SI871XSDIP6-KIT

Evaluation and Demonstration Boards and Kits

The SI871XSDIP6-KIT is an evaluation and demonstration board designed to explore the concept of power supply voltage hold-up time based on external capacitors. The board is equipped with the ARrow SI871xSX offering a classic on/off signal from the yellow push button. The SI871XSDIP6-KIT works with logic level inputs (push button) connected in parallel with on/off signal and also with three external capacitor combinations (101F/470F, 180F/220F, 220F/220F).

Application Field

This evaluation and demonstration board is primarily meant for evaluating the power supply hold-up time based on the external capacitor combinations which further helps in determining the best possible solution for the system. The kit can be used to realize the power supply failure signal in conjunction with the capacitors. The kit is beneficial in evaluating the power supply hold-up time of different types of system applications. It is most suitable for designing applications such as uninterruptible power supply (UPS), automotive power solutions, industrial power systems, battery backup solutions, high-voltage power supply systems and telecom power solutions among others.

Working Principle

The working principle behind SI871XSDIP6-KIT is to evaluate the power supply hold-up time based on chosen capacitor combination and supplies. The kit has an on/off signal LED and push button having a logic level input connected in parallel with the on/off signal. It has three possible capacitor combinations (101F/470F, 180F/220F, 220F/220F) that can be used to evaluate the power supply hold-up time based on the type of system application being tested. In order to determine the hold-up time, the input voltage should be connected and stabilized to the board before disconnecting it. Then the on/off signal LED and the push button must be pressed at the same time to help in getting the hold-up time. By monitoring the output signal of the on/off LED, the power supply hold-up time can then be measured.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the SI871XSDIP6-KIT is an evaluation and demonstration board that is used to evaluate the power supply hold-up time based on external capacitor combinations. It is suitable for evaluating the power supply hold-up time of different types of system applications such as uninterruptible power supply (UPS), automotive power solutions, industrial power systems, battery backup solutions, high-voltage power supply systems and telecom power solutions. The board has an on/off signal LED and push button with a logic level input connected in parallel with the on/off signal. The hold-up time can be evaluated by connecting the input voltage, pushing the on/off signal LED and push button at the same time and then monitoring the output signal of the on/off LED.
