Fuel-Gauge ICs Simplify Li-Ion Cell Charge Monitoring

For circuits relying on lithium-ion cells, determining the amount of charge remaining in a cell requires specialized techniques that can complicate the design of energy-harvesting applications. Engineers can implement these techniques with MCUs and ADCs normally used in these applications, but at the cost of increased complexity. Instead, engineers can easily add this functionality to

TE Connectivity Power Tripple Lock – locked three times for ever

TE Connectivity Power Tripple Lock – locked three times, for ever

Audible click, protection against backing out and disengagement together with many versions and attractive price – these are the Power Tripple Lock connectors. Universal connectors for interconnection of leads (wire-to-wire) as well as leads to a PCB (wire-to-board) are necessary every day and practically everywhere. In industrial applications we usually need various connectors. “Various” usually

RGB LED

RGB LED ring clock

Hey, It’s been along time since I’ve posted. but I’ve been keeping busy with uni and working on some cool projects for the last year.   This is something I’d like to share with you guys, it’s not finished yet but the hardware is more or less complete. It is an RGB LED ring clock.

10 years of operation on 1 battery

10 years of operation on 1 battery?

Xeno Lithium batteries offer high capacity at extremely low self-discharge and are able to supply your device for many years. Primary Lithium batteries (Lithium thionyl-chloride, LiSOCl2) represent batteries with the highest energy density (Wh/kg), moreover able to operate without problems even in strong frosts. Perhaps their only technical “drawback” is the fact, that they´re only

How to think in dB

How to think in dB

The dB (decibel) is one of the most common units in engineering, yet also one of the most confusing, especially when it comes to manipulating S-parameters. Here is how not to be confused. The Bel is a fundamentally new unit, which was originally established in 1928 by The Bell System to describe sound levels. This
