Isolation Technology Helps Integrate Solar Photovoltaic Systems onto the Smart Grid
Solar photovoltaic inverters convert electrical power from a solar panel and deploy it to the utility grid with up to 98% efficiency. An isolation barrier must protect measurement circuitry from the power-handling circuitry and from switching transients. This article suggests how iCoupler isolation technology can reduce cost, increase smart grid integration, and improve safety of solar PV inverters.
Designing Robust Isolated RS-232 Data Interfaces for Harsh Industrial Applications
A key requirement in industrial and instrumentation (I&I) applications is a reliable data interface for inspecting connected systems via a diagnostic port. The RS-232 bus standard is one of the oldest and most widely used physical-layer bus designs. First introduced in 1962, this single-ended data transmission standard continues to be widely used for communications over a short cable.
ADuC7026 Provides Programmable Voltages for Evaluating Multiple Power Supply Systems
High-voltage switches, bipolar ADCs, and other devices with multiple power supplies often require that supply voltages be applied or removed in a particular sequence. This article proposes an easy method for determining the behavior of a system when subjected to supply transients, interruptions, or sequence variations. Available evaluation boards enable prototyping with a minimum of development.
Making Batteries Last Longer with Fast, High-Precision SAR Analog-to-Digital Converters
Low power consumption is key for today's devices: portable instruments require reduced size and weight, longer operating life, lower cost, and more features—and line-powered systems can operate without heat sinks or fans, making them smaller, lower cost, more reliable, and greener. Lowering the supply voltage, and turning a SAR ADC’s fast clock off after each conversion can save power.
Diagnostic Technique Detects Open and Short Circuits in Wiring Harnesses
As a vital part of modern cars, wiring harnesses containing thousands of assembly components connect various electronic systems, enabling them to work together. A single failure in any harness can affect the entire system. This article offers a circuit idea that provides a robust, cost-effective technique for implementing wire diagnostics on the video and audio transmission lines in automotive applications.
Analyzing Frequency Response of Inertial MEMS in Stabilization Systems
UAV-mounted surveillance equipment, maritime microwave receivers, and vehicle-mounted infrared imaging sensors require stable platforms for best performance, but they are often subject to vibration and other undesirable kinds of motion. Platform stabilization systems employ closed-loop control systems to actively cancel this type of motion, thus preserving mission-critical performance objectives.

Solar Photovoltaic Inverters
A major portion of the electrical energy produced directly from the sun’s radiation is generated by solar photovoltaic (PV) cells, which convert photons of light energy to electron flow that constitutes an electrical current. Figure 1 shows an aerial photo of a large solar PV installation.
