Are There Any Duino Projects That Can Create Plasma Devices?

Have you ever encountered plasma’s power? You may observe its process by looking at fluorescent or neon signage. These two lighting techniques exploit the visible light that plasma discharges emit. On a different note, have you heard about Plasma Surface Treatment? It is another use of the matter beyond fluorescent and neon lights. Surfaces can …

DRIVING DOWN THE ON RESISTANCE OF SILICON CARBIDE TRANSISTORS

UnitedSiC has developed silicon carbide transistors in standard packages with the world’s lowest on resistance. Chris Dries, CEO, talks to Nick Flaherty about the significance of the move. UnitedSiC has launched four silicon carbide SiC transistors with the world’s lowest on resistance RDS(on) to open up new applications. What we are doing is pretty incredible …

A CARBON NANOTUBE MICROPROCESSOR MATURE ENOUGH TO SAY HELLO

Did you know that researchers are looking for an alternative to silicon? Did you know in principle that Carbon Nanotubes processor could run three times faster while consuming about one-third of the energy of their silicon predecessor? The Engineers at MIT and Analog Devices have created the first fully programmable 16-bit Carbon Nanotube microprocessor. Since Silicon Transistor …

HOW TO LOWER RELAY POWER CONSUMPTION

Relays are often used as electrically controlled switches. Unlike transistors, their switch contacts are electrically isolated from the control input. On the other hand, the power dissipation in a relay coil may be unattractive for battery-operated applications. You can lower this dissipation by adding an analog switch that allows the relay to operate at a …

PSSST! HERE’S A NOVEL SSB RADIO DESIGN WITH ONLY SEVEN TRANSISTORS

When [Pete Juliano] sat down to design a sideband transceiver for the 20 Meter (14 MHz) ham radio band, he eschewed the popular circuits that make up so many designs. He forged ahead, building a novel design that he calls Pete’s Simple Seven SSB Transceiver, or PSSST for short. What makes the PSSST so simple is not …

A TRANSISTOR-LESS SOUND SYNTHESIZER

A synthesizer without transistors could almost be the basis of a trick question, surely without transistors it must be using a vacuum tube or similar. Not [Dr. Cockroach]’s synth though, instead of transistors it uses coupled pairs of LEDs and light-dependent resistors as its active components. Its oscillator circuit comes courtesy of [Patrick Flett], and uses …
