1 Track Title Abstract Design principles to develop an accurate flow meter for industrial applications using ultrasonic technology Flow meters are primarily classified as industrial and residential within the industrial market. Several end-equipments (EE) come under the flow-meter category, but the most common are water (fluid), gas and heat-meters. These flow-meters are further classified for applications within grid or factory automation depending on the specifications. In this session, we will discuss the various types of flow-meters, various sub-systems inside flow-meters and go deep into the ultrasonic measurement sub-system. We will discuss design considerations, customer requirements, design challenges and competitive landscape for TI s offering. Since most of these EE are battery powered, we will also explain steps to achieve the lowest power in combination with the best accuracy.

5 PCB layout for switch-mode power supplies The Printed Circuit Board is usually the single most complex custom component in a PSU system but its design is often suboptimal. This gives rise to poor performance, generation of excess electrical noise and poor EMI performance. The poor performance is often attributed to the TI PSU controller when the real cause lies elsewhere. A poor layout frequently causes schedule delays due to the time needed to implement corrections. There are a small number of key factors or rules that must be observed in order to design a successful layout. The presentation will look at several of the most common topologies, both isolated and non-isolated and identify the critical features of each, loops with high di/dt, nodes with high dv/dt etc. Typical prioritizations will be presented which should be followed during the layout process. A general approach to a PCB layout will be presented and at least one PCB layout example will be examined in detail. Designing high side switch solutions: driving, protecting and diagnosing industrial and automotive loads Smart high side switches are used in very large volumes (billions of units annually) in industrial and automotive applications to control, diagnose and protect various loads. The requirements on the load drive, current measurement, overload protection and thermal system design also span a wide spectrum. In this presentation, we will explain the nature of the loads typically seen in PLC, body, lighting and infotainment/adas applications and the performance specifications and protection features. We will then learn how to design to specific careabouts for each type of load. Understanding, measuring, and reducing output noise in DC/DC switching regulators A technical overview of circuit protection and EMC requirements You think LDOs are simple? Think again! Here is why. Noise generated from the switching power supply can be a bloodcurdling concern for the users of power systems. People fear noise from switching regulators, but those are ubiquitous and typically the only option to get a high efficiency power solution. The fear of noise arises partly from the lack of in-depth understanding of the operation and the parasitic elements of the DC/DC regulators. This lack of understanding often leads to bad decisions and poor executions in terms of board layout, choice of passive components and filtering techniques. This presentation will provide the audience with a practical approach to solving the noise problem using a three-step process. First we will help understand the noise sources with regards to the switching regulator operation. Next, we will look at implementing proper measurement techniques to help differentiate between real and fake noise. Finally, we will look at ways to reduce output noise by board layout, passive component selection, and post filtering techniques. Practical examples will be shown throughout. This presentation will cover how isolation is used in PLCs, Solar, Motor Drives, Automotive Battery, Grid and functional circuits for each using released and roadmap products that are most suited for each equipment sector. We ll also talk about key system level considerations, such as EMC, and how they impact isolated systems differently from non-isolated systems. Along the way, we ll briefly revisit key isolation terminologies and standards. What is more important Noise or PSRR? (Hint: it depends). When to use an LDO when you could simply use a ferrite bead instead? (it s complicated). What happens to LDO performance in dropout? (it s not good). We will also cover the latest and greatest in the LDO world with an emphasis on how to effectively use find the right devices for your application.
