ANALOG DEVICES’ TINY ΜMODULE BOOST REGULATOR FOR LOW VOLTAGE OPTICAL SYSTEMS

Analog Devices, Inc. has announced the Power by Linear LTM4661, a low power step-up µModule regulator in a 6.25mm x 6.25mm x 2.42mm BGA package. Only a few capacitors and one resistor are required to complete the design, and the solution occupies less than 1cm²single-sided or 0.5cm²on double-sided PCBs. The LTM4661 incorporates a switching DC/DC controller, […]

A Programmable Optical Slave Flash Trigger for Digital Cameras with Processor PIC 12F675

The synchronizer ensures a contact-free, optical synchronization of external photographic flashguns. The triggering of the external flash is derived from embedded flashes of a camera. It can be used for both digital and “analogous” cameras or for a remote synchronization of the actual flash units. Its use is optimal especially with digital cameras (DC), where

Mirror “Tube” – LED Optical illusion

One day, looking for interesting schemes with light effects to construct, came across this wonderful effect. Quite liked the idea but did not know how to accomplish is, until one day found the way. Subsequently construct my own mirror that had to not only try out my skills in electronics but and processing of wood
