Diodes Incorporated today announced the BCR430UW6 linear LED driver with ultra-low dropout voltage and constant current regulation between 5mA and 100mA. This combination allows more LEDs to be driven from a low supply voltage, making the BCR430UW6 suitable for applications that require multiple LEDs to operate together, such as signage illumination and architectural lighting for commercial and retail […]

Current Source and Current sink are two major terms used in electronics design, these two terms dictate how much current can leave or enter a terminal. For example, the sink and source current of a typical 8051 Microcontroller digital output pin is 1.6mA and 60uA respectively. Meaning the pin can deliver (source) up to 60uA when made High and […]

Infineon Technologies AG broadens its EiceDRIVER™ portfolio with the 650 V half-bridge gate drivers based on Infineon’s unique silicon on insulator (SOI) technology. The products provide leading negative transient voltage immunity, monolithic integration of a real bootstrap diode, and superior latch-up immunity for MOSFET and IGBT based inverter applications. These unique features enable more robust and reliable designs […]

Infineon Technologies AG has collaborated with software and 3D Time-of-Flight (ToF) system specialist pmdtechnologies ag to develop reportedly the world’s smallest, most powerful 3D image sensor. Designated the REAL3, the single-chip solution measures just 4.4 x 5.1 mm and is the fifth generation of time-of-flight deep sensors from Infineon. The sensor can be incorporated into even the smallest devices with just […]

When designing an electronic circuit, there are lots of situations when a circuit requires different values of voltage and current sources. For example, when setting the preset voltage for an Op-Amp, it is very common to use a potential divider circuit to obtain the required voltage values. But what if we need a specific value of current? […]

Barely a week after Lattice semiconductor announced the launch of the CrossLink-NX family of FPGA, Greg Davill, in his amazing way of posting the entire development process in a twitter thread, has announced the launch of a development board based on the Lattice Crosslink-NX 72QFN. The new board which is called the ArcticKoala was created using some of the sources from recent FPGA tools like […]

A switched capacitor voltage converter performs energy transfer and voltage conversion using capacitors. There are mainly two types of switched capacitor voltage converters, first is the voltage inverter circuit and the second is the voltage doubler circuit. These types of circuits are commonly known as charge pump circuits. In this project, we will design a switched capacitor voltage inverter using Texas Instruments LMC7660S IC, and […]

Axiomtek – a world-renowned leader relentlessly devoted in the research, development and manufacture of series of innovative and reliable industrial computer products of high efficiency – is pleased to introduce the GOT115-319, a 15-inch fanless touch panel computer with a thickness of only 50 mm for used in space-constrained environments. It is powered by the Intel® Celeron® processor […]

An inverter is a circuit that converts Direct Current (DC) to Alternating Current (AC). A PWM inverter is a type of circuit that uses modified square waves to simulate the effects of Alternating Current (AC), which is suitable for powering most of your household appliances. I say most-of because there generally exist two types of inverters, the first type is the so-called a modified square […]

AAEON’s UP project has launched an edge computing enabled kit called the UPX Edge. The system which was developed to power industrial automation, robotics, AI, and IoT applications, is built around the Intel 8th Gen Whiskey Lake-U based UP Xtreme board and comes preloaded with an Ubuntu 18.04 image based on Linux kernel 5.0 It was initially available on Kickstarter […]
