XD9260 61 – 1.5A HI-SAT COT SYNCHRONOUS STEP-DOWN DC DC CONVERTER

XD9260/61 – 1.5A HI-SAT COT SYNCHRONOUS STEP-DOWN DC/DC CONVERTER

XD9260/61 – 1.5A Hi-SAT COT Synchronous Step-Down DC/DC Converter, AEC-Q100 compliant The XD9260/XD9261 series is a small 1.5A synchronous step-down DC/DC converter with high-speed transient response and low quiescent current. The extremely fast load transient performance is a result of Torex’s innovative Hi-SAT COT (Constant On-Time) control method, which, when compared to standard Constant On-Time …

LITTLE BEE, AFFORDABLE HIGH-PERFORMANCE CURRENT & MAGNETIC FIELD PROBE

LITTLE BEE, AFFORDABLE HIGH-PERFORMANCE CURRENT & MAGNETIC FIELD PROBE

A campaign for a current probe called Little Bee was launched on Crowdsupply. Little Bee is an affordable and high-performance current probe and magnetic field probe that enables you to debug and analyze electronic devices more effectively. This device comes in handy because current probes available today are expensive, therefore having a limited number of users. Current probes …

Robotic Candy Sorter

Introduction Many embedded systems leverage a hierarchical structure in their product architecture for a more robust and efficient product. The more complex the product becomes, it is more preferable to segment tasks according to the processing unit’s role to observe optimal tradeoffs in the system. For instance, it would be impractical for a single processing …

IoT Hand Gesture Video Control

Introduction In this project, we designed and implemented a system that will utilize light & shadow and relative distance to to recognize the single hand gesture in the air and use different gestures as commands like volume up or speed up to control a video playing. While using keyboard keys to control videos can sometimes …

NEW FLEXIBLE RECHARGEABLE SILVER OXIDE-ZINC BATTERY 10 TIMES STRONGER THAN LITHIUM BATTERIES

NEW FLEXIBLE RECHARGEABLE SILVER OXIDE-ZINC BATTERY 10 TIMES STRONGER THAN LITHIUM BATTERIES

A team of researchers made up from the University of California San Diego and California-based company ZPower have developed a flexible, rechargeable silver oxide-zinc battery with a 5 to 10 times greater energy density than standard batteries. A good characteristic of the battery is that it is easier to manufacture because most flexible batteries need to be manufactured in sterile conditions, under vacuum, …

Image Plotter

Image Plotter

Introduction Our ECE 4760 final project was an image plotting system with high-level processing done in a MATLAB script we wrote and the low-level control software done on the PIC32MX250F128B microprocessor. Our MATLAB program takes images and extracts endpoints of line segments and sends the coordinates over to the PIC32 via UART serial communication. The …
