AN1806 Antenna (and Associated Components) Matching-Circuit Calculation for the CRX14 Coupler

Ionela — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 14:53:46 +0100

In the basic RFID system (as shown in Figure 1):
1. The Reader generates an electromagnetic field. This field is rectified to generate the supply voltage inside the Tag.
2. The Reader transmits information to the Tag by modulating the carrier wave.
3. The Tag back-scatters the carrier wave, by modifying its own impedance thereby perturbing the field, in order to transmit back information to the Reader.

AN1442 Signal Processing with ST10-DSP

Ionela — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 14:50:22 +0100

By providing ST10 micro-controllers with an enhanced 16-bit DSP co-processor STMicroelectronics proposes a powerful solution to a wide range of applications. The ST10 micro-controllers including a DSP
unit are identified with a "2" in the second digit of the variant code like ST10F269.
Most of the algorithms encountered in signal processing such as data acquisition (average, MAX/MIN), signal processing control (PID, PD) and filtering (FIR, IIR) can be easily run with the ST10-DSP micro-controllers. So the ST10-DSP, combined to the well know real-time performances of the ST10-MCU core, efficiently supports demanding applications like electronic steering, suspension, engine control, airbag among a varied list.

AN1335 Using the ST10F280

Ionela — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 14:46:26 +0100

ST10F280 is a new member of ST10 family. This device has been specifically designed for application based on C167 and that now requires signal processing: a timer has been added for signal sampling (automatic triggering of ADC requests on a pre-defined time period). This application note is showing how to design an application using ST10F280. The following aspects are covered and detailed :

AN1119 Correct Power-On and Power-Off for the M93Cxx and M93Sxx

Ionela — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 14:38:12 +0100

This document has been written for those users who have become used to using the members of the ST93C/CSxx and M93C/Sxx family outside of their specifications.

AN1116 Changing from the ST95P08 to the M95080 in Your Application Using a Simple Software Recognition Method

Ionela — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 14:32:51 +0100

The members of the new M95xxx, SPI serial-bus, EEPROM chips offer features that were not available with the ST95xxx family. Table 1 summarizes the main differences between the new 8 Kbit M95080 memory,
and the ST95P08, by way of example. This document is aimed at helping the designer to convert designs from using the ST95P08 to using the M95080. It concludes by indicating a simple algorithm that can be used in the application software to detect which of the two devices is being used.

AN2582 STM32F10xxx USART application examples

Ionela — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 14:29:21 +0100

This application note is intended to provide practical application examples of the STM32F10xxx USART peripheral use. This document, its associated firmware, and other such application notes are written to accompany the STM32F10xxx firmware library. These are available for download from the STMicroelectronics website: www.st.com.

AN471 SMART POWER TECHNOLOGIES FOR POWERTRAIN & BODY ELECTRONICS

Ionela — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 14:24:20 +0100

Smart power ICs are becoming increasing by common in automotive powertrain and body electronics. This note provides a general introduction to the subject. As is well known, electronics is slowly but progressively invading every part of the automotive environment (figure1); entering first in the car radio, it has extended progressively and is now present in all of the subsystems of an automobile. For those people who prefer a "historical" approach, the evolution of auto electronics has been divided into three main sections, each subdivided into various phases, correlated with the state of the art in general electronics at that time. Today, at the beginning of the 90’s we are in the SMART POWER phase, and it is precisely that which we intend to discuss briefly here (see fig. 2).

AN2628 Programming ST10F27x CAN interrupt drivers

Ionela — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 21:37:32 +0100

This application note describes the CAN interrupt drivers of the ST10F27x and provides programming examples that can be used to define interrupt schemes and write interrupt drivers. Two C-CAN modules are implemented on ST10F27x, mapped on XBUS. Interrupt sources, the way the sources of interrupts are identified and the two methods of handling interrupts are described: One using the hardware features of the CAN modules and the other through polling internal sources.

AN2557 STM32F10xxx in-application programming using the USART

Ionela — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 21:32:44 +0100

An important requirement for most Flash-memory-based systems is the ability to update firmware when installed in the end product. This ability is referred to as in-application programming (IAP). The purpose of this application note is to provide general guidelines for creating an IAP application. The STM3210B-EVAL board was used to validate the IAP driver.
