Driver Improves Nand Flash Application Development

Evatronix has introduced the latest release of the software driver for its Nand Flash memory controller IP core. The driver supports all functionalities of the controller and introduces features to facilitate Nand Flash application development. The Evatronix Nand Flash memory controller software driver is written entirely in ANSI C for operating system independence. It natively supports memories from manufacturers such as Numonyx, Samsung, Micron and Toshiba, but with a unified set of commands it can be configured to support custom memory chips.

The latest release of the driver features a set of configurable options for best fit to customer's application. These options include support for implementation of an indirect DMA buffer, DMA and Bad Block Scan modules, as well as for configurable system clock frequencies. The release also allows software configuration of hardware ECC (Error Correction Code) settings. The Evatronix Nand Flash memory controller provides support for single- and multi-level cell memories and for high-speed Nand Flash memories that reach up to 200 MT/s.

The controller is compatible with the Onfi 2.2 specification for compatibility with Micron and Numonyx memory chips and features support for memories from other manufacturers. The controller features an internal OCP socket for implementation into any system bus. A set of wrappers for AMBA AHB, OPB, PLB, Avalon and Flexbus system buses is also available.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
