An artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted hardware design platform enables engineers to find the right components for their design projects using machine learning and smart algorithms. It selects the ideal set of components while providing deliverables of architectural design, ECAD native schematics, bill of materials, footprints, and project information summary.

The CELUS design platform transforms technical requirements into schematic prototypes in less than an hour, allowing developers and engineers to move from concept to reality with unprecedented efficiency and precision. Moreover, with projects often comprised of anywhere from 200 to 1,000 individual components, it simplifies the complexities of electronic design and accelerates time to market for new products.

At a time when there is an increasing need for more efficient design processes, finding the right components for projects can be overwhelming and time-consuming. The CELUS platform streamlines the design process and provides real-time component recommendations that work.

“With more than 600 million components available to electronics designers, the task of identifying and selecting the ones right for any given project is at best a challenge,” said Tobias Pohl, co-founder and CEO of CELUS. “We developed the CELUS design platform to handle the heavy lifting and intricate details of product design to drive innovation and expand demand creation in a fraction of the time required of traditional approaches.”

We were told that such a system was impossible, but we did it and are now expanding its reach to end users and component suppliers around the world, Pohl added. CELUS aims to transform the $1.4 trillion component industry by aiding the circuit board design market through its unique design automation process.

While CELUS minimizes the time engineers spend identifying disparate component pieces, it also allows component suppliers to easily connect with design engineers for faster market integration and broader reach. Furthermore, this connection via engineering tools like CELUS enables component suppliers to reach developers and engineers who may not be accessible through traditional channels.

CELUS, based in Munich, Germany, is expanding the reach of its cloud-based design platform in the United States by setting up a U.S. headquarters in Ausin, Texas. The company has been founded by a team of mechanical, electrical, and aeronautical engineers and is backed by an advisory board of top industry experts.

After a few years of copying and rerouting a few battery management designs for each project that required it got a bit tiring for me, so I wanted to make a small module that would cover a lot of use cases (for me at least). So I ended up with 22.23mm*16.51mm module with 4+16 ADC channels, 2A li-po battery charger, battery current measuring, on-module temperature sensor, uvlo, 3 leds, low on resistance output mosfet and a few more thingies. Primary goal was to provide a simple drop-in way to add power management features to projects, mainly on/off behavior using a switch. I got it all working using only interrupts so the cpu sleeps most of the time for power saving. Anyways, it's all open source, so if you're into small 6 layer PCBs you can make one for yourself https://github.com/EDrTech/PMG001 Also an adapter board with dual ch340c for serial and updi https://preview.redd.it/v2gbwuwlxcld1.png?width=1203&format=png&auto=webp&s=aca3c4b59ac15b4be2fb41fb2bd221f2d65ea809 https://preview.redd.it/t0cnqmmpxcld1.jpg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d7757a687e67a3c92d351049bd65ddddce96669a https://preview.redd.it/t34x6ggyxcld1.png?width=853&format=png&auto=webp&s=b6f99248ef7d9e81e5ae7ba5541cba59899b7eef submitted by /u/CardboardFire [link] [comments]

A short while back, I published a design idea that uses a single linear pot to control the gain of a high performance OP37 decompensated op-amp over an unusually wide (-30 dB to +60 dB) range.

Figure 1 shows the circuit.

Gain = (R2ccw/(R1 + R2ccw))(R3/R2cw + 1).

Figure 1 Grounded wiper makes R2 serve as both input attenuator and output gain set.

Wow the engineering world with your unique design: Design Ideas Submission Guide

Recently I started wondering whether a digital pot (Dpot) would work in place of Figure 1’s mechanical R2. Figure 2 shows what seemed like a likely Dpot topology.

Gain = (R2ds/(R1 + R2ds + Rw))(R3/(R2(1 – ds) + Rw) + 1)

Figure 2 R2 has the same function as in Figure 1 with DC bias from R4 R5 C2 to accommodate bipolar signals. But what about Rw wiper resistance effects?

On closer inspection, it turned out not to be so very promising after all. This is due to wiper resistance interfering with the isolation of the two halves of R2 that made the original circuit work in the first place. Figure 3 shows the fix I eventually resorted to.

Figure 3 Positive and negative feedback loops around A2 combine to create active negative resistance = -R4.

A2 and its surrounding network are the basis of the trick. They generate an active negative resistance effect that subtracts from Rw and, if adjusted so R4 = Rw, can theoretically (the engineer’s least favorite word) cancel it out completely. 

A quick method for dialing out Rw is to write the Dpot setting to zero, provide a ~1v rms input, then trim R4 for output null.

Here’s some negative resistance math. Note Vp# = voltage signal present at A2 pin #. 

1. Let Iw = wiper signal current, then
2. Vp6 = Vp2 – R4*Iw
3. Vp2 = Vp3 (negative feedback)
4. Vp3 = Vp6/2 (positive feedback)
5. Vp6 = Vp6/2 – R4*Iw
6. Vp6 – Vp6/2 = Vp6/2 = -R4*Iw
7. Vp6 = -2*R4*Iw
8. If R4 = Rw, then IR4 = IRw
9. -2*R4*Iw = -(R4 + Rw)Iw
10. Vw = Vp6 + (Iw*R4 + Iw*Rw) = -Iw(R4 + Rw) + Iw(R4 + Rw)
11. Vw = 0 (Rw has been cancelled out!)

 Gain = (R2ds/(R1 + R2ds))(R3/(R2(1 – ds)) + 1)

Figure 4’s red curve compares Figure 2’s behavior with an (uncompensated) Rw = 150 Ω (plausible for the Microchip Dpot illustrated), while the black curve shows what happens if R4 = Rw = 150 Ω. Compare it to the performance of the original (Figure 1) circuit using a mechanical pot as shown in Figure 5.

Of course, how perfect Rw cancellation over the full range of Dpot settings can be is no better than Rw match over the Dpot’s 257 different taps at the 2.5v DC bias provided by R5R6. Typical matching within a given pot’s resistor array seems good, but this is not the manufacturer’s promise, which only speaks to a factor of +/-20% or so. But reducing Rw by a factor of 5 is still useful.

Figure 4 Red curve plots uncompensated Rw (~150 Ω), note the 20 dB loss from both ends of the span. Black curve plots the case where Rw is compensated with negative resistance (R4 = Rw = 150). 

Figure 5 Gain curve using the mechanical pot is identical to Dpot with negative resistance Rw compensation.

Footnote: Subsequent to publishing the mechanical pot version of this idea, I learned that Mr T. Frank Ritter had anticipated it by more than 50 years in his “Controlling op amp gain with one potentiometer,” published in “Electronics Designer’s Casebook”, 1972, McGraw Hill. 

So, I hereby offer a belated but enthusiastic tip of my hat to Mr. Ritter. I’ve always admired pioneers!
