Calculations

Fraction Power Loss

$V_{\text{IN}}$ Voltage on input ($V_{\text{IN}}<BV_{\text{DS}}$), and $I_{\text{switch}}$ Switching current,

• Max switching power: ${\textstyle P_{\text{total}}={\frac {1}{2}}I_{\text{switch}}V_{\text{IN}}}$
• Due to $R_{\text{DSON}}$ loss: $P_{{\text{loss}}R_{\text{DSON}}}=R_{\text{DSON}}I_{\text{switch}}^{2}$
• Due to capacitance switching $C_{\text{DS}}$ loss: $C_{\text{DS}}V_{\text{IN}}^{2}f_{\text{switch}}$
• Due to switch off time $t_{f}$(overestimation): $t_{f}f_{\text{switch}}I_{\text{switch}}V_{\text{IN}}$

Total loss:

$P_{\text{loss total}}/P_{\text{total}}=2R_{\text{DSON}}{\frac {I_{\text{switch}}}{V_{\text{IN}}}}+C_{\text{DS}}f_{\text{switch}}{\frac {V_{\text{IN}}}{I_{\text{switch}}}}+t_{f}f_{\text{switch}}$

Inductive Heating Power Transfer

Coils

Indactance calculator, or simpler, this one gives different/wrong? results

• primary coil: length=110mm, diameter=11mm, N=100 => 9.7 uH,
  • resistance: 100*3.14*10e-3/(3.14*.5e-3**2)*16.9e-9 = 68 mOhm
• secondary coil: length=100mm, diameter=10mm, 1mm thick brass:
  • inductance=8.0 uH/100^2=0.80nH (8.0uH is inductance for 10mm diameter coil)
  • resistance: 65e-9 [Ohm m] * 3.14*5e-3 / (1e-3*100e-3) = 20 u Ohm
  • L/R fall-off time: 0.8e-9/20e-6 = 40 us.
  • resistance 'seen' on primary coil: 20e-6*100**2 = 0.2 Ohm.
• secondary coil, stainless steel ([resistivity = 690 nOhm m, chemistry.about.com)
  • resistance: 690e-9 * 3.14*10e-3 / (1e-3*110e-3) = 196 u Ohm
  • L/R fall off time: 0.8e-9/ 217 u Ohm = 4.06 us
  • resistance 'seen' on primary coil: 196 *100**2 = 1.96 Ohm, so with 200 primary turns, will be 7.9 Ohm.

$L=\mu _{0}{\frac {N^{2}A}{l}}.$

Lattice

If I want:

• PLL
• manually solderable (>= 0.5 mm pitch pins)
• differential input/outputs

Then it looks like the first option is ICE40HX4K-TQ144, handbook, iCE40 LP/HX Family Datasheet

• Add Lattice FPGA, for example ICE40LP384-SG32 digikey (heeft geen PLL!)
• ICE40HX1K-VQ144 does have PLL (?) (HX variants seem to be the only ones with pins & PLL)
• ICE40UL1K-SWG16ITR50 does have PLL (4x4 GBA, 0.35mm pitch, ...)
