World’s Wireless Record Breaks 40 Gbit/s

Electronics News Updates / Ibrar Ayyub

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,

Advanced LC meter

Electronics News Updates / Ibrar Ayyub

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 DTX module Using Arduino

Electronics News Updates / Ibrar Ayyub

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

Single layer Planar spiral coil inductor calculator

Electronics News Updates / Ibrar Ayyub

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

EWaste 60$ 3DPrinter Using Arduino

Electronics News Updates / Ibrar Ayyub

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

Quick-Turn PCB shop review project: Step 1, the PCB

Electronics News Updates / Ibrar Ayyub

Well, the “Test PCB” project is finally underway. In case you don’t remember my original blog, the idea is to send a PCB design out to a half-dozen or so low-cost PCB prototype shops, then review their service and quality. I’ve created a 6 × 6cm double-sided design for this project. I would have made

Flyback switcher works down to 1.1V, flashes HBLEDs

Electronics News Updates / Ibrar Ayyub

This Design Idea shows a way to drive low-power electronic circuits using a single 1.5V cell. The design is based on a free-running oscillator that drives a flyback transformer to generate a controllable higher voltage. It can be used to power analog circuitry, microcontrollers, and any other light loads. The power circuit was designed, simulated,

Monitor IC optimizes board energy consumption

Electronics News Updates / Ibrar Ayyub

A four-channel PMBus digital power-system manager IC, the LTC2975 from Linear Technology, performs current, power, and energy monitoring of the intermediate-bus input to point-of-load (POL) converters. The device relieves the host of burdensome computation and poling by providing the energy consumed, reported in joules, and the elapsed time through a PMBus interface. When combined with
