Series connected MOSFETs increase voltage power handling

Series-connected MOSFETs increase voltage & power handling

This Design Idea presents a simple, proven, reliable, and robust method for charging large capacitor banks, using a series connection of power MOSFETs to raise the breakdown voltage over that of an individual MOSFET. When a power supply drives a large capacitive load, inrush current, if not limited, can reach tens or hundreds of amps

MCUs with High Resolution Graphics Control

MCUs with High-Resolution Graphics Control

The human-machine interface, once simply known as an “operator panel” or “terminal”, is changing rapidly, due to the graphical, visual way operators now interact with an industrial machine or process. At one time, designers of these systems could get by with a three-line segmented LCD display. Today, LCD interfaces are quickly replacing traditional LED and

Interfacing BMP180 temperature and pressure sensor on Arduino UNO

Interfacing BMP180 temperature and pressure sensor on Arduino UNO

The BMP180 is a new generation digital barometric pressure and temperature sensor from Bosch Sensortec. In this tutorial, we will briefly review this device and describe how to interface it with an Arduino Uno board for measuring the surrounding temperature and pressure. We will also discuss about retrieving the sensor altitude from its pressure readings. Experiment setup
