10.00-12.00 AM: Even Better than the Perfect 8051 – Introducing the 16-bit 80251 Architecture

Speaker: Maciej Pyka, Microcontrollers Product Line Manager at Evatronix

Our main 8051 engineer will keep you focused on the 8051 microcontroller architecture by discussing some myths and comparing them to the undisputed facts. Later on Maciej will satisfy your curiosity about the performance of our latest kid on the block, the 80251 series microcontroller, and show you how it is able to meet future application challenges. Find out how to make the affordable 8051/80251 architecture skyrocket your SoC design!

1.00-3.00 PM: USB 3.0 – Going Superspeed with the Technology You Know

Speaker: Pawel Eichler, USB 3.0 Design Specialist at Evatronix

Over the years the USB protocol has become the truly universal communication standard among various devices. Right now, when multimedia applications are setting the required bandwidth bar higher than ever before, the expectations from the USB 3.0 spec are great. In this session you will learn about the hottest issues regarding the recently most discussed technology.

• Ideal for high current applications and for powering digital systems
• Choice of 9-36V and 18-75V input ranges with positive or negative on/off polarity
• 2250VDC basic isolation and extensive self protection features
• Space saving replacement for 2in. x 1in. competitor modules

The BEI15 series of isolated, wide input bipolar DC/DC converters from Murata Power Solutions offers a small footprint solution for high current applications in mobile and battery powered products, test equipment and telecoms and wireless designs. The new modules deliver a full 15W of output power with efficiency levels up to 86% from one square inch of board area and can provide a space-saving, pin compatible, drop-in replacement for older, 1in. x 2in. DC/DC converters.

The through-hole PCB mounting BEI15 series offers a choice of ±5V, ±12V and ±15V bipolar output voltages regulated to within ±0.25%. Designers can choose from wide 4:1 input voltages of either 9-36V (with positive remote on/off polarity), or 18-75V (with negative remote on/off polarity). All modules have full magnetic and optical isolation with basic protection up to 2250VDC. A synchronous rectifier forward topology is used to achieve high levels of efficiency that allow ‘no-fan’ operation.

The low-profile open-frame package has overall dimensions of 24.4mm (0.96in.) x 27.9mm (1.1in.) x 8.9mm (0.35in.) and an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Excellent ripple and noise specifications assure compatibility to noise susceptible circuits, and fast settling outputs that accept higher capacitive loads make the BEI15 series ideal for powering digital systems.

Self-protection features that avoid both converter and external circuit faults include input undervoltage lockout and overtemperature shutdown. The module outputs current limit using the ‘hiccup’ auto restart technique and are short-circuit protected. Additional features include output overvoltage and reverse conduction elimination.

Fully compliant with RoHS-6 standards, the BEI15 series also meets UL/EN/IEC 60950-1 safety approvals.
