Reference designs for industrial systems added to TI’s library
TI is branding the designs as the “Power to Innovate”; they include;
GaN-based power system designs, from AC to processor
The first end-to-end high-frequency gallium nitride (GaN) power solution efficiently manages power from AC to point-of-load in space-constrained industrial, telecom and networking applications. Achieving a 3x power density as compared to existing solutions, four separate reference designs are based on TI’s LMG5200 80-V, 10-A integrated GaN FET power stage and LMG3410 high-voltage GaN power stage solutions. More at, “Rethink compute density with GaN.”
480-W bi-directional power conversion for energy storage
The Ultra-Compact, Bi-Directional DC/DC Converter reference design is capable of delivering 480W/in³ with 97% efficiency in local energy storage (LES) and lithium battery back-up power applications, specifically for server power supply units. The 1-inch-cube reference design is based on a two-phase interleaved half-bridge power stage controlled by TI’s UCD3138A digital power controller.
Smart thermostat 24-V AC power stage
An Ultra-Low Iq, 24-V AC Power Stage reference design takes advantage of a wide input range voltage converter and battery fuel gauge to optimize smart thermostat, video doorbells and gateway systems used in building. The design features TI’s LM5166 synchronous buck converter with a maximum input voltage of 65V to help HVAC systems withstand transients, and a low quiescent current of less than 10µA to maximize light-load efficiency.
PoE for industrial LED lighting for smart buildings
In Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, TI has an IEEE 802.3bt-compliant, PoE-enabled LED lighting ballast demonstration with power and data path features. The reference design helps engineers intelligently manage LED ballasts over Ethernet to light industrial automation designs, and maintain low power consumption during standby.
EV charging, USB-Type C
In addition to the GaN-based and smart power designs, TI has developed reference designs focused on faster and cooler electric vehicle charging, USB-Type C applications and isolation technology based on its (recently announced here) ISOW7841 for protection relay and smart grid applications. A blog post, “The power to innovate industrial designs,” details of these power designs for industrial systems.
