Industry’s Most Sensitive MEMS Mic

PORTLAND, Ore. — In its rush to get to market “while the iron is hot,” Vesper Technologies Inc. (Boston) has announced what it still claims is the industry’s highest signal-to-ratio (SNR) for a high-definition (HD) microelectromechanical system (MEMS) microphone, even though it is scaled back to 68dB rather than the astounding 70dB SNR MEMS mic […]

IR remote tester

IR remote tester

O circuito não necessita de muitos componentes…basta um microcontrolador, um receptor de infravermelhos e alguns leds para indicarem o nível de dados recebidos pelo comando. Funciona com qualquer comando desde que seja infra-vermelhos. O microcontrolador que usei foi o 12F683 da Microchip em formato SOIC. Apenas precisa de 2 pilhas AAA e consome apenas 0.8mhA

TI introduces worlds first multichannel inductance to digital converters

TI introduces world’s first multichannel inductance-to-digital converters

Texas Instruments (TI) announced the world’s first multichannel inductance-to-digital converters (LDCs). The four new devices in the LDC1614 family expand the innovative LDC portfolio, a data converter category that TI first introduced in 2013. The devices offer two or four matched channels and up to 28-bit resolution in a single integrated circuit (IC). The combination
