Flexible and transparent OLEDs at LG

Electronics News Updates / By Ibrar Ayyub

Organic light-emitting diodes – OLEDs – emit light when a current flows through them. Unlike conventional LEDs, OLEDs are made from layers of plastic and other organic (carbon-based) materials. Examples are already in mass production for displays in MP3 players and phones. Sheets of OLED material are proposed to replace light bulbs and fluorescent tubes

ICs need no caps linear Tech timer and oscillator

Electronics News Updates / By Ibrar Ayyub

Description The LTC®6990 is a precision silicon oscillator with a programmable frequency range of 488Hz to 2MHz. It can be used as a fixed-frequency or voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO). The LTC6990 is part of the TimerBlox® family of versatile silicon timing devices. A single resistor, RSET, programs the LTC6990’s internal master oscillator frequency. The output frequency

Fast analog isolation with linear optocouplers

Electronics News Updates / By Ibrar Ayyub

Introduction Analog isolation is still widely used in motor drives, power monitoring, etc whereby applications typically use inexpensive analog voltage control for speed, intensity or other adjustments. The HCNR201/200 analog optocoupler is commonly added to isolate the analog signal in the front end module of an application circuitry. The optocoupler will be placed between the

Arduino based programmable load

Electronics News Updates / By Ibrar Ayyub

Summary: I designed an electric load. Using an Arduino Nano, the load can be programmed, and the voltage and current are measured. You can set a constant current (CC), a constant power (CP), or a constant resistance (CR) load by simply typing it in to the Arduino Serial Monitor. The circuit is designed for up to 30V, 5A, and 15W. An opamp, a

Mini LED volume towers (VU meters)

Electronics News Updates / By Ibrar Ayyub

The inspiration for this project started when I saw a variety of awesome stereo LED towers on YouTube (also referred to as VU meters). Many of the videos showed the end result, and maybe a slideshow of the assembly process, but lacked complete build details or a circuit diagram. So, I set out to find
