Full-Speed USB Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter Series Industry’s Fastest UART Series with USB 2.0 Compliant Bus Interface The XR21V1410 (V1410), XR21V1412 (V1412), and XR21V1414 (V1414) are enhanced 1-channel, 2-channel and 4-channel Universal Asynchronous Receiver and Transmitter (UART) with a USB interface. The USB interface is fully compliant to Full Speed USB 2.0 specification that supports 12 Mbps USB data transfer rate. The USB interface also supports USB suspend, resume and remote wakeup operations. The V141x operates from an internal 48MHz clock therefore no external crystal/oscillator is required like previous generation UARTs. With the fractional baud rate generator, any baud rate can accurately be generated using the internal 48MHz clock. The large 128-byte TX FIFO and 384-byte RX FIFO of the V141x helps to optimize the overall data throughput for various applications. The Automatic Transceiver Direction control feature simplifies both the hardware and software for half-duplex RS-485 applications. The multidrop (9-bit) mode with automatic half-duplex transceiver control feature further simplifies typical multidrop RS-485 applications. The V141x operates from a single 2.97 to 3.63 volt power supply and has 5V tolerant inputs. Virtual COM port drivers for Windows 2000, XP, Vista, and CE, as well as Linux and Mac are supported for the XR21V1410, XR21V1412 and XR21V1414.

GN1406 and GN1407 - Redriver and Retimer Solutions for PCIe Signals across Backplanes and Cables Extend the reach of PCI Express®

PCIe signals running at 2.5Gb/s, 5.0Gb/s and 8.0Gb/s (Gen1, Gen2 and Gen3 respectively) impose tight constraints on systems and PCB design. Generally speaking, the higher the data rate the shorter the distance a good quality signal can be transmitted. To compensate for signal attenuation loss and allow trace lengths to be extended, signal conditioning is required in the data path to adjust signal levels using equalization and de-emphasis techniques. This is where PCIe re-drivers and retimers play an integral part of any system utilizing PCIe data transport across cables and backplanes. Even at Gen1 data rates today, going beyond 18 inches of backplane traces becomes very challenging and at Gen2 data rates these re-drivers/retimers become a must.

LDS6100 / 6120 - PureTouch™ Capacitance Touch IC Family with Integrated LED Drivers Empower system designers to create streamlined, attractive and reliable product designs with capacitive touch controls. The LDS6100/6120 family of capacitance touch controllers is optimized for the implementation of touch-based input controls including sliders, scroll wheels and buttons. A low power programmable capacitance-to-digital converter (CDC) supports up to 20 sensor inputs, 10 of which may be configured as direct communication mode (DCM) outputs that emulate mechanical buttons, enabling streamlined communication of touch events without the need to query the serial interface bus. When configured for capacitive sensing, the touch inputs are directed through an integrated switch matrix to a 500 kHz sigma-delta CDC which senses changes in the external sensor array. When a sufficiently large change in capacitance occurs, a touch event is registered and the host processor is notified via an interrupt pin or DCM output. On the LDS6120 products, a variety of built-in LED lighting effects may be automatically initiated by a touch event with no processor intervention required. On-chip calibration logic continuously monitors the environment and automatically adjusts touch sensitivity to insure robust performance. Proprietary noise-filtering algorithms may also be activated to prevent false sensor activation in noisy system environments. The LDS6100/6120 family is offered with SPI-compatible, I2C-compatible and SMBus-compatible interfaces, selectable in real-time using the I/F select pins. General-purpose input/output (GPIO) and interrupt outputs are also provided for additional communication with the host processor.

Features  Ease-of-use and flexible configurability with optimized, state machine architecture  Longer battery life enabled with ultra-low power consumption  Low BOM cost and minimized solution footprint using bare minimum of external components  Robust touch performance via proprietary noise- filtering algorithms  Customizable visual feedback effects with integrated LED drivers (LDS6120)

LDS6100/6120 Features Versatile, accurate CDC  Up to 20 capacitance sensor inputs  Configurable hysteresis and debounce Ultra-low touch sensor power consumption*  Full power operating mode (typical): <125 μW (VDD1=1.8V)  Shutdown mode (typical): <1 μW (VDD1=1.8V) Integrated, automatic calibration algorithms  Auto environmental compensation  Integrated noise immunity algorithms for high- EMI applications Integrated touch preference modes  Strongest single touch / two touches  Unrestricted (all) touches Built-in slider/scroll support  Location, scroll direction, and 2x interpolation supported natively Integrated LED drivers (LDS6120)  Up to 10 dual-purpose sensor inputs configurable as LED drivers  7.75 mA maximum current per driver  Dimming/blink/heartbeat effects  Individual LED configurability  Host-free synch with touch events

Integrated LED drivers (LDS6120) The LDS6120 products integrate a feature rich, highly configurable LED driver, enabling the implementation of visual feedback for touch-based controls and fun lighting effects using a single controller. The minimum and maximum current, transition times and desired effect are programmable on an individual LED basis, allowing for customized LED behavior for individual buttons. LEDs may be either synchronized to automatically trigger when a touch event occurs or manually controlled using the host processor.

Ideal solution for portable and “green” applications The LDS6100/6120 is optimized for ultra-low power consumption. In full power mode, sensor conversion and calibration occur continuously, minimizing the time between touch event and touch detection. With its ultra-low touch sensor current consumption of <70 μA (typical @1.8V), the LDS6100 products may be operated continuously in full power mode, eliminating the need for introduced latencies that can cause noticeable delays and degrade the user experience. Where power consumption is of the utmost importance, low power modes with configurable latencies may be utilized to further reduce power below 25 μA. The LDS6100/6120 family is optimized for a minimized solution footprint, with the functionality of multiple components consolidated into a single device and a bare minimum of required external passive components. A variety of package options are available including a 4mm x 4mm 28 lead TQFN package, a 5mm x 5mm 40 lead TQFN package (both with 0.75mm package thickness), or a 5.3mm x 10.2mm SSOP package for applications requiring a wider lead pitch.

Nu Horizons Online Learning Center is designed to provide a complete training experience for engineers — without having to leave the office. New supplier trainings are posted twice a month and range from new product overviews to in-depth technical training and potential design implementations. These live trainings are recorded and archived for your viewing convenience.

In order to simplify the design process, Nu Horizons has created a series of application notes designed to guide engineers through the process of interfacing different devices together. Using a detailed step-by-step approach, these design guides identify key elements in the design process. Topics in the application notes are organized by design task and each topic is a stand-alone section, with a short introduction or overview, followed by the step-by-step design guidelines. All steps include a sufficient level of detail to provide the designer with relevant information to proceed quickly and easily from start to finish.

Nu Horizons offers a wide range of development / evaluation boards, tools and kits featuring the latest technology from the most trusted suppliers in the industry. Visit the development tool section of our website for a variety of solutions all aimed at providing a low-cost solution for designers to accelerate a product’s time-to-market.
