Los Angeles, CA, Jan 19, 2021 -- Andrea Susan Glass published Your Fabulous First Book: How to Write with Clarity, Confidence & Connection. An award-winning ghostwriter, book coach, and author, Glass takes the unique approach to travel on the book-writing journey along with the reader as she writes her own first book and shares her experiences. The inspiring quotes, revealing stories of ghostwriting clients, and highly structured paths to surmount any obstacles or challenges by finding clarity, building confidence, and making connections lead the reader to a satisfying conclusion: a fabulous first book. The valuable resources and action steps to implement the concepts give readers a guaranteed solution to realizing their dream of writing and publishing a book.

“I’ve been ghostwriting books for others since 2000, and now it’s my time,” says Glass, a resident of Oceanside, California, and owner of WritersWay. “I’ve wanted to become a bestselling author since I was old enough to know what that is. And after finally setting aside the time, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, I’ve achieved that goal.”

Her author website at www.AndreaSusanGlass.com showcases Glass’s book and coaching programs. She acts as a book coach to aspiring authors who want to write a nonfiction book but have difficulty getting started or keeping focused. “I find new authors have doubts, fears, and excuses that get in their way of starting and finish their book,” says Glass. “Through my new book and coaching programs, I hope to help them get over these hurdles so they can write and publish their book.”

Your Fabulous First Book will be available initially as an ebook and is focused on nonfiction books. It explains how clarity, confidence, and connection will help authors get clear on their goals, build confidence as they overcome their challenges, and connect with readers. “I find authors need to be clear about the reasons for writing their book and the reasons their readers will buy their book,” says Glass.

She also feels it’s vital for new authors to learn to connect with their readers both within the book and in the marketplace. “Authors need to understand how to make a connection in the book with their readers. I do that by sharing my journey as I write my first book,” Glass says. “They also need to build a connection by developing a fan base before releasing their book. They need to establish what’s called a platform to find their readers and build connections so book sales will start as soon as they launch their book.”

Anyone thinking about writing their first book can sign up for a complimentary book strategy session on the website at www.AndreaSusanGlass.com. “As a book coach, my mission is to help anyone at any stage of the book writing process to move forward to completion,” says Glass. “I know I’ve had my own struggles to get my first book written, and after ghostwriting dozens of books for others, I understand the book writing process and the challenges that arise. I want to help entrepreneurs, service professionals, coaches, and others who want to have a book to enhance their business.”

January 19, 2021, New Delhi — In modern offline AC-DC power solutions, programmability and adaptive control offer the flexibility and intelligence needed by smart home devices to better interface with their power systems. In these systems, a secondary side microcontroller (MCU) is typically not capable of starting a system without the use of a separate bias power supply. A new reference design from Microchip Technology Inc. (Nasdaq: MCHP) solves this problem using the MCP1012 high voltage auxiliary AC-DC controller, demonstrating the ability to remove the independent bias power supply in many applications. The MCP1012 offline auxiliary device enables the system to transfer control of the power and duty cycle to a secondary MCU. The control between the system and the load can be more precise and purposefully coupled, through a design that can be simplified, reducing size and cost.

The reference design uses a patented isolation technique for isolated feedback. This patented isolation technique called Inde-Flux transformer technology is being licensed to Würth Elektronik eiSos. Inde-Flux technology is used in the Inde-Flux Transformer (Part Number 750318659), the first transformer made by Würth Elektronik eiSos using this IP and sold as part of Microchip’s 15W MCP1012 offline reference design. This transformer combines the signal power and signal communication into one device, eliminating the need for optical feedback or an independent signal transformer. The option is also available to use more traditional approaches with a planar pulse transformer on the reference design, as well as the ability of the design to work with more traditional optocouplers and signal transformers. The secondary-side control is then enabled through a combination of the transformer and Microchip’s newly released MCP1012 AC-DC controller along with the SAM D20 series 32-bit MCU.

The MPC1012 primary-side auxiliary controller provides for system start up, gating and protecting an offline flyback converter for the secondary MCU. The device enables a range of benefits such as direct measurement and active regulation of voltage and/or current, high loop bandwidth by direct loop closure and simplified communication for load-referenced systems.

The 15W MCP102 offline reference design provides the principal working elements for a 15W offline power design with the necessary firmware to enable the elimination of the auxiliary power supply on the primary side. This can reduce the complexity of the system including eliminating the need for optocouplers in many applications such as appliances and smart speakers. This Inde-Flux transformer technology, in cooperation with Würth Elektronik eiSos, can be scaled to standard and custom transformer designs for different voltages and power levels as needed.

“The combination of our Inde-Flux technology in a Würth Elektronik eiSos transformer, our MCP1012 AC-DC controller and our SAM D20 series 32-bit MCU creates a unique solution to offline power management,” said Rich Simoncic, senior vice president of Microchip’s analog, power and interface business unit. “These devices enable a simpler, more reliable implementation of complex bi-directional communication between the primary and secondary elements used in many isolated applications utilizing offline power. Where this solution is used in systems with a secondary MCU, customers can realize up to 60% savings of the bias supply area and reduce the bias supply bill of materials costs by $3 or more.”

Development Tools

The 15W MCP1012 offline reference design includes a user guide and comes with schematics and bill of materials, design files, firmware, and a demonstration unit. Microchip also offers a fundamental 1W evaluation board, the DT100118, for the MCP1012 AC-DC controller.

Pricing and Availability

The 15W MCP1012 offline reference design, part number EV37F82A, is available now for $225.00 each. The DT100118 1W reference design is available now for $115.00 each. The MCP1012-V/EKA is available now starting at $.40 each in 5,000-unit quantities.
