Circuit Design

When I use Multisim Blue mouser version to simulation a circuit. I found that this version do not have a pulse source, so it is difficult to generate a pulse with delay. I found a method that could use pulse by make a component by component wizard. The steps as blew. 1) Select from menu. Tools->Component Wizard Fill the Component name as you like. Select Simulation only. Then click Button “next” Set the number of pins to 2. Then click Button “next” Click Button “copy from DB” Select Clock voltage. Then click Button “OK” Click Button “Next” click Button “Next” Fill Model Name “pulseS” and Fill Model data with: .SUBCKT pulseS CR1 CR2 PARAMS: V1=0 V2=15 TD=0NS TR=10NS TF=10NS PW=20US PER=100US vV1 CR1 CR2 PULSE({V1} {V2} {TD} {TR} {TF} {PW} {PER}) .ENDS Then click Button “Next” Then click Button “Finish”. You can put the component on where you want. When you want to change the parameter, you can right click the components and select “properties”, then click Ta...

A digital potentiometer (also called a resistive digital-to-analog converter or informally a digipot ) is a digitally-controlled electronic component that mimics the analog functions of a potentiometer . It is often used for trimming and scaling analog signals by microcontrollers . It Can be divided to Volatile version and Non Volatile version. Volatile Version will reset when lost power. The non-volatile version can keep the set when lost power.

The PCBA manufacture needs a file to tell them where the components should place in SMT machine. You can follow step list below to generate that kinds file in PADS Layout. 1) Set the design units to metric.     Select options in Tools menu.      2) Set the origin to the Bottom Left corner, If there is something is out of the board, you can set the origin to let all object in the board is positive coordinate. Or there may be something wrong when you generate manufacture file use cam. 3) Generate the components place file using CAM PLUS Set as shown in the picture and click Run button. It will generate all the components on the top layer. If you have components on the bottom layer, please run again and change the side to the bottom. The extension name of the generated file is .318. In fact, these files are text files. You can check those file by a text file editor. The file contents are like that.

Some times the customer hope the output signal of the sensor should be a current signal. So I design a simple circuit to convert a voltage signal to current signal. Input voltage: 0-5V, output: 4-20mA

I am going to design a circuit that uses a battery as a power source. And an adapter as the input power. So I need a circuit that switches the power source automatically from battery to input power. And I do not want to add a chip to do this because it will increase the cost of the board. The simple circuit for that could be: The shortcoming of this circuit is that it will consume some power by the diode D1 when the adapter plugs in.  In order to overcome this, a P-MOSFET is used to replace it. The simulation showed it works well. I will test it later.

Recently, I am designing a circuit that needs to switch off a module from 12V by a 5V control signal. So I do some research work and make desicion to use the circuit as below. The simulation result as below. The real components in the design list as below. P-Channel MOSFET:  TPH1R712MD (RDSon:1.35mOhms)
