3.3V PSU Ripple Consequence

My main concern about the 3.3V PSU ripple is this schematics. It is the current sensor of my MC4X15A Motor Controller. As 3.3V is used as reference and ripple I might see sensor variations I don’t want – basically adding to the sensor noise.

3.3V PSU on MC4X15A

This scope pic is from the 3.3V on my MC4X15A – Universal Motor Controller. The MCU is running and I have the 0.33F Supercap mounted. Ca 200mV point to point ripple is to much for my taste, but it works and this is far better than I have measured out of the Lab PSU’s. I…

LMR14206 – 12V DC/DC

I decided to test my LMR14206 based DC/DC again and replaced the 15uH inductor with a 47uH inductor on the 12V design. The scope pictures was a shock: This first scope picture show what I saw as 12V out. It is 12.2V, but look at that ripple picture of several voltages. To compare I scoped…

Raspberry PI Wiring

This shows a Raspberry PI 3 with a Communication Hat, Display and mini keyboard. This is basically all the hardware I need for a very advanced CAN Adapter & Analyzer. The main reasons I am skeptical is the wiring needed on this solution. Using a HDMI display is very powerfully, but you need a large…

Galvanic RS485/CAN

Since we talk about galvanic RS485 & CAN Adapter’s I guess it is time to visit this project as well. The universal adapter below was something I started last time I needed CAN. This adds W5500 and ESP12-E + NRF in addition to CAN & RS485. I never made a revision of this Board, but…

Not so mini CAN Adapter

This is the same drawing as the previous post, but I added the TF Card option. Basically this is a small mini-computer Complete With display, keyboard (in the display), Wifi, Storage etc. Just for the record it actually got more “disk” and RAM than my first IBM Compatible PC. I have never done a TF-card…
