Epiq Solutions’ new Matchstiq Z3u

Matchstiq Z3u breaks the mold and reimagines what is possible for SWaP-constrained signal processing application development and use cases, supporting both stand-alone operation as well as deployments when attached to a mobile computing platform.

ROLLING MEADOWS, Ill. (PRWEB)
September 17, 2020

Epiq Solutions, an engineering firm developing cutting edge RF tools for situational awareness and detailed insight into RF environments, today introduces Matchstiq Z3u, the newest member of the Matchstiq family of flexible, application-ready software defined radio (SDR) platforms. Matchstiq Z3u helps engineering teams accelerate their development schedule and time to market by providing a flexible RF platform in a mobile-ready form factor. This allows these engineering teams to focus on their signal processing application development instead of the complexities of developing size, weight, and power (SWaP) constrained SDR platforms.

Matchstiq Z3u combines a Xilinx® Zynq® UltraScale+™ System on Chip (SoC) with quad-core ARM CPU running Ubuntu Linux, Analog Devices’ AD9361 RFIC, integrated Rx pre-select filters, GPS disciplined oscillator, 10 MHz + PPS inputs, and a USB 3.0 OTG interface. Applications can execute locally on the Zynq US+ SoC, or remotely on a host device such as a cell phone, tablet, or laptop by connecting to Matchstiq Z3u over USB 3.0. Both eMMC (128 GB) and an externally accessible microSD card slot are included to provide multiple data storage options. Power can be provided to the platform through the USB-C interface, or via an external DC power input port. The entire platform including its custom aluminum housing measures just 3.64” x 2.74” x 0.75” and comes with a magnetic mounting option to attach it to a host device.

“Matchstiq Z3u breaks the mold and reimagines what is possible for SWaP-constrained signal processing application development and use cases, supporting both stand-alone operation as well as deployments when attached to a mobile computing platform”, stated John Orlando, CEO and co-founder at Epiq Solutions. “This platform builds upon Epiq’s 10+ years of experience developing innovative SDR solutions our customers can trust, and we are excited to continue pushing the bounds when it comes to size, weight, and power constrained RF solutions.”

A complete Platform Development Kit (PDK) with Linux board support package (BSP), open API and FPGA reference design source code is available to allow customers to develop their own signal processing applications for Matchstiq Z3u. This PDK leverages the same API and FPGA reference design used with Epiq’s Sidekiq portfolio of SDR modules, providing a familiar interface for existing customers.

Matchstiq Z3u continues the tradition of the Matchstiq family of RF platforms by offering high performance signal processing capability in a small and lightweight package. It is available for order now with production units shipping in fourth quarter of 2020.

The SZ1130 has seen exceptional customer demand. The technical sales team has been working directly with customers’ designs demonstrating the ACF controllers, delivering over 94% efficiency with an all-silicon design and 30 W/in3 power density at 65 W for universal input AC/DC power adapters.

SAN DIEGO (PRWEB)
September 17, 2020

Silanna Semiconductor, The Power Density Leader, today announced the full production release of the industry-leading expanded portfolio of Active Clamp Flyback Controllers (ACF). Silanna Semiconductor focuses on the ultimate power management challenges with best-in-class power density and efficiency that delight customers with unprecedented BoM savings. First announced in April 2020, Silanna Semiconductor has achieved full production release of the SZ1130 ACF PWM controllers, delivering on the customer expectations and market penetration of Active Clamp Flyback Controllers.

SZ1130 devices are ACF controllers that integrate an adaptive digital PWM controller and the following Ultra High-Voltage (UHV) components: an Active Clamp FET, Active Clamp Gate Driver, and a Startup Regulator. This unprecedented integration level facilitates designing efficient, high-power-density adapters with low BoM cost to satisfy power-hungry mobile phones, tablets, notebooks, and video game consoles.

The SZ1130 has seen exceptional customer demand. The technical sales team has been working directly with customers’ designs demonstrating the ACF controllers, delivering over 94% efficiency with an all-silicon design and 30 W/in3 power density at 65 W for universal input AC/DC power adapters. All this, alongside the extensive AC/DC and DC/DC products are available at the demo room at https://www.powerdensity.com.

“We were looking for an extremely powerful product that can charge our devices very quickly. We established that the SZ1130 is very dense yet can handle up to 65 W of output power with quick charge applications,” said Tony Wu, Chief Technology Officer of Heytech, the Shenzhen based design house providing state-of-art power supply solutions to Major ODMs in China. “We feel confident using the SZ1130 due to the all-silicon design and 30 W/in3 power density at 65 W output power. Not only does this provide high speed, but the silicon has temperature resistant properties, which is of great importance to us.”

The device provides the ease-of-design of a simple flyback controller with all the benefits of an Active Clamp Flyback design, including recycling the leakage inductance energy of the flyback transformer and limiting the primary FET drain voltage spike during the turn-off events. Employing Silanna Semiconductor’s OptiModeTM digital control architecture, the SZ1130 adjusts the device’s mode of operation on a cycle-by-cycle basis to maintain high efficiency, low EMI, fast dynamic load regulation, and other key power supply parameters in response to varying line voltage and load. The SZ1130 is fully supported by the Silanna Semiconductor’s Asian Center of Excellence (ACE) design support center. The technical sales team and design software make the SZ1130 an easy option for customers.

“Unlike conventional ACF designs, tight tolerances of the clamp capacitor and leakage inductance values are not required for proper operation of the circuit in high volume production,” said Ahsan Zaman, Director of Marketing. “The SZ1130 is well-suited for high efficiency and high power density AC/DC power adapters. The devices are designed for 65 W (SZ1130) output power, including USB-PD and Quick Charge applications.”

SZ1130-based AC/DC power supplies easily meet the stringent DoE and CoC efficiency and no-load standby power requirements.

Key Features:

• Integrated UHV Active Clamp FET, Active Clamp Driver, and Start-up Regulator

-Capable of Over 94% Efficiency

• Flat Efficiency Across Universal (90 – 265 Vac) Input Voltage and Load
• Up to 146 kHz Switching Frequency Operation
• OptiMode™ Cycle-by-Cycle Adaptive Digital Control
• Self-Tuning Valley Mode Switching (VMS)
• Multi-Mode Operation (Burst Mode, QR, VMS)
• > 6dB EMI Margin
• OTP, OVP, OCP, OPP, and Output Short Circuit Protections
• < 50 mW No Load Power Consumption
• 65 W Output Power
• 16-pin SOIC Package

Applications

• High Power Density AC/DC Power Supplies
• High-Efficiency Power Adapters
• USB-PD/QC AC/DC Power Adapters

About printed OLED displays

OLED is a self-illuminating device that delivers superb picture quality with high contrast, high color reproducibility, and fast response rate. It also combines advantages such as an ultra-thin profile, light weight, and flexibility. Owing to these characteristics, OLED is gaining attention as a next-generation display that will create new applications in a wide range of fields.

The printing method, which is one of the production methods for OLED display, applies and forms OLED materials by printing. With its simple production processes and the flexibility to cope with diverse screen sizes, the technology is expected to represent a major innovation in OLED display production. JOLED specializes in research and development of the printing method and was the first to achieve practical use ahead of other companies in 2017.
