What's New in Harsh-Environment Products
TI recently introduced a new line of devices that can withstand operating temperatures ranging from –55°C to 210°C. TI HiRel continues to expand these offerings to provide a complete signal-chain solution for customers building electronics for use in high-temperature (HT) conditions.

One of the key applications for HT devices is down-hole drilling, for which many different types of electronic instruments are used for oil and gas exploration and extraction. Used for real-time data logging of rock formations and positions, these tools allow data acquisition in extremely harsh environments. The use of many different types of sensors can require multiple channels of signal amplification and analog-to-digital conversion.

A wide variety of TI products are available for down-hole drilling systems and equipment manufacturers, including op amps, digital signal processors (DSPs), microcontrollers, multichannel high-resolution data converters, interface, and power management. For more information, please visit www.ti.com/ht or www.ti.com/dhd.

TPS5450-EP — EP 5-A, Wide-Input-Range, Step-Down SWIFT™ Converter
As a member of the SWIFT family of DC/DC regulators, the TPS5450 is a high-output-current PWM converter that integrates a low-resistance high-side n-channel MOSFET. Included on the substrate with the listed features are a high-performance voltage-error amplifier that provides tight voltage-regulation accuracy under transient conditions; an undervoltage-lockout circuit to prevent startup until the input voltage reaches 5.5 V; an internally set slow-start circuit to limit inrush currents; and a voltage feedforward circuit to improve the transient response. The ENA pin reduces shutdown supply current to 18 µA typically. Other features include an active-high enable, overcurrent limiting, overvoltage protection, and thermal shutdown. To reduce design complexity and external component count, the TPS5450 feedback loop is internally compensated.

The TPS5450 device is available in a thermally enhanced, 8-pin SOIC PowerPAD™ package. TI provides evaluation modules and software tools to aid in achieving high-performance power-supply designs to meet aggressive equipment-development cycles.

CDCM7005-SP — High-Performance Clock Synchronizer and Jitter Cleaner
The CDCM7005 is a high-performance, low-phase-noise and low-skew clock synchronizer that synchronizes a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) or a voltage-controlled crystal oscillator (VCXO) frequency to one of the two reference clocks. The programmable predivider M and the feedback dividers N and P give a high flexibility to the frequency ratio of the reference clock to VC(X)O:

VC(X)O_IN/PRI_REF=(N × P)/M or
VC(X)O_IN/SEC_REF=(N × P)/M

The VC(X)O_IN clock operates at up to 2 GHz. Through the selection of external VC(X)O and loop filter components, the PLL loop bandwidth and damping factor can be adjusted to meet different system requirements.

The CDCM7005 can lock to one of two reference-clock inputs (PRI_REF or SEC_REF) and supports frequency holdover mode and fast frequency locking for fail-safe and increased system redundancy. The outputs of the CDCM7005 are user-definable and can be any combination of up to 5 differential LVPECL outputs or up to 10 LVCMOS outputs. The LVCMOS outputs are arranged in pairs (Y0A:Y0B, Y1A:Y1B,. . .) so that each pair has the same frequency, but each output can be separately inverted and disabled. The built-in synchronization latches ensure that all outputs are synchronized for low output skew.

Features

  • High-performance LVPECL and LVCMOS PLL clock synchronizer
  • Inputs from primary and secondary reference clocks for redundancy support with manual or automatic selection
  • Accepts LVCMOS input frequencies of up to 200 MHz
