PCI Express 2.0 validation introduces new challenges to the validation and debug of silicon and systems integrating PCI Express devices.  Methods for checking command and data signaling and signal integrity are becoming more important for DDR2/3 SDRAM design success.  This webinar introduces the latest tools and techniques for digital validation and debug of PCI Express and

The TPS54386EVM is a dual non-synchronous buck converter providing fixed 5- and 3.3-V output at up to 2A each from a 12-V input bus. TPS54386EVM is designed to demonstrate the TPS54386 in a typical 12-V bus system while providing a number of test points to evaluate its performance in a given application.

The TPS54231 DC/DC converter is designed to provide up to a 2A output from an input voltage source of 3.5-28V. The TPS54231EVM-372 is designed to demonstrate the small printed-circuit-board areas that may be achieved when designing with the regulator. The switching frequency is internally set at a nominal 570 kHz.

The TPS55383EVM-363 is a dual non-synchronous buck converter providing fixed 5 and 3.3-V output at up to 3A each from a 12-V input bus. The EVM is designed to start up from a single supply, so no additional bias voltage is required and it uses a regulated 12-V (+10% /-20%) bus to produce two regulated power rails.

The MC-78F0712-Kit is a single-board, all-in-one, low-voltage motor control evaluation kit, targeted specifically at low-power motor control applications. This kit is a comprehensive and easy-to-use package that provides everything you need to quickly get started testing and running a motor.

Designers of LED lighting are always looking for ways to reduce the cost and size of the power management solution in applications that use more than one LED. NEC Electronics has recently developed a solution that reduces both. The new 8-bit high-current driving (HCD)/LED microcontroller is a 4-channel constant-current driver with embedded flash memory integrated into a single chip for maximum savings of cost and space.

This device, with a high-performance flash microcontroller and 4-channel constant high-current driver, offers valuable benefits such as control intelligence, lighting efficiency and cost and space savings, and is supported by a complete hardware and software development tool set that provides a user-friendly development environment for shortening time to market of LED lighting products.

This catalog provides information on the broad range of cost-saving and high-quality NEC Electronics microcontrollers with reliable flash memory, advanced features and supporting development tools. The catalog can be ordered in hardcopy form or downloaded.

The TPS54160EVM-230 helps designers evaluate the operation and performance of the TPS54160 DC/DC converter. TPS54160 is a wide input voltage 3.5 - 60V, 2.5MHz, step down converter capable of 1.5A of output current. The top converter on the EVM is designed to operate from a 42VDC+/- 25% input voltage and the bottom converter from 6 V to 60 V.
