A Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) is an indispensable part of any electronic design. It is used to convert mains high-voltage AC to low voltage DC, and it does it by first converting the mains AC to high voltage DC, then switching the high voltage DC to generate the desired voltage. We have already made a few SMPS circuits earlier, like […]

AAEON, an industry leader in factory AI and Edge Computing solutions, announces the latest product in the UP line of products, the UP Xtreme board and UP Xtreme Edge embedded system, also called UPX Edge. With the power of the 8th Generation Intel® Core™ processors, the UP Xtreme is built to power industrial automation, robotics, AI, and IoT applications. The […]

In our previous Nuvoton Microcontroller tutorials, we used a basic LED blinking program as a getting started guide and also interfaced GPIO as an input to connect a tactile switch. With that tutorial, we are fully aware of how to configure the Keil project and set up the environment for programming N76E003 Nuvoton microcontroller. It is time to […]

SEGGER just released Ozone V3.10, a major update to its full-featured graphical debugger and performance analyzer. The new release includes support for custom instructions, allowing disassembly of application-specific instructions added to the CPU core to tailor it for the particular application. Custom instructions are defined in plug-in scripts, which can be easily edited by the user of Ozone or […]

UART stands for Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter and it is a useful hardware feature in any microcontroller unit. A microcontroller needs to receive data, process it, and send it to the other devices. There are different types of communication protocols available in the microcontroller, however, UART is the most used one among the other communication protocols like SPI […]

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 […]

Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) is a commonly used technique in microcontrollers to produce a continuous pulse signal with a defined frequency and duty cycle. In short, PWM is about changing the width of a pulse while the frequency is constant. A PWM signal is mostly used in controlling a servo motor or brightness of an […]

Displays are an important part of any device in today’s world and while several advancements have been made in their quality with improved resolution and low power features, almost little has changed when it comes to the complexity involved with creating beautiful user interfaces for devices. This is why the team at STONE created the STVC035WT-01 intelligent Smart display. […]

In the modern world, we use batteries in almost every electronic gadget from your handheld mobile phone, digital thermometer, smartwatch to Electric Vehicles, aeroplanes, satellites, and even Robotic Rovers used on Mars whose battery lasted around 700 sols (Martian days). It is safe to say without the invention of these electrochemical storage devices a.k.a. Batteries, the […]
