The new devicesand comprehensive support package help customers create high-perormancedesigns in less time.

Microchips dsPIC33E DSCs and PIC24E MCUs are ully compatible with the existing broad portolio o dsPIC33F DSCs andPIC24H/PIC24F MCUs, sotware libraries and tools, providing a solid growth path or current customers. The new USB 2.0 On-The-Go (OTG) peripheral enables a connection to a PC, Flash drive and other USB-enabled devices, and 60 MIPS perormance meansthe new devices support high-end industrial and commercial applications, such as Servo motor control, solar inverters, and runningdual 3-phase motors in parallel. Additionally, a new, independent Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) mode supports multiple steppermotors and dead-time compensation, which reduces sotware overhead. Three on-chip analog comparators urther reduce systemcost and the number o external components required.

The rst dsPIC33 and PIC24 E devices include our each o the SPI and UART interaces, as well as two I2C interaces. A newauxiliary Flash module enables designers to program or erase Flash data without slowing normal CPU operation, which is criticalor motor-control, power-conversion and many other applications that require on-the-fy programming. Improved Direct MemoryAccess (DMA) unctionality automatically starts linked DMA operations, and the improved debugger capability enables complexbreakpoints or aster debugging. Additionally, with enhanced timer capabilities, the dsPIC33 and PIC24 E devices Input-Captureand Output-Compare modules are more fexible and powerul.

The dsPIC33E USB Starter Kit (part # DM330012) and PIC24E USB Starter Kit (part # DM240012) can be used or stand-alonedevelopment and also work with Microchip development platorms such as its Multimedia Expansion Board (part # DM320005) toenable the development o high-impact user interaces.

http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/AppNotes/01030a.pd

Oset Voltage and Open-Loop Gain Critical AmpliferParameters or Strain Gauge ApplicationsThe world o data acquisition is extremely diverse, encompassingmeasurements o temperature, pressure, humidity, strain and a variety o otherphysical phenomenon. System designers must be diligent in not only selectingthe correct sensor or their application, but also in designing appropriate signal

conditioning to deal with these issues.Introduction to Strain GaugesBeore jumping into a discussion o ampliiers and signal conditioning circuitry,it is worthwhile to quickly review strain gauges. By deinition, strain is analteration due to an external orce. A strain gauge uses electrical resistance inorder to quantiy the amount o strain caused by an external orce. This changein resistance can then be measured and the magnitude o the applied orcequantiied.

Offset Voltage and Open-Loop GainDepending upon the output swing o the bridged gauges and the ull-scale inputo the ADC, the analog signal may need ampliication by 500 times or more. In

addition, the circuitry must provide adequate headroom so that the signal doesnot saturate the ampliier or the ADC. Several considerations must be madewhen selecting an ampliier or ampliiers to use in a gain stage.

First, due to the high amount o gain that may be required, the oset voltageo the ampliier becomes critical. Any voltage oset due to the ampliier will bemultiplied by the gain. For example, an ampliier that has an oset o 1 mV andconiguration or a gain o 500 times would produce an error voltage o 0.5V atthe output o the ampliier. For a strain gauge bridge that produces 10 mV atull scale, the ampliier-oset error could result in a measurement error o 10percent.

Secondly, the ampliier must have enough open-loop gain to provide the required

ampliication, while still maintaining perormance. For a typical ampliier, theopen-loop gain remains constant over a certain requency range and thenbegins to roll o at 20 dB per decade. Most general-purpose ampliiers have anopen- loop gain o 100 dB to 120 dB. Such an ampliier can handle a gain o500, as mentioned above, but would probably limit the overall perormance othe system.

For example, assume an ampliier has an open-loop gain o 120 dB. We willalso assume that the bandwidth o the ampliier is suicient to not be a actoror the requency o interest, at a gain o 500. A gain o 500 is approximately54 dB, so 54 dB o the ampliiers open-loop gain is dedicated to providing gain.

The remaining 66 dB is the open-loop-gain margin that is available to ensurelinearity, as shown in Figure 1.

This implies that the ampliier is linear to approximately one part in 2000, orabout 11 bits. To get around this limitation, a system designer can select an

ampliier with more open-loop gain. Although such ampliiers exist, they arenot widely available and may not be cost eective. Another solution is to usemultiple-gain stages to achieve the overall desired gain, such as a traditionaltwo or three ampliier instrumentation topology. Perhaps a better solutionwould be to use an instrumentation ampliier, which is speciically designedto provide high gain and good perormance, and generally has better voltageoset and drit perormance relative to a discrete instrumentation ampliiercircuit.

ConclusionStrain gauges are ound in a wide variety o applications, rom electronic scalesto measuring the torque on a steel beam. Each application presents its own

design requirements and challenges. When selecting an ampliier to providesignal conditioning, it is imperative to ensure that the ampliier can provide therequired gain and still maintain acceptable linearity.

DIY: Power Your Projects with the SunLimor Fried of Adafruit Industries Tells Us How

You may recognize Limor Fried a.k.a. Ladyadabecause she was eatured as the very irst emaleengineer ever on the cover o Wired Magazine in theApril 2011 issue. Ladyada is known to be a pioneerin the Open Source Electronics and DIY revolution.

She started out as a Maker and eventually startedAdaruit Industries, a company located in New YorkCity that sells kits and hardware or original, open-source electronics projects.

The purpose o this article is not only to introduceyou to Adaruit Industries, but also to a reallycool and inexpensive (20 USD) way to power yourelectronic projects by the sun. Limor shares her USB,DC and Solar Lipology Charger design that eatures

Microchips MCP73781, a Stand-Alone System Load Sharing andLi-Ion/Li-Polymer Battery Charge Management Controller. Below you will ind

design details ollowed by her design notes.Introduction

Make your projects to go green this summer with Adaruits specialized USB/Solar Lithium Ion Polymer Battery charger! This charger is a very unique design,perect or outdoor projects, or DIY iPod chargers. Over a year o testing andtinkering went into this charger to come up with a plug and play solution tocharging batteries with the sun and Adaruit is very pleased with the end result.

Want it simple? Pick up any o Adafruit's many3.7V/4.2V LiIon batteries, and a 6V solar panel. Plugthe battery into the BATT port using a 2-pin JST cableand the solar panel into the DC jack. Put the solar

panel outside (and keep the battery out o the sun, itneeds to be kept shaded!) to star t charging. You canpower another project like a Mintyboost at the sametime by connecting to the LOAD output port

y 3.7V/4.2V Lithium Ion or Lithium Polymer battery charger

y Charge with 5-6V DC, USB or solar panel!

y Too dark out? Use a USB mini-B cable or a 5V DC adapter

y Automatic charging current tracking or high eiciency use o any wattagesolar panel

y Use any 5-6V solar panel (6V seems to work best)

y Three color indicator LEDs Power good, Charging and Done

y Low Battery Indicator (ixed at 3.1V) with LED output

y Set or 500mA max charge rate, can be adjusted rom 50mA up to 1A bysoldering in a resistor

y Will always draw the most current possible rom a solar cell up to themax charge rate!

y Smart load sharing automatically uses the input power when available, tokeep battery rom constantly charging/discharging

y Temperature monitoring o battery by soldering in a 10K NTC thermistor or outdoor projects where the battery may get hot (50C) or cold (0C)

A Solar-powered Mintyboost PCB Reverse

Is this a Max Power Point Tracker (MPPT)?

This design is not a 'true' MPPT, and we did that or a reason! Max power pointtrackers work by 'tracking' the voltage and current curve o a solar panel sothat the total Power (Voltage * Current) is maximized. This means that as thelight changes, the voltage and current must be careully tracked. In general, the

way controllers perorm MPPT is to have a DC/DC converter that's becauseto have the best power conversion you'll want DC/DC not linear converters(that lose any excess voltage as heat). For example, say you want to chargea 6V lead acid battery and you have a 12V (approx) panel. The voltage willrange between 9V and 14V depending on current draw and visible light. Thebuck converter will do its best to keep the current draw so that the total poweravailable at the output is maximized.

Microchip MASTERs ConferenceCelebrates 15 years of Continuous Education

This August, engineers rom around the world will once again descend upon Phoenix orMicrochips MASTERs Conerence as we celebrate the 15th anniversary o the Conerence. Therst MASTERs Conerence was held back in 1997 and we have come a long way since then. Justto give you an idea o how long ago that was, in 1997 Clinton was president, the Packers had wonthe super bowl, we were still using Windows 95 and everyone was reading the rst Harry Potterstory. The words Blog, Twitter and iPod did not exist.

The MASTERs Conerence was born rom an idea to bring Microchip engineers rom ourHeadquarter acility and rom our eld oces together with our customers and Design Partners

and create an environment where we could all learn more about Microchip products andembedded control topics in general. That rst year we oered 38 dierent classes and had about190 attendees. The conerence ran or 2 days with optional classes on Saturday.

Fast orward to today where we are already preparing or the 2011 MASTERs in August. This yearwe will ll the largest hotel in Phoenix or the 4th consecutive year. We will bring more than 250

Microchip engineers rom all over the world together with more than 600 customers and designpartners or 5 days o technical training and oer more than 90 dierent classes. The MASTERsConerence is one o the most unique, well respected technical conerences. Weve come a longway in 15 years and we hope you can attend this August to enjoy the MASTERs experience.

expertise level o the attendee. Microchips Regional Training Center classes

are developed to provide a coordinated fow, enabling engineers to implement

a solution to their product development needs. Instruction is developed and

presented in product, technology and implementation classes that are grouped

into application based curriculum.

Each curriculum fow enables the individual to engage with the training at a level

that meets his or her current knowledge and needs. The intent is to provide

Looking to Enhance Your Embedded Control Designs?training that is relevant to each attendee while eliminating the rustration oten

associated with attending classes that present too much known inormation or

assume a level o knowledge beyond what the attendee currently possesses.

Product/tool classes provide knowledge on how Microchips products and

development tools operate. This knowledge provides the oundation upon

which all application instruction is based. Attendance at one o these classescan provide signicant value through the reduction in time associated with

instruction manuals and data sheet review or trial and error attempts to learn

individually. Market orces constantly press companies to add unctionality and

eatures to their products oten outside their areas o core competence. As a

result, engineers must continually broaden their knowledge base. Microchips

technology classes are intended to help engineers gain an understanding o a

new eld.

Implementation classes combine elements o product and technology instruction

to teach engineers how to design a real world application. Classes at this level

provide how-to instruction rather than what or why instruction.

Microchip is currently oering classes in the ollowing curriculum: DSP, Ethernet,Human Interace, Motor Control, Power Management, Signal Chain, System

Design and USB. Future curriculum is expected to include CAN/LIN, IrDA,

Lighting and RF.

With a worldwide network o Regional Training Centers and certied third-party

trainers, Microchip makes it easy to enhance your technical skills, with locations

in nearly every metropolitan area across the world!

For those organizations who desire to have a number o employees attend

a course at the same time, Microchip can customize any curriculum to meet

your specic needs. Our instructors arrive at your location with all presentation

materials and equipment, making it easy or your whole team to benet roma specic course topic in one setting. In addition to the instruction, most

Regional Training Center classes oer the opportunity to purchase a set o the

development tools used in the class at a discounted price.
