Connectors are a very important part of electronics

In today's era of so advanced technology, there are many electronic products that we use or touch in real life. Imagine what would happen if there were no connectors in electronic products. The circuits of electronic products should be permanently connected with continuous conductors. Together, for example, an electronic device is to be connected to a power source, and both ends of the connecting wire must be fixedly fastened to the electronic device and the power source by some method (welding).

As mentioned above, both the manufacture of the product and the use of the finished electronic product bring a lot of inconvenience. Taking the LED landscape light as an example, the distance from the power supply to the lamp holder is generally relatively large. If each line is connected from head to tail from the power supply to the lamp holder, it will bring unnecessary trouble to the construction and cause Wire wasted.

Some people may ask questions, directly open a gap from the fire line, connect the conductive parts of the wire together, and then wrap a few layers of insulating glue is not OK? It is not necessary to use a connector. Firstly, most of the insulating tapes are easy to age, and there are safety hazards. Secondly, the mechanical properties of the joints directly connected by wires are very poor. The wires are slightly vibrated and stretched, which is easy to cause an open circuit, and the interface is poorly contacted, which may cause heat generation, which may cause a fire.

Moreover, the outdoor environment is harsh, the requirements of waterproofing, salt-proof and anti-aging will be relatively high, and the insulating rubber will not meet the requirements. But if you use high-performance waterproof connectors in outdoor lighting, it not only simplifies the installation of the power grid, but also all the safety hazards will be reduced to a very low level.

The above example simply illustrates the benefits of the connector, which makes the design and production process more convenient, more flexible, safer, and lowers production and maintenance costs. The emergence of connectors improves the manufacturing process. The connector simplifies the assembly process of electronic products, and simplifies the mass production process. It is easy to repair. If an electronic component fails, the failed component can be quickly replaced when the connector is installed, and the upgrade is easy. Replacing components with connectors, replacing old design flexibility with new, more sophisticated components. Using connectors allows engineers to design and integrate new products, as well as when building components with components, Greater flexibility.

Especially for industrial connectors, sometimes it is more important to be flexible and safe in harsh environments where plugging and unplugging is required. At this time, a simple plug connector with a snap button would be a wise choice.

 

How can I improve electromagnetic compatibility?

Various forms of electromagnetic interference are the main factors affecting the electromagnetic compatibility of electrical equipment. Electromagnetic interference can be divided into internal interference and external interference. Internal interference refers to mutual interference between various components inside an electronic device. For example, the working power supply generates interference caused by leakage of distributed capacitance and insulation resistance of the line, interference of component heating, impedance interference of signal through ground wire, power supply and transmission wire, magnetic field and electric field interference generated by high-power and high-voltage components. External interference refers to interference caused by factors other than electronic equipment or systems. For example: interference caused by space electromagnetic waves, interference generated by power supply network, strong magnetic field interference generated by external high-power equipment, interference caused by external high voltage through insulation leakage, and disturbance caused by internal electronic components due to unstable environmental temperature Wait. In order to ensure the normal operation of medical electronic equipment, the impact of interference must be weakened and prevented. There must be three factors in the electromagnetic compatibility problem between the systems: electromagnetic interference source, coupling path, and sensitive equipment. These three aspects are indispensable. Therefore, we can take corresponding measures from the above three aspects, such as eliminating or suppressing interference source, cut off the interference channel and weaken the sensitivity of the equipment to interference, etc., by adopting various anti-interference technical measures, the equipment instrument works stably and reliably, and effectively solves the electromagnetic compatibility problem. Common techniques for suppressing interference are:

Electromagnetic shielding

The shielding body is used to absorb energy (eddy current loss), reflected energy (electromagnetic wave reflection at the interface of the shielding body) and offset energy for electromagnetic waves from the outside or inside (electromagnetic induction generates a reverse electromagnetic field on the shielding layer to cancel part of the interference). The role of electromagnetic waves, to achieve the function of reducing interference. When the frequency of the interfering electromagnetic field is high, a conductive metal material is used as a shielding layer, and the eddy current generated in the shielding metal by the high-frequency interference electromagnetic field is used to form a canceling effect of the external electromagnetic wave. When the frequency of the interfering electromagnetic field is low, a high magnetic permeability material is used as a shielding layer to limit the magnetic lines of force inside the shielding body to prevent outward diffusion.

In recent years, plastic cases, plastic parts or panels have been widely used in medical electronic devices, so that external electromagnetic waves can easily penetrate the outer casing or the panel, which interferes with the normal operation of the instrument, and the electromagnetic waves generated by the instrument are also very easy to radiate. Go to the surrounding space and affect the normal operation of other electronic instruments. Such instruments can be treated by a plastic metallization process, such as sputter galvanizing, electroless copper plating, pasting metal foil, and coating of a conductive coating. After metallization, the fully insulated plastic surface has a metal. This reflects, absorbs, conducts, and attenuates the characteristics of electromagnetic waves, and acts to shield electromagnetic waves. The Chinese and foreign instruments and devices with display function, because the display screen uses ordinary glass, does not have the function of electromagnetic shielding, and the electromagnetic waves generated by the internal module work radiate outward through here to form interference. In order to improve the electromagnetic compatibility of the instrument, the original display glass can be changed into a screened glass to cut off the electromagnetic coupling path.

Electrostatic shielding

It is shielded by a metal container with good conductivity connected to the ground, so that the internal electric field is not transmitted, and the external electric field does not affect the inside.

Ground

Grounding is the main method to suppress noise and prevent interference, including power system grounding, equipment grounding, circuit signal grounding, shield grounding, etc. The main purpose of grounding is:

(1) Make all the unit circuits in the whole circuit system have a common reference zero potential to ensure stable operation of the circuit system.

(2) Prevent interference from external electromagnetic fields. By grounding the casing, a large amount of electric charge accumulated on the casing due to electrostatic induction is transmitted to the earth, and the high voltage formed by these charges is prevented from interfering with the device.

 (3) Ensure safe work. In order to prevent damage caused by lightning strikes and personal safety of the workers, the casing of the electronic device must be connected to the earth. In order to prevent electromagnetic interference between the medical electronic devices sharing the power supply through the power line, a three-phase five-wire and single-phase three-wire power supply mode should be adopted. The grounding network must be standardized in the hospital. All kinds of grounding should be self-contained and cannot share the same grounding pole. There should be an independent AC grounding grid in the medical building, and no multi-point grounding is allowed in each room. It is forbidden to use the heating pipe and the water pipe as the grounding wire. It is strictly forbidden to work without the grounding wire.

Filter

Filtering is an important measure to suppress and prevent interference. According to the signal and noise frequency distribution range, the filter of the corresponding frequency band is connected into the signal transmission channel, and the noise is filtered or as much as possible to achieve the purpose of improving the signal to noise ratio. The use of a filtering network is a powerful measure to suppress interference sources and eliminate interference coupling, or to enhance the anti-jamming capability of receiving devices. There are many types of filters, such as low-pass filters, high-pass filters, band-pass filters, band-stop filters, etc. Depending on the characteristics of the signal spectrum and the spectral characteristics of the interference, choosing the appropriate filter can eliminate unwanted coupling. For example, a high-frequency circuit can use a CLCπ-type filter composed of two capacitors and one inductor (high-frequency choke). Decoupling and sensing decoupling networks isolate the circuit from the power supply, eliminate coupling between the circuits, and prevent interfering signals from entering the circuit.

Balance circuit

Also known as a symmetrical circuit, it refers to two wires in a two-wire circuit and all circuits connected to the wires, and have the same impedance to ground or to other wires. The purpose is to make the interference signals detected by the two wires equal. The interference noise at this time is a common state signal, which can disappear on the load itself.

Floating

Also known as floating, floating, refers to the electronic signal instrumentation of the input signal amplifier public line is not connected to the chassis and does not connect to the ground, a measure to suppress interference. The goal is to block the path of the interference current.

Isolation

Isolation is a technical measure to destroy the interference path and cut off the noise coupling channel to achieve the purpose of suppressing interference. Commonly used circuit isolation methods are transformer isolation method and photoelectric coupling method.

Introduction to monolithic and mixed digital-to-analog converters

This article briefly introduces Monolithic/Hybrid Digital to Analog Converters

DIGITAL TO ANALOG CONVERTERS,both of them have been designed for four inputs. But, if the number of inputs is more than four, the combination of output becomes more than 16. This makes the circuit more complex and the accuracy of the circuit reduces. Therefore, in critical and complex applications, a monolithic/hybrid D/A converter IC must be used. With the help of binary-weighted resistor, and R  and 2R resistor methods, 8-bit,10-bit, 12-bit, 14-bit, and 16-bit D/A converters can be designed with a current output, voltage output, or both current and voltage outputs.

The most commonly used 8-bit D/A converter is MC 1408 which has a current output that can be converted to a voltage type using a current to voltage converter op-amp. The design along with the current to voltage converter is shown in the figure below.

MC 1408 Digital to Analog Converter

V₀ = V_ref/R_ref *(R_F)*{D7/2 + D6/4 + D5/8 + D4/16 + D3/32 + D2/64 + D1/128 + D0/256}

SE/NE 5018 is a typical 8-bit D/A converter with voltage output. The figure is shown below.

SE-NE 5018 Digital to Analog Converter

In the figure, the SE/NE 5018 circuit is configured for uni-polar output (0V to 10V). For 12 bits of resolution as well as current and voltage outputs, hybrid D/A converters such as DATEL DAC-H2 series is used.

For the correct selection of the D/A converter out of the lot, some important specifications of the converter must be known.

What is a gas sensor and what type of sensor?

1.The role of the gas sensor.

The device that can sense the change of gas sensing concentration is called gas sensor. Gas sensors are widely used in petroleum, mining, machinery, chemical and other light and heavy industries as well as ordinary families about gas poisoning and fire, detection, alarm and control of accidents such as explosion and air pollution. In industrial production and people's daily life, gas sensors are widely used to detect the leakage of combustible gases and toxic gases, in case of air pollution, explosion, fire, poisoning, etc. There are many kinds of gas sensors, and the most common ones are semiconductor gas sensors.

2.The characteristics of the gas sensor.

Semiconductor gas sensor is the core of semiconductor gas sensor. It is made of the characteristic that the semiconductor material SnO2can adsorb the gas to change its resistance. When the detected gas is adsorbed on its surface, the proportion of conductive electrons in the contact interface of the semiconductor crystallite particles will change, so that the resistance value of the gas sensor will be changed measuring the concentration of the gas changes, so the gas concentration can be converted into the change of the Telecom number. This reaction is reversible and therefore reusable.

In order to speed up the reaction and achieve high sensitivity, it is usually necessary to heat the gas sensor with electric current through the heating wire. The heating temperature varies with the material used by the gas sensor. When the gas sensor starts heating in the clean air, the resistance drops sharply, and the stable value is reached after a few minutes, which is called the passive period stabilization time. When the resistance of the gas sensor is in the stable value, it will change with the adsorption of the detected gas. The variation of resistance depends on the type of semiconductor. The resistance of P-type semiconductor gas sensor increased, and the resistance of N-type semiconductor gas sensor decreased. After the gas sensor is heated, the resistance in the normal air is the static resistance Ro, and the resistance value of the gas sensor is Rx, the ratio of Ro to Rx is called the sensitivity of the gas sensor. When the gas sensor is in contact with the detected gas, the time of its resistance changing from Ro to Rx is called the response time; when the gas is removed, the time of recovery from Rx to Ro is called recovery time.

3.Choose a gas sensor in use.

(1)The sensitivity of the measured gas is high, and the variation of resistance per unit gas concentration is large.

(2) Good selectivity for single or multiple measured gases is less dependent on the temperature of the environment.

(4) Good moisture resistance.

(5) Long life.

To understand their aging mechanisms, they can predict their lifespan.

4.Detect the gas sensor.

 Add voltage to the gas sensor, when the gas sensor is connected to the circuit, the voltmeter pointer should be deflected in the negative direction and go back to zero after a few seconds, and then gradually rise to a stable value, indicating that the gas sensor has reached the preheating time. The ammeter should be indicated within 150mA, with some gas (such as alcohol, liquefied gas and so on) aiming at the gas sensitivity. Probe, use a multimeter to measure the voltage at both ends of Uo.

The gas should change, no change is bad. (the greater the amplitude of the voltmeter is, the better the performance of the gas sensor.)

 LOW POWER DIGITAL SENSOR FOR INDAir Quality Sensor I²C

New amplifier with audio - IC and multi-chip modules

Infineon is combining its existing line of amplifiers with audio applications - IC and multi-chip modules. Four new Merus brand IC amplifiers have been proposed.

With its new "Merus" brand for audio amplifier ICs, Infineon wants to highlight the advantages of its amplifier ICs:

1. When the sound is generated in the speaker, the heat is not distributed;

2. Can't see, but can hear it;

3. Small and light;

4. Be flexible and configurable, but not just delicate and difficult to use.

The Merus amplifier is based on a new technology: multi-stage switching technology for Class D audio amplifiers, comparable to multi-level converter technology. Not only does it provide high efficiency, but it also has a positive impact on other audio amplifiers such as sound quality, size, output power, electromagnetic emissions and component costs.

Under the new Merus brand, Infineon bundles its amplifier ICs for audio applications.

Infineon is modulating the new Class D audio amplifier to control the power level of the analog five-speed converter. These multistage Class D amplifiers use additional power MOSFETs (integrated in the IC) and capacitors compared to conventional amplifiers.

This technique makes it possible to output an audio signal with a higher granularity, ie with a higher switching frequency and a scalable output signal level. Another advantage of multi-stage Class D amplifiers: they allow for smaller designs and sleep modes with virtually no measurable switching losses.

Four new Merus amplifiers

Based on the new modulation technology, Infineon introduces one of four integrated multi-stage class D audio amplifiers: the MA12040 and MA12070 with analog audio inputs, MA12040P and MA12070P with digital inputs (I 2 S). They are satisfied with power consumption in the 250 mW range and have no output filter. Therefore, they are particularly suitable for portable battery powered devices and for applications with limited installation space - if there is no space for the heat sink and the output filter is present.

The new Merus Class D amplifiers from the Infineon MA12040 / P and MA12070 / P support up to four channels.

Traditional Class D amplifiers operate only at higher volume levels and are more efficient. A realistic and typical audio playback that requires an average of about 1 watt of output power for itself is much more power than the IC of the first generation Merus multi-stage class d audio amplifier now presented.

The new audio amplifier IC supports up to four channels in the mode PBTL (parallel bridge load), BTL (bridged load) or SE (single-ended) can be configured. In PBTL mode, a single monolithic IC can deliver up to 160 W of peak power - maximum. 16 A load current. Alternatively, a four-channel IC can also be used in a 2.1 system, for example, two to drive a 20 watt range speaker (SE mode) and a 40 W woofer (BTL mode).

The new Merus Class D amplifiers, the MA12040/P and MA12070/P, have an integrated digital power supply with low distortion (THD + N = 0.003%) and low EMI emissions. They are protected by a variety of built-in functions: undervoltage shutdown (UVLO), short/overcurrent and DC protection, and warning and error messages when overheating. Infineon offers an integrated Merus Class Daudio amplifier IC in a thermally optimized 64-pin QFN package with EPAD (exposed thermal pad).

Classification resistor

1. Resistance characteristic

Fixed resistors, adjustable resistors, special resistors (sensitive resistors).

 Can not be adjusted, we call fixed resistors or fixed resistors, and can be adjusted, we call it adjustable resistors. The common adjustable resistor is a sliding rheostat. For example, the radio volume adjustment device is a circular sliding rheostat. It is mainly used for voltage distribution. We call it a potentiometer.

2.By manufacturing material

Carbon film resistor, metal film resistor, wirewound resistor, non-inductive resistor, thin film resistor, etc. The film resistance is formed by evaporating a certain resistivity material on the surface of the insulating material by evaporation.

Mainly as follows:

 Carbon Film Resistors Carbon Film Resistors

Carbon film resistor (carbon film resistor), commonly used symbol RT as a mark; for the earliest and most commonly used resistors, vacuum coating technology is used to spray a layer of carbon film on the porcelain rod, and then the outer layer of the carbon film is cut into a spiral The striate shape determines the resistance value according to the number of spiral patterns. The more the spiral pattern, the larger the resistance value. Finally, the outer layer is coated with epoxy resin to protect it.

Although the resistance error is higher than that of the metal film, it is cheap. Carbon film resistors are still widely used in various products, and are the most basic components of electronics, electrical appliances, equipment and information products.

 Metal film resistor, metal film resistor, commonly used symbol RJ as a mark; it is also sprayed on the porcelain bar by vacuum spraying technology, but the carbon film is replaced by a metal film (such as nickel chrome), and in the metal film car The upper spiral has different resistance values ??and is plated with precious metals on both ends of the porcelain rod. Although it is more expensive than carbon film resistors, it has low noise, is stable, and is less affected by temperature. Its high precision has become its excellent metal film resistance potential. Therefore, it is widely used in advanced audio equipment, computers, instruments, defense and space equipment.

LIGHTFAIR International (Vitasolis) latest LED spectroscopy technology

According to reports, Nichia will launch the most advanced LED spectroscopy technology at LIGHTFAIR International (Vitasolis). This technology will be incorporated into the 757 platform of Nichia for the first time and will help control human circadian rhythms through a unique spectrum designed to stimulate activity. Nichia has previously demonstrated the technology at the 2019 Phosphor Global Summit (2019) and the 2019 Department of Energy SSL R&D Workshop.

So far, the main goal of LED lighting is to save energy. However, the focus of many lighting applications has recently turned to improving the quality of light.

 

Recent research has further revealed the relationship between light and human behavior. Humans can not only recognize the brightness and color of light, but human circadian rhythms may be affected by different wavelengths, especially the blue-green area. For example, lighting can have an effect on the level of activity throughout the day, including wake up in the morning, daytime activities, and nighttime sleep aids.

Nichia said that Vitasolis can provide very natural white light, and some of its spectrum contains more energy in the blue-green region, which helps control the human circadian rhythm. The spectral distribution of Vitasolis clearly illuminates the object while maintaining high light efficiency.

The advantages of Vitasolis technology provide opportunities for offices, schools, hospitals and other locations to improve circadian rhythms. Nichia believes that the future manufacturer will combine Vitasolis with the IoT system and provide the right lighting according to the time of day and the required environment to truly realize the people-oriented lighting experience.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of embedding an ARM hard core on a Field Programmable Gate Array?

Currently, the ARM hard core embedded in the FPGA includes Xilinx's ZYNQ series and Intel's CYCLONEV series.

ZYNQ has a certain market, but this market is not the mainstream market of traditional FPGAs, but to grab some control market in the field of micro-processing. However, at present, on the repercussions, I heard that it is not as good as expected. First of all, for small companies, there are not many people who are familiar with ARM and FPGA at the same time. In large companies, because they are facing a market with higher requirements for professional division of labor, they are generally used. The way of FPGA+CPU is still reserved for such new things like ZYNQ, and there are more wait-and-see attitudes.

But with the development of technology and tools, the use of ZYNQ is increasingly favored by many companies.

Compared to the advantages of FPGA+ARM:

Reduce the difficulty of hardware design.

The bandwidth between ARM and FPGA is very large, and can share the same DDR, which is convenient for data co-processing.

From the price point of view, ZYNQ and IBM's price of the same resource are almost the same, that is, ARM is equivalent free.

Disadvantages:

The development process will be a challenge. The general company FPGA development and embedded development will belong to different teams. The development of ZYNQ may require a new model.

For the field of image processing, there may be a DSP behind, which is also sold with ARM (TI's Da Vinci series), so ZYNQ is more embarrassing.

What are the definitions of luminescence?

Compared with the heat radiation, the light emission phenomenon that the absorbed energy is transformed into the non-equilibrium radiation state directly by the object without passing through the thermal stage is called "luminescence" . The solid material with such luminescence phenomenon is called "Luminescence" as the solid luminescent material. It is usually divided into different types according to the mode of excitation and the duration of luminescence.

1. Classification by mode of excitation

(1)Photoluminescence (Photo Luminescence, PL).

Luminescence excited by light (electromagnetic radiation) is widely used in the field of solid state exciter and fluorescent lamp. There are many kinds of photoluminescence materials, such as fluorescent lamp  luminescent material, plasma display luminescent material, long afterglow luminescent material and up-conversion luminescent material, etc.

(2)Cathodo Luminescence (CL2).

Using electron beam to excite luminous substance, the electron energy is very high, some even reach ten thousand electron volts, some devices display screen (such as computer CRT display) adopt this kind of luminous way.

(3)Electroluminescent (ELL).

It is also called "field luminescence", which is produced by current or electric field. The light emitting diode (LED) mentioned above belongs to this type of luminescence, which is emitted when the current is loaded into the P-N junction.

(4) Irradiating luminescence.

X-ray, a ray, β ray, ray and so on high energy ray excites the luminescence. The most commonly used equipment is an increase in medical X-ray photography screen, X-ray screen.

(5) Chemiluminescence (Chemi ninecene) excited luminescence by chemical reaction. This luminous energy originates from the chemical energy released by chemical reactions.

(6) sonoluminescence  is a relatively new method of luminescence, originally found in water.

Solution, under the action of sound pressure has the phenomenon of luminescence.

(7)Tribological luminescence lminesenece is loading friction onto solid material of luminescence.

(8)Bioluminescence (bioluminescence). Luminescence occurring in organisms and their extracts independent of the absorption of light. In theory, bioluminescence is a special kind of luminescence that depend on chemiluminescence

2. Classification according to luminous duration

One of the basic characteristics of solid state luminescence is that when excitation stops, the luminescence process does not end immediately, but gradually weakens until it finally disappears, that is, the afterglow after glow  is observed. Generally, luminescence is divided into two categories according to duration: those less than this time are called fluorescence, and those that are larger than this time are called fluorescence phosphorescence.

This article is from Allicdata Electronics Limited which offer a varity of component made by the solid luminescent material.

Special resistors: network resistors and adjustable resistors?

l  Network resistors

In the circuit design, the network resistor is also used. The network resistor has the advantage of being neat and less space-consuming than the color ring resistor. The inside of the circuit is actually arranged neatly by a plurality of resistors. There are two types of network resistors.

Note: Network resistors are the resistors commonly used in circuits.

1.Dual in-line network resistor

The dual in-line network resistor is similar to the IC. The first pin is represented by a dot or a small groove. When you hold the component, the component body faces itself, the slot or small dot is up, and the first one on the left. The pin is the first pin. The holes for the first pin are usually marked on the board with square or pointed pads. When plugging in the network resistor, the first pin must be inserted into the board with the hole labeled the first pin.

2.Single in-line network resistor

A single in-line network resistor is a plastic box with a row of pins. The symbol in the circuit is "RN

RP", "1B"

The first pin is indicated by a small dot on the component body or the number "1" or a thick solid line. The first pin on the board is usually represented by a square pad or a dot. The first pin is usually inserted into this square pad or next to a small dot.

Network resistor :4608X-101-181LF

 

l  Potentiometer : adjustable resistor

The potentiometer is an adjustable resistor. Its  symbol in circuit is Rp. The resistance can be changed by adjusting the knob or screw on the component body. The potentiometer is directional. A potentiometer has three pins and there is only one way to insert the potentiometer into the board. The shape of the potentiometer is square, circular and rectangular.

Generally speaking, it is easy to judge the quality of the resistor by using a multimeter:

In general, it is easy to judge the quality of a resistor using a multimeter:

Adjust the resistance block of the multimeter to the appropriate resistance value and placing the two test leads on both ends of the resistor.

It should be noted that the hand cannot touch the metal part of the test lead when testing the resistance. In actual electrical maintenance, resistance damage rarely occurs. The important thing to note is whether the resistor is soldered (false solder) or stripped. The shape of the resistor is shown in the figure.
