Overview   Audio industries need Audio Platform Boards capable to perform with Hi-Res Audio, and focused on the implementation of IoT. Therefore, it is necessary to count with a simplified but efficient and high performance audio platform, with WIFI/BT connectivity, and that is also capable of supporting 196k/32bit PCM & DSD DAC. With the possibility of adding DSP capabilities to increase customers portfolios into high-end products. And if needed, adding on-edge performance capabilities to complement the audio system into Voice Assistants. This application receives video and Hi-Res audio signals from WIFI or Bluetooth, even from DMICs. Then it processes them and sends a response to displays, speakers or any other audio or video output. It should also count with an external Audio Codec that could support different audio formats. Use Cases The audio industry has been evolving through the years. Thanks to this evolution, the industry is now focused on Hi-Res Audio, & the implementation of IoT for streaming and other type of services. Some of the possible uses could be: Audio Streaming. Audio Processing. Audio Files Storage. Portable Audio Systems. Personal Assistants. Voice Assisted Systems.

Demo   Resonant Power Supply Video from IEEE.TV   The TEA19161T is a resonant / LLC half bridge converter and the TEA19162T is a PFC converter. Combining these two IC’s together with the SR controller TEA1995T at the secondary side results in a high efficient converter over the whole output power range. These demos show 2 examples of a resonant power supply; one with an output power of 240 W (12V / 20A), and another with an output power of 90 W (19.5V / 4.6A). Both showing a very low component count and small design. The resonant supplies operate in normal mode for high and medium power levels, in low power mode at medium and low power levels and in burst mode at (very) low power levels. Low power mode and burst mode operation provides a reduction of power losses, resulting in a higher efficiency at lower output power levels. Power levels for switching over from one mode to another mode can be selected by the end customer by adjusting component values. The efficiency at high power is well above 90%. No load power consumption is well below 75 mW. At 250mW output power the input power is only 360mW, which is well below the 500 mW required to be compliant with EUP lot6 power saving specification, soon becoming mandatory for consumer electronics sold in Europe.   Features: Full digital output voltage regulation and burst mode control Easy and low-cost application with cycle-by-cycle capacitive voltage control Very high efficiency over wide load range Special low power mode enabling high efficiency at 0–30% load Extremely low no-load stand-by power (< 75 mW), saves auxiliary supply cost ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________   Featured NXP Products:   Resonant power supply control IC|NXP GreenChip Synchronous Rectifier controller|NXP ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________   Desktop PC Supply. 12v, 20A (240W)                                                   Ultra Slim 90W Adaptor. 19.5V / 4.6A (90W)              C17

About this demo This demo shows the usage of a Neural Network (NN) applied for handwritten digit recognition, the NN model runs on the i.MX RT1060 MCU. The main idea of the demonstration is to show the i.MX RT capability to manage a graphical user interface while applying a NN model to recognize handwritten numbers to determine whether a password is correct or wrong. The demonstration is tested by setting a 4-digit password to a 4.3" LCD Panel, then the user must enter the correct password to unlock device; when the password is provided, the digits recognized by the NN are displayed on the screen. A 'Clear' button will erase the previous numbers for the user to try a new password to unlock the device. Technical Introduction and Acknowledgment The demo is available using two different approaches for the model creation and inference engines: TensorFlow Lite and CMSIS-NN using Caffe Framework.   TensorFlow Lite The application note AN12603 describes handwritten digit recognition on embedded systems through deep learning. The digit recognition is performed by a TensorFlow Lite model trained with the MINST dataset containing 60,000 handwritten grayscale images and 10,000 testing examples. This application note, deep dives into every step to achieve the application using Tensorflow Lite and build a GUI using Embedded Wizard.   CMSIS-NN using Caffee Framework The application note AN12781 explores the usage of Deep Neural Networks created in Caffe Framework, this framework allows creating a model and convert it to CMSIS-NN functions to be exported to the i.MX RT platform as source files. The model is also trained for the digit recognition using the MNIST dataset. The document describes the procedure to create, train and deploy the model; in the final step the model is exported a C source files using CMSIS-NN functions and weights that are exported to the i.MX RT1060 project. Video     Hardware setup   Recommended Products i.MX RT1060 Evaluation Kit | NXP  4.3" LCD Panel RK043FN02H-CT | NXP    Further Information                                           The NXP ® eIQ ™ software environment enables the use of ML algorithms on NXP MCUs, i.MX RT crossover MCUs, and i.MX family SoCs. eIQ software includes inference engines, neural network compilers and optimized libraries. Additionally,  the models can be optimized through techniques like quantization and pruning, AN12781 explores the possibility of optimization by creating a new model using Caffe with a quantization to simplify the floating-point data. By reducing the 32-bit floating-point data to an 8-bit and fixed-point format, the memory allocation got reduced and this resulted in a lower-processing power.   Transfer Learning Transfer learning gives machine learning models the ability to apply past experience to quickly and more accurately learn to solve new problems. This technique has become very important in deep learning. AN12892 describes how to perform transfer learning in TensorFlow and a use case example, which aims to improve the performance of the application from AN12603.    Useful Links   Links  AN12603 AN12603 Software AN12781 AN12781 Software AN12892 AN12892 Software eIQ™ for TensorFlow Lite | NXP  Caffe | Deep Learning Framework  Embedded Wizard | Simplify Your GUI Development  What is a Container? | App Containerization | Docker

使用NXP集成丰富的模拟外设和数字接口,针对成本敏感,低功耗电池供电应用场景应用的K32 L2B系列,可以实现额温测量的应用。其具有如下特性: 1. 集成多通道16-bit ADC,可用于采集红外温度传感器的信号,以及采集电池电压,目前K32L2B的16位单端模式精度可以达到13.9位,差分模式可以达到14.5位,使用芯片内置的ADC就可以满足要求,实现0.1度温度测量精度要求。 2. 12-bitDAC为外置运放提供偏置电压;可以节省一颗外部的3V转1.2V电平转换芯片或者外围分离器件搭建的降压转换电路(由于运放的偏置电路消耗电流只需要uA级,目前片内的一路DAC可以满足此要求)。另外Vref 该引脚可以内部输出1.2V参考电压,带载能力也可达1mA。 3. sLCD:低功耗段码显示支持24x8或者28x4段,sLCD引脚既可以做Segment,也可以做COM口的功能,即使未配置为sLCD的引脚也可以做其他IO功能控制口。 4. 3路I2C(其中的2路I2C中一路接红外数字传感器或者接近传感器,另外一路接高精度数字温度传感器,可外接NXP PCT2075温度传感器芯片,还有预留的1路I2C用FlexIO实现标准的I2C或者UART或者SPI通信) 。 5. 2路PWM用于驱动LED指示LED或者蜂鸣器报警信号,以及实现语音播放功能。 6. USB FS 2.0从设备接口,不要额外的晶体。 7. 支持最大256K Flash,48 MHz Arm® Cortex®-M0+内核。K32L2B11VLH0A 64K Flash,32K RAM的配置即可满足额温枪的需要。 8. 低功耗特征:运行模式达 54 uA/MHz,在深度睡眠模式下RAM和RTC处于保持状态的功耗为1.96uA;满足采用采用电池供电的手持式红外测温枪,对系统功耗苛刻的要求。 9. 具有小于10us的快速唤醒模式,能及时唤醒主控进入运行模式。 10. 64 LQFP封装, 至少提供5个GPIOs满足用户人机界面设置按键需求。如果是做额温测试模块外接高端i.MX系列带大屏幕彩色显示屏的应用,可以选择32脚封装,例如K32L2B11VFM0A。 11. 额温枪对Flash容量大小的需求,主要是NTC(RT电阻温度换算表)和红外测温(VT电压温度换算表)标定参数存储,语音播报数据的存储,64K Flash是可以满足要求的。 12. K32 L2B系列具有广泛的产品路线图,支持引脚功能完全兼容,扩展的Flash,可以添加诸如蓝牙以及二维码扫码等新型扩展功能需求。 13. 内置ROM bootloader方便用户程序在线升级和温度参数标定,内置高精度的内部时钟,此功能用于工厂固件生产配置,使用NXP提供的Kinetis Flash Tool下载工具软件 GUI,可以直接方便的通过USB刷新固件和校准配置参数,无需额外的仿真下载调试工具。 14. MCUXpresso ConfigTool:易用的软件配置工具以及完整的外设驱动SDK包方便用户快速原型开发。 目前64脚的IO资源已经用足,所以做额温枪,使用集成段码显示的单芯片,64脚封装应该是主流。当然也有48或者32脚的产品,一般都是需要外置sLCD显示驱动芯片。 基于NXP K32L2B MCU的额温枪参考方案(硬件篇): https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/k96HO32ek2i_FjADtdsK9g 基于NXP K32L2B MCU的额温枪参考方案(软件篇): https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/QVCeW1RS57tAYaDi8mQ7Lw

电容式感应触摸按键可以穿透绝缘材料外壳,准确无误地侦测到手指的有效触摸。并保证了产品的灵敏度、稳定性、可靠性等不会因环境条件的改变或长期使用而发生变化,并具有防水和强抗干扰能力,超强防护,超强适应温度范围 电容式触摸按键控制芯片通常广泛适用于遥控器、灯具调光、各类开关以及车载、小家电和家用电器控制界面等应用中。芯片内部集成高分辨率触摸检测模块和专用信号处理电路,以保证芯片对环境变化具有灵敏的自动识别和跟踪功能。芯片还必须满足用户在复杂应用中对稳定性、灵敏度、功耗、响应速度、防水、带水操作、抗震动、抗电磁干扰等方面的高体验要求。本文将介绍一套基于NXP KE16Z64的轻量级TSI算法。 基于KE1XZ64平台的TSI轻量级算法: KE1XZ64继承了KE family的高可靠抗干扰性,并提供了更小的引脚封装尺寸,让客户硬件设计更加便利。其内部集成了改进版的TSI模块,性能更加稳定可靠,该模块支持自耦和互耦两种方式:自耦模式下最多可支持25个按键,互耦模式最多可支持36个按键,因此能够覆盖当前市场上绝大部分的触摸应用场景。 NXP官方的NT LIB软件虽然功能完善,但由于代码量大且程序架构复杂等原因,部分客户不愿意选用。所以该市场对于轻量级应用代码还是有需求的。 此参考设计展示了TSI轻量级算法的具体实现,按照配置模式分为两个对应的参考例程:自耦模式为12个按键的功能实现,硬件基于KE16 PCB,主要适用于按键所需数目少的应用场景;互耦模式为36个按键的功能实现,硬件基于RT-TSI-KE16,主要适用于按键所需数目多的应用场景。该算法精简可靠,十分易于移植,使客户可以很快地上手。并且可以结合使用NXP的GUI监测软件FreeMaster,方便中后期的灵敏度调试及问题追踪。 此套算法在实验室通过了IEC61000-4-6注入电流可靠性测试。 参考代码及说明文档请详见附件压缩包。
