Featured Reference Designs 2-port 40GbE/10GbE QSFP+ Signal Conditioner Reference Design This verified reference design is a signal conditioning solution for front-port QSFP+ supporting two 40GbE ports compatible with 40G-CR4/SR4/LR4 and 10G SFF-8431 requirements. The design is applicable to optical and passive/active copper cables. Daisy chain temperature sensor reference design for SensorTag This reference design entails four TMP107 temperature sensors along a daisy chain in a cabling environment. The sensors connect to the SensorTag development platform via the UART interface where the information can be transmitted wirelessly. Isolated IGBT Gate Driver Evaluation Platform for 3-Phase Inverter System Reference Design This reference design consists of a 22kW power stage with TI’s new reinforced isolated IGBT gate driver ISO5852S intended for motor control in various applications. This design allows performance evaluation of the ISO5852S in 3-phase inverter incorporating 1200V rated IGBT modules of current ratings ranging from 50A-200A. 24-V, 50-W BLDC Motor Sinusoidal Drive Reference Design for Air Purifier Fans This reference design is a cost-effective, small form-factor, three-phase sinusoidal motor drive for brushless DC (BLDC) motors up to 50 W at 24 V power. It features the DRV10983, which employs a proprietary sensorless control scheme significantly reduce pure tone acoustics that typically occur as a result of commutation. Automotive qualified 16-bit Rotary Quadrature Decoder Reference Design People prefer to use knobs over touchscreens in many situations. This TI reference design creates a solution that minimizes the required connections from a microcontroller to monitor, a rotary quadrature encoder’s direction and distance of rotation. Low Cost Loop-Powered 4-20mA Transmitter EMC/EMI Tested Reference Design A low cost system that implements a 12-bit loop-powered, or 2-wire, transmitter using the DAC7311, OPA317, and TL431B. The design includes a protection circuit that provides immunity to the IEC61000-4 test suite. High-Resolution, Low-Drift, Precision Weigh-Scale Reference Design with AC Bridge Excitation This precision weigh-scale reference design achieves greater than 50,000 noise-free counts of resolution. Offset and offset drift errors are nearly eliminated by ac bridge excitation. Piezo Speaker Strobe Notification Reference Design This reference design uses TI’s industrial piezo driver, flash LED driver, and the ultra-low-power FRAM microcontroller (MCU) to demonstrate the implementation of both audible and visual notification subsystems, primarily intended for fire alert end-equipment systems.
