5″ capacitive touch panel with GSL1680 up’n running with arduino

Some months ago I wrote about getting a 7″ capacitive touch LCD up’n running with Arduino. Since that time I’ve investigated 5″ displays with capacitive touch. There are some, such as the NHD-5.0-800480TF-ATXL#-CTP from Newhaven which uses the FT5306 capacitive touch controller. That one is interesting because I already have touch driver for the FT5x06 […]

Relay Finder2

Relay Finder will let you know, when one phase is missing …

Finder monitoring relays are able to effectively signalize a fault status in a mains line and to prevent damages or undue wear-out. Too high or too low voltage, phase loss or a wrong phase rotation are conditions commonly occurring in an industrial environment. Even though a phase rotation is usually stable, but only one improperly

High Efficiency 140V 400mA Step Down Regulator

LTC7138 – High Efficiency, 140V 400mA Step-Down Regulator

Description The LTC®7138 is a high efficiency step-down DC/DC regulator with internal power switch that draws only 12μA typical DC supply current while maintaining a regulated output voltage at no load. The LTC7138 can supply up to 400mA load current and features a programmable peak current limit that provides a simple method for optimizing efficiency

60V Synchronous Step Down High Current LED Driver

Design Notes: 60V, Synchronous Step-Down High Current LED Driver

Introduction The meaning of the term “high power LED” is rapidly evolving. Although a 350mA LED could easily earn the stamp of “high power” a few years ago, it could not hold a candle to the 20A LEDs or the 40A laser diodes of today. High power LEDs are now used in DLP projectors, surgical equipment,

1st MEMS Spectrometer Debuts

1st MEMS Spectrometer Debuts

PORTLAND, Ore. — The world’s first microelectromechanical system (MEMS) spectrometer on-a-chip was shown today at at Photonics West (San Francisco, February 10-12) by Si-Ware Systems (SWS, Cairo, Egypt with offices in La Canada, Calif.) Instead of transporting materials across sometimes great distances to be analyzed with a normal bench-top spectrometer, Si-Ware’s MEMS-powered spectrometer fits in
