Texas Instruments UCC27288 Half-Bridge Driver is a robust N-channel MOSFET driver with a maximum switch node (HS) voltage rating of 100V. It allows for two N-channel MOSFETs to be controlled in half-bridge or synchronous buck configuration based topologies. Its 3.5A peak sink current and 2.5A peak source current, along with low pull-up and pull-down resistance, allows the UCC27288

Diodes Incorporated has announced a family of automotive-compliant, two-wire unipolar (AH323xQ/4xQ) and latch (AH327xQ/8xQ) switch integrated circuits (ICs) that provide high sensitivity and high stability over wide operating voltage and temperature ranges. The ICs are for use in automotive proximity- and position-sensing applications, including seatbelt buckle, power window, gear selector and seat position. The adoption of two-wire hall switches reduces the

Bison Science is preparing to launch a project that aims to be a perfect solution to the Wi-Fi range limitations of existing boards, called the ESP32-M1 Reach Out Development Board. The ESP32-M1 Reach Out development board is said to increase range up to two to three times, and is quoted to be more than 1.2km. The ESP32-M1 Reach Out is an excellent
Renesas Electronics Corporation has introduced the ZMOD4410, a software configurable Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) sensor platform with IP67 qualified waterproof option. The unique hermetically sealed package protects the device from water and dust with the help of the hydrophobic and oleophobic material that is permeable to humidity and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at the same time. This enables the device
Introduction We built a miniature recording studio using the PIC32 that allows the user to record a short soundtrack, play it back, then layer on additional sounds. We chose to support sounds for three tonal instruments: piano, guitar, and bass, as well as eight unique drum sounds. The user can play a full octave on

Introduction For this project, we constructed an oscilloscope using the PIC32. The inspiration for this project came from the oscilloscopes we used in lab throughout the semester. These oscilloscopes allowed people to view and understand the behavior of a circuit. Without oscilloscopes, many of the circuits we built in class would have been extremely difficult
