ULTRA SMALL QUIESCENT CURRENT DC/DC CONVERTERS FOR IOT AND WEARABLE DEVICES

Ricoh Electronic Devices launched RP516 and RP517 series, buck (step-down) DC/DC converters featuring ultra-low output voltage (0.3 V to 1.2 V) and ultra-low quiescent current (typically 0.3 µA). The new converters are designed for IoT systems. As the IoT market expands, IoT devices with sensors, MCUs, communication ICs, etc. are required to correspond to low voltage to prolong the operating time of the […]

APP NOTE: HOW TO USE POWER INDUCTORS

Electronics News Updates / Ibrar Ayyub

As electronic devices become more advanced, the power supply voltage of LSIs used in them is lowered, so their power consumption can be reduced and their speed increased. However, a decrease in the power supply voltage also causes the requirements regarding voltage fluctuations to become more severe, creating a need for high-performance DC-DC converters to

ARDUINO TAKES CONTROL OF DEAD BUSINESS CARD CUTTER

Arduino News / Tismail

It’s a common enough situation, that when an older piece of equipment dies, and nobody wants to spend the money to repair it. Why fix the old one, when the newer version with all the latest bells and whistles isn’t much more expensive? We all understand the decision from a business standpoint, but as hackers,

ALL BAND RADIO USES ARDUINO AND SI4730

Arduino News / Tismail

It is getting harder and harder to tell homemade projects from commercial ones. A good case in point is [Mirko’s] all band radio which you can see in the video below the break. On the outside, it has a good looking case. On the inside, it uses a Si4730 radio which has excellent performance that would be

Third version Homemade 6 GHz FMCW radar

Electronics News Updates / Ibrar Ayyub

Introduction Previously I made a simple frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar that was able to detect distance of a human sized object to 100 m. It worked, but as it was made with minimal budget and there was a lot of room for improvement. FMCW radar working principle If you have read my previous articles you

Analog Discovery USB isolation

Electronics News Updates / Ibrar Ayyub

Intro Back when I was deverloping the PSU burner, I wanted to have the Analog Discovery isolated from the common ground, to avoid noise and other issues. Since I did not have a way to do this, I ended up using a laptop on battery for measurements. But for long term, I needed to have
