Linear regulators are easy to implement and have better noise and drift characteristics than switching approaches. Their largest disadvantage is inefficiency: excess energy dissipated as heat. Several well-known techniques are available to minimize the input-to-output voltage across a linear regulator...

Osram Opto Semiconductors is expanding its proven Oslon Black portfolio for infrared illumination with the addition of an infrared LED with a narrower beam angle of ±25°...

PCBWay is a PCB prototype and assembly manufacturer with over 10 years experience. In order to provide a platform for electronic hobbyists to communicate and learn from each other, they hold the PCB design contest...

Elmos introduces with the E523.50, a threefold 72 V half-bridge driver for brushless DC motors. Feasible are automotive applications with 12/24 V- (Trucks) and 48 V board net power supply as well as industrial applications with 24 to 60 V power supplies...

This month marks Seeed Studio’s 10th Year Anniversary as the turn-to company for accessible and affordable electronic hardware development. Seeed made its mark on the global stage as one of the pioneers cultivating the Maker and open source hardware movements...

The filter described below is useful for detecting a signal that’s closely surrounded by spurs, even when the task is complicated by the frequency of the signal of interest wandering by a few percent...

Infineon Technologies is launching a new 1200 V IGBT generation TRENCHSTOP™ IGBT6. It is the first discrete IGBT duopack on the market manufactured on 12 inch wafer size...

It’s become a matter of debate as to precisely when the 78xx series of linear regulators were designed or when they hit the market for that matter. Some will tell you their lineage can be traced back to the µA723 IC voltage regulator designed by Bob Widlar for Fairchild Semiconductor back in 1967...

Toshiba Electronics Europe announced the launch of a new three-phase brushless fan motor controller IC for white good that realizes a high efficiency drive and noise reduction...

This power supply may seem a bit strange, since it’s not stable in voltage or in current. However, it simulates the behavior of a solar panel and can be very useful if you’re working with a solar-powered device on a rainy day...
