Adding to its high current system chipset portfolio, Infineon claims to offer the industry’s first 16-phase digital PWM multiphase controller. The XDPE132G5C extends the existing portfolio w... Read more
Designers of portable Li-ion battery-powered electronics now have a simplified and more flexible way to add a USB Type-C (USB-C) charging system to their products with the MAX77860 3A switch... Read more
The emerging trend of smart lighting and Internet of Things, requires a new generation of LED drivers. InfineonTechnologies AG introduces the new member of its XDP LED series, the XDPL8221 f... Read more
In electronics, linear voltage regulators are commonly used to stabilize voltages. Regardless of the input voltages or load conditions, they will provide fixed output voltages, thus protecti... Read more
What if I told you that you could build a display out of shoe laces!? Well that is exactly what I’ve done! Building your own seven segment display is nothing new, it’s a very com... Read more
LEDs are designed to emit light, but they also make surprisingly capable sensors. Using only an Arduino UNO, an LED and a resistor, we will build a hot LED anemometer that measures wind spee... Read more
e-peas has announced the introduction of a new power management IC specifically optimized for energy harvesting from thermal sources in wireless sensors application. Supplied in a space-savi... Read more
Introduction Current measurement can be really awkward when working with circuits. Voltage measurements are (usually) straightforward, but when it comes to current measurements the story is... Read more
Zener Diode Tester is controlled by Arduino Nano. Tester measure breakdown Zener voltage for diodes from 1.8V to 48V. Dissipation power of measured diodes could be from 250mW to a few Watts.... Read more
A research team from UC Berkeley Univercity (Daniel S. Drew, Nathan O. Lambert, Craig B. Schindler, and Kristofer S. J. Pister) has designed and build mini microbot that is capable of taking... Read more
