Microchip and OnSemi (On Semiconductor) propose to acquire Atmel. This is not a good news for the electronics designers or for the electronics operators, creating big discussions on related blog and forums. Let's analyze the facts!
AC-Safe can protect or filter the phone line and protect or filter the ac power supply (mains), from lightnings (or surges) and extra currents. Toss in a few modifications, and also noise coming from power lines can be easily filtered.
Radio Mobile is a free RF design software that was originally created for amateur radio applications but can also be used for commercial radio systems design. It was developed and continuously being developed by Roger Coudé (VE2DBE), an amateur radio enthusiast.
GCubiks, the new 3D Glasses, was shown in Los Angeles during the "Special Interest Group on GRAPHics and Interactive Techniques" convention. A device is being developed that could allow people to see three-dimensional images, including moving and speaking people, as a method of communication in a palm-sized machine.
DIY: soldering BGA ICs on PCB in your garage/lab without professional facilities. It is a headache to have a BGA IC mounted on the PCB if it is a small project. Today I want to share something about soldering.
VIDEO CODECs FOR YOUR APPLICATION.
Back in the old days when there was only analog video, there was not much concern on transmission bandwidth or storage capacity. But with the advent of digital video, it became necessary to develop video compression technologies that would fit digital signal into available media. Standard Definition video or SD-SDI requires a bandwidth of 270 Mbps while High Definition video or HD-SDI requires 1.5 Gbps.
Datasheet on semiconductors, microcontrollers, discretes, passive and more electronics components parts. Datasheets about the most important brands and datasheet related to the obsolete parts.
A PCB (printed circuit board) has more functions than just being a power facilitator as it provides mechanical support for the many components that are attached to it; it is the backbone of the electronic device, conforming to overall shape and dimensions, provides for signal fan out opportunities, etc.
Linux is a Unix-type operating system which uses the Linux kernel. The name - Linux- comes from the Linux kernel, written in 1991 by Linus Torvalds. The system's utilities and libraries usually come from the GNU operating system, announced in 1983 by Richard Stallman. The following article presents some boards that are running on Linux.
HDTV (high definition television) is digitally broadcast because digital TV requires less bandwidth. HDTV or High-Definition Television is a digital television system with greater resolution than analog or standard definition (SDTV) television systems.
This method requires having a number of microcontroller pins available to be used for this specific task only. It is a very cheap method, as it only requires a few resistors of two different values only. The circuit shown in Figure 1 depicts an 8-bit DAC built around the available pins of the microcontroller using 2kOhm and 1kOhm resistors. To simplify the Bill of Materials, you could also use only 1kOhm resistors, by using two of them in series instead of each 2kOhm resistor.
Cern scientists expect to find answers to many important subjects of physics such as the origin of universe, up to now explained with the big bang theory. Since the boson seems tied to the very origin of the universe, hence to the beginning of life, boson is also known as god particle.
GPS tracking systems are well known GPS based applications in daily life. Some applications can run independently, such as navigation, geo-tagging and passive track logger.
