Integrated MCUs Enable Cost-Effective Microinverters for Solar Energy Designs

Electronics News Updates / By Ibrar Ayyub

Microinverters provide an effective solution to solar-energy harvesting by providing power conversion at the individual panel level. The emergence of highly integrated MCUs offers an attractive approach to microinverter design, providing an option that reduces the cost of complexity which limited widespread adoption of microinverters in the past. Today, designers can build highly efficient microinverter […]

TinyGlo – Your own firefly light show anytime

Electronics News Updates / By Ibrar Ayyub

Your own firefly light show anytime Watching fireflies is one my most memorable childhood events. Every summer, I would look forward to watching fireflies dance with their seemingly random blinks. I marveled at how a living creature could produce light all on its own. Even today as I share this experience with my children, I

Moore’s Law extends to cover human progress

Electronics News Updates / By Ibrar Ayyub

Moore’s Law, famous for predicting the exponential growth of computing power over 40 years, comes from a simple try-fail/succeed model of incremental improvement. The predictive success of Moore’s Law seems uncanny, so let’s take a closer look to get an idea of where it comes from. Moore conceived his law for computational power but Moore’s-like

DMM provides numerical and graphical displays

Electronics News Updates / By Ibrar Ayyub

The DMM (digital multimeter) is a basic measurement tool for nearly every electrical engineer and many other engineers. With the push to constantly improve power efficiency in electronic designs comes a need to not only measure voltage and current, but to dynamically see them as well. Keithey’s DMM7510 combines a 7½-digit DMM with an 18-bit,

Single Digit Numitron Clock

Electronics News Updates / By Ibrar Ayyub

Numitrons are neat display devices similar to nixie tubes but designed for much lower voltages. Numitrons are basically incandescent displays in which filaments create the segments. They have a retro look that I liked so much. I bought 6x IV-9 Russian Numitrons in eBay, they were about 3$ each, they’re pretty cheap! At that time
