It’s common for I2C systems to have both standard and fast devices on the same bus. For I2C systems, the speed and power consumption both depend on the values of pullup resistors...

This article discusses the use of dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) to achieve precise voltage regulation. DVS is a process that adjusts the output voltage slightly higher or lower in anticipation of load transients...
Electronic equipment uses predominantly positive voltage rails for power. Occasionally, some negative voltage rails are also used...
An obstacle detection unit is an essential part of a variety of projects, such as robotics and security applications. The infrared sensors are widely used for these types of applications...
ROHM has developed a linear operational amplifier (op amp) – LMR1901YG-M – featuring the lowest current consumption in the industry...
In electrical heating applications, resistive heaters are powered through phase angle-controlled SCR/triac circuits to vary the applied voltage/power to maintain the required temperature. Phase angle control produces a lot of harmonics leading to power line disturbances...
FinFETs redefined chip design when they came onto the scene more than a decade ago. While these nonplanar transistors are still the unofficial industry standard, they may be nearing the end of their life...
Seeed Studio has launched a new entry in the XIAO family of small form factor microcontroller development boards, built around the Espressif ESP32-C6: the RISC-V XIAO ESP32C6, boasting Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3 Low Energy (BLE), and Matter-ready IEEE 802.15.4 connectivity...
A recent trend in the design of portable devices has been to use ceramic capacitors to filter DC/DC converter inputs. Ceramic capacitors are often chosen because of their small size, low equivalent series resistance and high RMS current capability...
Although adequate for undemanding applications, the circuit suffers from several drawbacks which may limit its suitability...
