM wants to add product features that will be successfully received by their most influential audience (i.e. doctors), the OEMs need to be able to tell customers that “There’s an app for that!” In essence, the OEMs need to leverage an infrastructure that they did not sell (i.e. the consumer devices owned by their product users).

Benefits

Can bring new products and features to market quickly, and at a lower cost since it relies on the customer’s own hardware. Customers are also more likely to perceive the OEM as being progressive.

Challenge

The OEM is likely to have to find external expertise to write the applications. OEMs will be subject to shorter life cycles of the consumer hardware and will need to make more frequent and constant revisions to software for continued support.

OEMs are limited with how much incremental gain they can achieve. They will quickly reach a point of diminishing returns.

So where is all this change taking an OEM? There is certainly no right or wrong answer. Some industries are less impacted by the consumer affect, and simply speeding up their design cycles will be enough to stay at the forefront of technology in their industry. And for other OEMs that feel the consumerization effects more acutely, the answer may be to go with the “join ‘em” trend. READ MORE ABOUT THIS TOPIC IN

The world’s first digitally enhanced power analog controller New analog-based power management controller with integrated microcontroller

Combine the flexibility and I2C communication of digital DC/DC power conversion, with the speed, performance and resolution of analog-based control, by using Microchip’s new MCP19111 power management controller. The MCP19111 is a new hybrid, mixed-signal controller which combines analog and digital power management into a single chip. By integrating an analog-based PWM controller, a Flash-based 8-bit PIC® microcontroller, and MOSFET drivers for synchronous, step-down applications, the MCP19111 enables configurable, highefficiency power conversion. With transient performance of analog power conversion, the MCP19111 eliminates the need for a high-MIPS microcontroller or a high-speed A/D converter, minimizing solution cost and power consumption.

GET STARTED IN 3 EASY STEPS: 1. Evaluate the MCP19111 using the low-cost ADM00397 board 2. Combine with SMPS-optimized MCP87xxx MOSFETs 3. Customize DC/DC conversion to match your application

To support even higher efficiency, the MCP19111 can be used to drive Microchip’s latest MCP87xxx high-speed, SMPS-optimized MOSFETs. These logic-level 25V MOSFETs offer a low Figure of Merit (FOM) with on-state resistance from 1.8 mΩ to 13 mΩ to deliver higher DC/DC power conversion efficiency.
