]]> Wed, 16 Jan 2013 05:33:15 -0600 CY8CLED0xx0x: Topology and Design Guide for Circuits using PowerPSoC® http://www.cypress.com/?rID=35404

Cypress’s PSoC® family of devices is well established in the field of programmable mixed-signal microcontroller-based technology. The traditional method of implementing power management in high-brightness LED (HB LED) lighting systems involves using similar system-on-chip devices to interface with high-power discrete devices, such as constant current drivers and MOSFET switches.

In PowerPSoC®, the classic PSoC core is combined with high-performance power electronics. This results in an integrated intelligent power electronics solution in a single QFN package. PowerPSoC significantly reduces the bill of material (BOM) cost, part count, and board space when implementing power management systems, while retaining performance. This family of devices (CY8CLED0xx0x) combines up to four independent channels of constant current drivers.

The level of integration and versatility offered by PowerPSoC simplifies design considerably, making it accessible to designers who are less familiar with the power electronics domain. This document addresses the three key topologies supported by PowerPSoC: floating load buck, floating load buck-boost, and grounded boost. It also provides guidelines to address other system considerations, such as working with a 5-V input system and reduction in system wire count. By becoming familiar with the issues and following the guidelines in these chapters, designers can improve the integrity of their designs and achieve first-pass success.

The Cypress Programmable System-on-Chip (PSoC®) family of devices is well established in programmable mixed-signal microcontroller based devices. The traditional method to implement power management systems involves the use of a similar system-on-chip to interface with high power discrete devices such as constant current drivers and MOSFET switches.

]]> Wed, 12 Dec 2012 02:24:33 -0600 CY8CLED0xx0x PowerPSoC® – Hardware Design Guidelines http://www.cypress.com/?rID=35361  

In PowerPSoC,  the classic PSoC core is combined with high-performance power electronics. This results in an integrated intelligent power electronics solution in a single QFN package. The intent of PowerPSoC is to significantly reduce the BOM 
cost, part count, and board space for implementing power management systems while retaining performance. CY8CLED04D01 family of devices combines up to four independent channels of constant current drivers. 
 
The level of integration and versatility offered by PowerPSoC can lead to considerable simplification of design, thus allowing the designers  who are less familiar with power electronics domain to venture into these designs. In order to avoid 
oversimplification and/or overlooking of certain fundamental system-level considerations, Cypress offers this document to address the following four key issues in any power conversion system design: thermal, layout, transient handling, and ESD. 
By gaining familiarity with the issues and employing suggested techniques and guidelines in these chapters, the designers will certainly improve the integrity of their designs and likelihood of first pass success.
