A homing sensor is a device used in certain machines to detect a fixed reference point, allowing the machine to determine its exact starting position. When powered on, the machine moves until it triggers the sensor, so it can accurately track ...
When to use over brushless alternatives Recent years have seen growing adoption of brushless DC motors. They are smoother and more efficient than brushed motors and have lower maintenance demands and higher torque-to-power ratios. On the other ...
Arc generator modules may be small in scale, but they offer big opportunities for hands-on exploration in electronics. Whether you are experimenting with arc simulation, testing circuit behavior under fault conditions, or simply curious about ...
Most differential field bus technologies, like CAN and RS-485, specify a parameter called common-mode voltage. Common-mode voltage refers to the range of bus input voltages, with respect to the transceiver’s ground, within which the ...
Electronic designers must be aware of the ideal charging method, as it increases the battery’s lifetime and enhances its performance. Nowadays Lithium-ion/Lithium-polymer are used extensively in portable electronic devices that are frequently ...
This article explains the basis for achieving an optimized board layout, a critical aspect in the design of switch-mode power supplies. A good layout ensures stable functioning of the switching regulator and minimizes radiated interference as well ...
Most engineers are familiar with boost converters, which step up the output voltage (V OUT ) to a value that exceeds the input voltage (V IN ). They are also familiar with buck-boost converters and single-ended primary-inductor converter (SEPIC), ...
This article will describe how Bode plots can be used as a tool to quickly assess if your power supply design will meet the requirements for dynamic control behavior. Power supplies normally maintain a fixed output voltage via a control loop. This ...
Integrated circuit (IC) power is responsible for controlling, managing, providing, and distributing source voltage to electrical circuits as well as other ICs in the circuit. Basically, power ICs have the function of converting, stabilizing, and ...
John Bradnam hackster.io Use the latest ATtiny processors in the Arduino Environment. These have the memory capacity of ATmega chips in smaller and cheaper packages. Things used in this project Hardware components: Microchip ATTiny1614 , 14 Pin ...
