General Description The HMCAD1512 is a versatile high performance low power analog-to-digital converter (ADC), utilizing time-interleaving to increase sampling rate. Integrated Cross Point Switches activate the input selected by the user. The device contains 2 ADCs that can be interleaved by the user to act as a single channel or two channels. In single channel […]

The Smartphone Quick-Jack Solution repurposes the standard 3.5mm stereo audio jack found on most smartphones into a self-powered data channel that makes communication with these smartphones as easy as plugging a headset jack into the audio port. The hardware/software platform is designed for iPhone® and Android® smartphones. This project will make it easy to connect
It’s not often that I finish the various small projects I undertake. Tesla coils, mass spectrometers, automated tomato plant watering systems, homebrew heaters have all been conceived and sometimes parts bought and assembled with some even making it as far as working. This project however made it all the way to finished. Torchy Oriole Bike

PORTLAND, Ore. — A new world record has been set in wireless data transmission rates — 40 gigabits per second, which is over 40-times faster than the ceiling for Long Term Evolution (LTE) Advanced of 1 Gbit/s. The breakthrough was announced at the Compound Semiconductor Integrated Circuits Symposium conference in San Diego on Oct. 22,
Description After finishing my last project – “Simple LC meter“, there were some discussions in the forum I am a member of, that ability to measure electrolytic capacitors would be very useful in this type of device. I searched the Web and found a very cute project named LCM3 on this Hungarian site: hobbielektronika.hu .
Microkite is a DTX module built to utilise the great potential of the new PIC32MX1xx/2xx microcontrollers. It integrates a power supply able to provide power to the external user circuit as well, a microSD connector for data storage and a USB-UART bridge for easy communication with a PC terminal. The module is intended for inclusion
The first approximation is based on a modification of an expression developed by Wheeler; the second is derived from electromagnetic principles by approximating the sides of the spirals as current-sheets; and the third is a monomial expression derived from fitting to a large database of inductors (and the exact inductance values). All three expressions are

If you´re deciding whether it´s worth to use a backup battery, we bring you a few remarks why to go for it or not. Lithium battery Xeno Energy with a lifetime of over 10 years and rules for their usage were brought to you in our article „10 years of operation for 1 battery?”. They´re
This project describes the design of a very low budget 3D Printer that is mainly built out of recycled electronic components. The result is a small format printer for less than 100$. First of all, we learn how a generic CNC system works (by assembling and calibrating bearings, guides and threads) and then teach the
