Sine wave inverter design help – I am designing a sine wave inverter using a PIC16F1936. I have generated two signals which are complementary and I am getting a sine wave from the two signals after the RC filter in Proteus. Now I want to design the power stage. Can I design a power stage without output transformer that is using just MOSFETs? If yes, should I use an H-bridge topology? If not, then for a 5 or 5.25kW inverter, what should be the transformer rating for the primary and secondary side V and I ratings? Read more
3-phase induction motor driver and power-stage design help – I am designing a 3-phase induction motor V/F control. I am planning on using a dsPIC33FJ32MC202. There will be six SPWM signals. Will there also be three complementary sine wave PWMs? If yes, which signals are complementary? The signals are
PWM1H1
PWM1L1
PWM1H2
PWM1L2
PWM1H3
PWM1L3
I am planning to use IRF540 for the driver stage. Read more
Software serial RS232 interface for 16F877a – I’m trying to create a software UART for my 16f877a controller for interfacing a serial Bluetooth and GSM modem for home automation purposes. But I got stuck in the first step itself. FI tried FORCE_SW function on the CCS C compiler but it is not working properly. The data displayed on the terminal is full of junk. Read more
89s52 consumes more current in power-down mode – I am trying to work on power-down mode using an 89S52. My problem is that it consumes about 0.500μA of current but the data sheet says current consumption in power-down mode is 50μA. I have not connected any components to my circuit and it contains only 89S52, 11.05962 crystal, 33pf capacitors for crystals, and an Li-ion battery. Read more
Relationship between Vref and LSB error of ADC – Can someone explain to me the relationship between Vref vs LSB error? I’m a bit confused with datasheet of ADC. I’m using an LM35 sensor for temperature measurements and an ADC MCP 3004 for analog-digital conversion. This AD5142 IC has me stumped. I have tried every combination I can come up with and there is nothing I can do to make it work.
Here’s the schematic:
Here’s the actual layout with the programming probe pads with the corresponding microcontroller controller terminals:
Here are the signals being sent for writting a 1 to pot 0:
PIC16F676 analog AC inputs detecting problem – I am having a problem with a PIC16f676 controller for detecting an analog input to RA0, RA1, and RA2. It’s working well only in RA0 and RA1. I think its comparator output pin is not detecting input AC voltage. Read more
How to build a board for any microcontroller – I want to learn how can I build a microcontroller based board. I have a project where I want to read some sensor values, drive some motors, and transfer my data through Wi-Fi, Ethernet, etc. I am looking for a fundamental way to learn circuit design and the building of any boards I like with any microcontroller I choose.
