Nvidia recruits TI for 800Vdc data centre

Nvidia 800V data centre

Texas Instruments has joined the companies working with Nvidia on 800Vdc data centres. 800Vdc power-distribution architecture will provide the power density and conversion efficiency that future AI processors require, while minimizing the growth of the power supply’s size, weight and complexity,” said TI. Nvidia’s proposal is to convert 13.8kVac grid power directly to 800Vdc at the data centre perimeter. Compared with ...

PocketBeagle 2 gets a quad core upgrade, and a GPU

PocketBeagle 2 revA0 board photo

PocketBeagle 2 has quietly been given a quad core upgrade. Initially built around Texas Instrument’s AM6232 IC, which has dual 64bit 1GHz Arm Cortex-A53 CPUs, the development board has been upgraded to TI’s AM6254, which has four of the same cores running at 1.4GHz, plus a 3D GPU that it did not have at the original launch. The change happened ...

PCIM: Automotive LLC controller

TI UCC25661x-Q1 LLC controller app

At PCIM in Nuremberg this week, Texas Instruments announced an automotive-qualified LLC controller for light electric vehicle charging, and demonstrated it in a three-stage ac-dc battery charger for electric two-wheelers. (LLC is an inductor-inductor-capacitor topology, see diagram) “But despite the benefits that the LLC topology can offer, including minimal standby power and low audible noise, electric vehicle manufacturers have been ...

More on: Isolated ADCs measure mV with a ±200V offset

TI AMC0106M05 isolated adc block

Texas Instruments is aiming at robot motor control up to 60V with a series of isolated ADCs that include 200V barriers and come in 8pad 3.5 x 2.7mm VSON packaging. Each has a ΣΔ ADC on the hot side, an isolation barrier, then a digital interface on the cool side. The output is a modulated bit stream synchronised to an ...

TI claims first functional isolated modulators

IMG_0542-300x200.webp

Tl says it  has come up with “the first functional isolated modulators”, helping designers achieve more precise motor control in compact robot designs. The AMC0106M05, AMC0136 and AMC0106M25 isolated modulators enable increased precision and higher resolution of 12 to 14 effective number of bits (ENOB) for accurate and reliable phase current sensing and DC voltage sensing measurements. Offered in a ...

Embedded World: ‘World’s smallest MCU’, and it’s 32bit

TI MSPM0C1104 worlds smallest MCU

Texas Instruments is claiming “the world’s smallest” for its latest MCU, which measures 1.6 x 0.86mm (1.38mm2) in its 8pad DSBGA package. Despite this, it has a 24MHz 32bit Arm Cortex-M0+ processor, three 12bit ADC channels (with DMA), four timers and one each: UART, I2C and SPI interfaces. There are actually two devices at this size, the MSPM0C1104S8YCJR with 16kbyte ...

CES: Automotive in-cabin radar in one IC

TI AWRL6844 automotive internal radar

Texas Instruments has announced an in-cabin radar IC for vehicles that includes both RF front-end, signal processing and application processing. Revealed at CES today, AWRL6844 is a 60GHz radar made on a 40nm RF CMOS process and packaged in a 9.1 x 9.1mm BGA. Running AI algorithms locally, it is intended to provide occupancy monitoring for seat belt reminder, child ...
