  Overview For companies working on package drone delivery solutions, NXP technology provides a way to confirm that drones are operating within authorized airspace corridors, and then to secure an electronic signature before the drone sets down on the ground. The NXP electronic signature solution uses NXP Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to obtain a valid signature for delivery: The consumer would receive an electronic package notification via BLE to their mobile device The drone hovers over the delivery zone until it obtains the electronic signature After receiving the signature, the drone releases the package and returns to the point of origin, or it could travel to a nearby location for a package return Benefits For consumers: Drone delivery equals rapid, as well as reduced cost delivery, however, for both businesses and consumers need a way to verify parcel receipt. NXP’s electronic signature solution is efficient and non-invasive For businesses: Wireless signature confirmation ensures a level of protection of a valuable piece of commercial equipment (the drone), and reduces potential liability for loss due to theft or inaccurate parcel delivery For regulatory bodies: The electronic identification traveling with the drone helps ensure compliance with flight corridor restrictions, especially if those corridors require dynamic mapping   Block Diagram   Recommended Products Category Products Features BLE SoC K32W061/41 MCUs for Zigbee®, Thread, and Bluetooth® Low Energy 5.0 |NXP Multiprotocol RF | NXP  Powered by an Arm® Cortex®-M4 MCU and with 640 KB on-board flash and 152 KB SRAM.   KW39/38/37 32-bit Bluetooth 5.0 Long-Range MCUs|NXP | NXP  Bluetooth Low Energy version 5.0 and generic FSK radio.   QN9090/30(T) Bluetooth 5.0 Low Energy MCU with NFC | NXP  Low energy devices that achieve ultra-low-power consumption and integrate an Arm®Cortex®-M4 CPU Up to 640KB onboard flash and 152 KB SRAM Drone PX4 Robotic Drone FMU | RDDRONE-FMUK66 Proven business-friendly open source software with available enterprise support: PX4, QGroundControl Supports all airframes: Use it for Quadcopters, Hexacopter, VTOL, planes, rovers, cars, and other robots Rapid-IOT to Drone adapter board Rapid-IOT to Drone adapter board Adapter board fully designed for Rapid IoT Prototyping Kit UAVCAN communication between drone and Rapid IOT Works with PX4 flight controllers such as RDDRONE-FMUK66 or Pixhawk NXP Rapid IoT Prototyping Kit Rapid IoT Prototyping Kit Expandable to most IoT end-node use cases with 400+ Click boards Multiple sensors (Gyroscope, Acc/Mag., Barometer/Temp., Air Quality, Ambient light and capacitive touch)

Second place winner A 600W broadband HF amplifier using affordable LDMOS devices (For more information visit: https://qrpblog.com/2019/10/a-600w-broadband-hf-amplifier-using-affordable-ldmos-devices/  ) This project is meant to demonstrate the capabilities of the MRF300 transistors as linear broadband devices in the 2-50MHz range and to be used by radio amateurs as a starting point for a medium-high power amplifier. This is also my entry to the NXP Homebrew RF Design Challenge 2019. To achieve the target of 600W output while also minimizing the level of even-number harmonics, a “push-pull” configuration of two transistors is used. Luckily, the manufacturer made it easy to design the PCB layout for such a thing by offering two versions (the MRF300AN & MRF300BN) that have mirrored pinout. The common TO-247 package is used, with the source connected to the tab. Each individual MRF300 LDMOS transistor is specified at 330W output over a 1.8-250MHz working frequency range, a maximum 28dB of gain and over 70% efficiency. The recommended supply range is 30-50Vdc. By studying the specifications, it looks like with correct broadband matching and some operational safety margin we can get close to 600W output at a voltage of around 45V across a resonably large bandwidth; the aim is to cover 1.8 to 54MHz. Main challenges when designing this amplifier are related to achieving good input and output matching over the entire frequency range as well as maintaining high and flat gain. Good linearity and a low level of harmonic products are mandatory. As the TO-247 is not a package specifically designed for high-power RF, there are some challenges with thermal design and PCB layout as well. Information taken from the essay by the winner. Third place winner A High Efficiency Switchmode RF Amplifier using a MRF101AN LDMOS Device for a CubeSat Plasma Thruster (For more information visit: Research - SuperLab@Stanford ) The Class E amplifier utilizes the active device as a switch, operating in only cutoff (off) and saturated (on) conditions. This minimizes the overlap of voltage and current, reducing losses in the active device. To further reduce loss the Class E amplifier utilizes an inductively tuned resonant network to achieve zero voltage switching, bringing the voltage across the switch to zero before turn on, eliminating energy stored in the output capacitance of the active device that would otherwise be dissipated. This is achieved with an inductively tuned series resonant output filter.  In the Class E amplifier losses are almost entirely determined by the current conducted by the active device so a high drain impedance is desired to maximize efficiency. The drain impedance is ultimately limited by the voltage rating of the switch. For our desired output power of 40W and the maximum voltage rating of 133V for the MRF101AN this impedance is still less than 50 ohms, so a L match circuit is used to match the drain impedance to 50 ohms. The load network in our design provides a drain impedance of 15.4+12.8j. As the MRF101AN will operate in saturation a high drive level is desired. To eliminate the need for a preamplifier and allow for digital control, we use a high speed gate drive chip typically used in switch-mode power supplies, LMG1020, to drive the MRF101AN instead of a RF preamplifier. A resonant network is used to provide voltage gain at the fundamental and third harmonic, providing a quasi-square wave on the gate which helps insure the device remains in saturation. Conclusion It was a close call and highly competitive! Each participant had their own creative, unique and impressive way of displaying the capabilities of these new parts. NXP is always up for new design challenges. Ready for the next challenge?

       由于RT系列没有内置 Flash,大多数用户会选择外部 QSPI Flash 作为应用代码和数据的非易失存储设备,同时外部Flash的大容量在满足用户代码存储需求之外也会为用户提供了足够的灵活空间存储应用数据,但是其中涉及到的对数据读擦写以及用户的应用程序均需要在外部 Flash 执行,这为 Flash 的操作带来了麻烦。        对于在XIP(eXecute-In-Place)模式下的应用,对Flash读擦写的操作需要在内部 RAM 里执行,而RT系列由于高主频而引入了内核 Dcache 以及 Flexspi 模块自带的 Pre-fetch 功能,对外部 Flash 的操作会有很多需要注意的地方,这些问题在带有 RTOS 的系统里则更是突显出来,而无论在 XIP 模式下的裸机还是基于 RTOS 方式对 Flash 的操作,SDK 里均没有提供例程可供参考。        本参考方案来自很多客户的实际应用需求,所以编写了基于 FreeRTOS 下的对片外 QSPI Flash 的读擦写操作,客户可以基于此例程移植到自己的应用里面做相关的应用开发,并配套对应的指导文档提醒用户在移植过程中需要注意的几个常见的 tips。 Products Product Category NXP Part Number URL MCU MIMXRT1021 i.MX RT1020 Crossover MCU with Arm® Cortex®-M7 core MCUXpresso SDK Software SDK v2.6.1 Welcome | MCUXpresso SDK Builder    Tools NXP Development Board URL MIMXRT1020-EVK MIMXRT1020-EVK: i.MX RT1020 Evaluation Kit
