Board System Monitoring for Temperature and Voltage Condition

This is a circuit of board system monitoring for temperature and voltage condition. It uses the NE1617A. The NE1617A is a 2 channel temperature sensor. It can measure remote and internal sensor. It also supports up to nine devices per bus. The temperature data update is selectable from 125 ms to 16 seconds, if it is used in normal operation. […]

Power-Fail and Low-Line Signals

This is a circuit of Power-Fail and Low-Line Signals. This circuit is used to warn the processor when the power failure or a brownout is occurs. The processor will enter a power-down routine, when either of those signals interrupts the processor. Back up important data prior to the POR placing the processor in reset and cease its current  activities are […]

Reducing L200 Power Dissipation using Series Resistor

It’s good to reduce the power dissipated by the device. Using resistor connected in series to the input (the left figure) is a simple and economic method to reduce the device input-output differential voltage. Here’s the formula for calculating R: R= [Vi min- (Vo+Vdrop)]/Io Vdrop = minimum differential voltage between the input and the output of the device at current […]
