Reverse-Engineering An Amazon Blink Gen 3 Camera After some water intrusion apparently killed one of [electronupdate]’s Amazon Blink Gen 3 cameras he took this opportunity to do a full teardown and analysis of all the major components. Spread across its three PCBs there are no fewer than two wireless ICs and a custom ASIC for all the major processing. There’s also a blog post with easy-to-ogle pictures. The most basic PCB is effectively just a PCB antenna for the Silicon Labs EZR32 IC on the main PCB, using which the ~915 MHz connection with the central hub is maintained. The other smaller PCB is a bit surprising in that it contains a Cypress CYW43438 W-Fi b/g/n and BT 5.1 chip. This would seem to be used for the setup process, but considering that it also uses a central hub it is a bit of a mystery as to what it is used for exactly. Finally, the main PCB contains all the major parts, with the custom Amazon Immedia ASIC that’s an integral part of this very low-power camera. Given that two AA cells being enough to run the camera for about two years, using off-the-shelf parts probably wasn’t good enough without some serious customization. As for why this outdoors-rated camera failed after a few years in the outdoors, the reason appears to be water intrusion via the speaker opening. As for why a camera needs a speaker and not just the microphone is left as an exercise to the reader, but maybe it could be useful for yelling at the local kids to get off your darn lawn?

Reverse-Engineering A Handheld Car Tire Pressure Gauge The SDIC 8-bit MCU. (Credit: electronupdate, YouTube) In this wonderful world of MEMS technology, sensor technology has been downsized and reduced in cost to the point where you can buy a car tire pressure sensor for less than $3 USD on a site like AliExpress. Recently [electronupdate] got his mittens on one of these items to take a look inside, and compare it against his trusty old mechanical tire pressure gauge. Perhaps unsurprisingly, there isn’t a whole lot inside these devices once you pop them open to reveal the PCB. The MEMS device is a tiny device at the top, which has the pressurized air from the tire guided to it. The small hole inside the metal can leads to the internals that consist of a thin diaphragm with four piezoresistors that enable measurements on said diaphragm from which pressure can be determined. Handling these measurements and displaying results on the small zebra connector-connected LCD is an 8-bit MCU manufactured by Chinese company SDIC. Although the part number on the die doesn’t lead to any specific part on the SDIC site, similar SDIC parts have about 256 bytes of SRAM and a few kB of one-time programmable ROM. This MCU also integrates the clock oscillator, thus requiring virtually no external parts to work. Finally, its sigma-delta ADC interacts with the MEMS device, rounding out a very simple device that’s nevertheless more than accurate enough for a spot check as well as quite portable.

How A Belkin USB Charger Pulls Off A 3 Milliwatt Standby Usage Belkin charger standby power. (Credit: Denki Otaku, YouTube) A well-known property of wall warts like power bricks and USB chargers is that they always consume some amount of power even when there’s no connected device drawing power from them. This feels rather wasteful when you have a gaggle of USB chargers constantly plugged in, especially on a nation-sized scale. This is where a new USB-C wall charger by Belkin, the BoostCharger Pro, is interesting, as it claims ‘zero standby power’, which sounds pretty boastful and rather suspect. Fortunately, [Denki Otaku] saw fit to put one to the test and even tear one down to inspect the work of Belkin’s engineers. Naturally, no laws of physics were harmed in the construction of the device, as ‘zero standby power’ translated from marketing speak simply means ‘very low standby power usage’, or about 3 milliwatt with 0.3 mA at the applied 100 VAC. Fascinatingly, plugging in an e-marker equipped USB-C cable with no device on the other end caused this standby usage to increase to about 30 mW, clearly disabling the ‘zero standby’ feature. With that detail noted, it was time to tear down the charger, revealing its four PCBs. The boring answer here is that Belkin didn’t do anything special, but rather followed the Renesas application note for a 65W USB-C adapter with Zero Standby Power: Zero Standby Power Application Note. (Credit: Renesas) As can be surmised from the effect of a non-e-marked versus e-marked USB-C cable being inserted, the USB-PD controller IC detects the presence or absence of a cable, and signals the flyback section to mostly shut down. This then leaves a trickle of current for the charger’s ICs as they wait for something to happen. In the (unfortunately restricted) datasheet for the Renesas iW9870 flyback controller IC, we can see this feature described, including how plugging in a USB cable disables the feature. This feature appears to be somewhat related to how USB power banks work, with them shutting down the outputs if idle, though there are some issues with it backfiring. Some power banks have a ‘trickle charge’ mode where even low amounts of current being drawn doesn’t shut off the output. In the case of this Renesas ‘zero standby power’ feature, it seems to rely on USB cable detection as an equivalent to an active power device. As noted in the video, this seems to cause issues when inserting an e-marked cable, and some users have reported the charger randomly turning off the output while actively charging from it. Here we’d like to pitch an absolutely bonkers suggestion, and pitch putting a physical on/off switch on the charger – as well as on power banks – rather than try to do more smart guessing.
