Introduction As generative artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques rapidly increase networking demands within hyperscale data centers, the capabilities and scalability of high-speed interconnect solutions must correspondingly progress. By expanding its META-DX2C 800G retimer offering to include a comprehensive hardware reference design and Common Management Imarmnterface Specification (CMIS) software support package, Microchip Technology is streamlining […]

Introduction Cars these days are surrounded by technology. They come loaded with all sorts of electronic gadgets and sensors. This project wants to help the big car companies, called original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), build cars that can easily share information between all of these onboard gizmos. The plan is to develop newer Ethernet technology that […]

TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) diode is a component specially used for protecting circuits. It can absorb excessive voltage pulses in an instant to prevent the protected system from being damaged. This article will introduce the working principle, parameters, application, selection and precautions of TVS diodes in detail.   What is a TVS diode? TVS diode […]

Printed circuit boards are found in almost all electronic devices today. These boards comprise electronic components interconnected by a web of pathways enabling functionality and performance. The choice of PCB fabrication process is very important, as it can determine the quality of the product, its efficiency, reliability, and the cost involved. Select the best PCB […]

Embedded microprocessors are small computer chips that we found in nearly all electronic devices. From the laptop to the PC, mobile phone, washing machine, microwaves or any heavy industrial machine, these microprocessors are implemented to perform dedicated functions. They contain the central processing unit (CPU) of a computer and are capable of executing millions of […]

Overview Various types of computers are tailored to specific functions. The computer inside your laptop, for instance, serves different purposes compared to the ones found in your phone or mouse. At the most basic level, there are computers designed to manage input from the physical world and regulate output devices. These are commonly referred to […]

Introduction Being able to display data from a microcontroller visually has many advantages. It allows for menus, status indicators, and instructions to be intuitively shown to users. When paired with an LCD, a microcontroller becomes a powerful tool for building interactive electronic devices and systems. One excellent combination is interfacing an HD44780 LCD with PIC18F4520 […]

ABSTRACT This project designed an embedded system using a microcontroller to monitor the amplitude of the main voltage supply and disconnect it if it increases or decreases outside of a predefined required voltage range (RVR). The system also aims to automatically reconnect the supply once the voltage returns to the RVR. This protective functionality is […]

At the OPEnS Lab, a key focus for our projects is achieving exceptionally long battery life. This was particularly true for the OPEnSampler, a device that presented a unique challenge due to its need for simultaneous operation at three different voltage levels (3.3V, 5V, and 12V). While existing circuits using MOSFETs could manipulate power sources […]
