This project automatically switches off the electrical flow in event of excess heating or excess cooling thus protecting the circuit from damage using NXP NCX2220GU. The comparator guarantees to operate at low voltages which makes this device convenient for use in 5 V systems and has a typical internal hysteresis of 9 mV that allows […]

I really like the STM32 family of ARM microcontrollers. This breakout board is a narrow design that fits perfectly on a breadboard. Every pin is accessible. It has USB, a reset button, and a bootload button. The chip itself has a permanent USB bootloader that is activated by the bootload button. This means that no […]

Michigan Micro Mote (M3) is the world’s smallest computer. How small? It’s about the size of a grain of rice. A University of Michigan’s March report can tell you that the team behind the computer have come up with a fully autonomous system that can act as a smart sensing system. “To be ‘complete,’ a […]

Usually high level quiz competitions are very much time-oriented as it becomes significant to determine who has answered first. So here we’ll see how to make a buzzer system that helps to decide the winners. Actually I designed this circuit of buzzer for quiz program conducted in our area and then I thought it may […]

The LSM6DS3H is a system-in-package featuring a 3D digital accelerometer and a 3D digital gyroscope performing at 1.1 mA (up to 1.6 kHz ODR) in high-performance mode and enabling always-on low-power features for an optimal motion experience for the consumer. The LSM6DS3H supports main OS requirements, offering real, virtual and batch sensors with 4 kbyte […]

Researchers at Stanford University have created a fast-charging and long-lasting rechargeable battery that is inexpensive to produce, and which they claim could replace many of the lithium-ion and alkaline batteries powering our gadgets today. The prototype aluminum-ion battery is also safer, not bursting into flames as some of its lithium-ion brethren are wont to do. […]

This reference design from TI demonstrates the LM46002 SIMPLE SWITCHER® Synchronous Buck Converter and the LMZ21701 SIMPLE SWITCHER® Nano Module. The LM46002 provides a regulated 12V rail from an input of 15V to 60V. The 12V rail is then regulated down to 5V, 3.3V, and 1.8V rails using three LMZ21701 nano modules. Each rail can […]

Microcontroller, as the name suggests, is a small controller. It is like a single-chip computer, which is embedded into other systems to work as a processing and controlling unit. A Microcontroller communicates with other devices like sensors, switches, keypads, etc. Most of the microcontroller-based projects use 8051 microcontroller, and the microcontroller programming is done by […]

In this article we will discuss about the various types of diodes, their working principle and their common uses. We will cover many common diode types, such as P-N junction diode, Zener diode, Schottky diode, LED and laser diodes, photo diode, varactor diode, avalanche diode, PIN diode etc. Feel free to leave a comment with […]

A logic analyzer is an excellent tool for capturing many digital signals at once and displaying their timing relationships. It is particularly useful in verifying and debugging digital circuits. This tutorial is intended to provide a quick overview of a logic analyzer tool and its uses in analyzing and decoding data flowing on multiple signal […]
