Active clamp/reset PWM IC becomes more versatile: 06/26/03  EDN-Design Ideas / The UCC3580 (www.ti.com), IC1 in Figure 1, is an active-clamp/reset-PWM IC that has all the requisites of a power-supply IC except for current limit. You can use the shutdown pin (16) for this purpose (see the UCC3580 data sheet). But when the shutdown pin activates, the soft-start capacitor normally connected to Pin 15 discharges, and the converter starts again, resulting in hiccup mode...

Circuit makes simple FSK modulator: 10/11/2001 EDN - Design Ideas / The need for a compact telemetry system poses a challenge for designing a small, light, low-component-count system. Interfacing serial data from the microprocessor is also difficult because most low-cost RF transmitters do not accept dc levels at the input. Commercial FSK (frequency-shift-keying) modulators are bulky and need many passive components. .

Circuit sequences supplies for FPGAs: 01/23/03  EDN-Design Ideas / System designers must consider the timing and voltage differences between core and I/O power supplies (in other words, power-supply sequencing) during power-up and power-down. The possibility of a latch-up failure or excessive current draw exists when power-supply sequencing does not occur properly. The trigger for latch-up may occur if power supplies apply different potentials to the core and .....
