Simple Addition Permits Voltage Control Of DC-DC Converter's Output
In a standard dc-dc converter, a resistor divider typically defines a fixed output voltage. However, applications like programmable output voltage power supplies and motor control circuits require dynamic control of the dc-dc converter's output voltage...
Industry's first DC/DC controllers with an integrated active EMI filter enable engineers to achieve the smallest low-EMI power designs
Texas Instruments introduced a new family of synchronous DC/DC buck controllers that enable engineers to shrink the size of the power-supply solution and lower its electromagnetic interference...
Simple method tests cables
Engineers have long known how to test a cable for continuity by simply connecting all conductors in series and checking with an ohmmeter. This method is sometimes impractical, however, because it cannot check for short circuits. The method solves the short-circuit problem...
STMicroelectronics Unveils Next-Generation MEMS Accelerometer for High-Performance Automotive Applications
The STMicroelectronics AIS2IH three-axis linear accelerometer brings enhanced resolution, temperature stability, and mechanical robustness to non-safety automotive applications including anti-theft, telematics, infotainment, tilt/inclination measurement, and vehicle navigation...
Dialog Semiconductor Adds Industry's Lowest Power Flash Devices to its IoT Portfolio
Dialog Semiconductor announced the launch of the AT25EU family of SPI NOR Flash devices, to support the development of power-conscious, size-constrained connected devices...
Motor controller operates without tachometer feedback
Speed controllers have long exploited the reverse-EMF characteristics of dc motors to control their speed. These linear driver circuits use power op amps to create a negative resistance drive to the motor that counteracts the voltage drop in the motor’s series resistance...
TDK introduces revolutionary MEMS-based CO2 gas sensor platform
TDK Corporation announces the InvenSense TCE-11101, a miniaturized ultra-low power MEMS gas sensor platform for direct and accurate detection of CO2 in home, automotive, IoT, healthcare, and other applications...
Frequency comparator has status output
The original application for the circuit was to check the number of revolutions of an engine with only one LED as an indicator. The measurement of the number of revolutions usually involves sensors with a frequency output proportional to the number of revolutions...
