Cards

Term
Circuit Isolation
Definition
Protect the Rest of the interface circuit from unexpected input or prevent the elecric impedance interaction between interface circuits and sensors or analog devices.
Term
Low Pass Filter
Definition
When the analog signal is sampled in a discrete manner, attention must be paid to sampling frequency and the maximum frequency of the source signal to avoid aliasing of the source signal. Sampling frequency should be more than twice as large cut off frequency.
Term
Signal Conditioning
Definition
Adjust the analog signal voltage level to an A-D converter and from a D-A converter to a certain desired range.
Term
Sample and Hold
Definition
Capture the analog signal and hold the signal at the captured level as DC voltage.
Term
Analog to Digital Converter
Definition
Convert an analog voltage input to the digital data with a certain resolution and output the digital data converted.
Term
Digital to Analog Converter
Definition
Convert digital data to an analog voltage with a certain resolution and output the voltage signal converted.
Term
DC Motor
Definition

Rotor is a coil to generate q-axis magnetic field

Stator is a permanent magnet for d-axis magnetic field

Advantage is that just supplys the DC power. Simple control for variable speed.

Disadvantage is that mechanical brush (commutator) will wear out and rotor heat generation.

Term
AC Synchronous Motor
Definition

Rotor is just an electircally conductive rotor.

Stator is coil to generate q-axis magnetic field and induced current in rotor.

Advantage is simple and most inexpensive motor structure

Disadvantage is heat generation in rotor. Control is more difficult because slip control is needed for variable speed application.

Term
Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor
Definition

Rotor is permanent magnet for d-axis magnetic field.

Stator is coil to generate q-axis magnetic field.

Advantage is that no mechanical commutation, higher reliability, less heat generation in rotor.

Disadvantage is electric commutation by AC voltage is needed, variable speed needs rotor position detection and variable frequency power supply.
