The Microchip Technology PICREF-2 Intelligent Battery Charger (IBC) Reference Design offers a ready-made battery charger solution. This Reference Design is targeted to battery charger applications such as camcorders, portable audio equipment, portable phones, and portable power tools.
Digital Power is the control and management of power supply products using digital controllers or application-specific integrated circuits. The Digital Power market is huge, estimated 1.4 billion units in 2013 with a potential of growth greater than 40 percent a year.
The DCP versus the DAC. One of the major differences is EEPROM memory. Most DACs do not contain EEPROM memory. This is an advantage of the DCP so that the setting can be stored, just as explained with the mechanical potentiometer. This allows for a lot more flexibility with the system since you can eliminate the need for a microcontroller, and just use the digital potentiometer in some cases.
You only need 3 things to build a gps tracker: gps module A1035D, mobile phone Motorola C168i, microcontroller ATTINY84-20PU... and just a bit of patience.
I heard once one guy telling one of his friends : "I'd give my right arm to know what's inside this portable device." He didn't know he was already holding an Arm in his hands.... since ARM designs
The STi7100 is a single-chip MPEG decoder. This device help you to develop the HDTV-oriented projects. The STi7100 gives high performance for low-cost high-definition systems.
Today GPS is involved in many location based services, more and more mobile equipment are integrated GPS feature inside. This article will cover GPS receiver module design based upon existing chip-set,
Datasheet on semiconductors, microcontrollers, discretes, passive and more electronics components parts. Datasheets about the most important brands and datasheet related to the obsolete parts.
This article offers open source software (oss) for FAT over MMC SDC. We have many options of open source TCP/IP stack implementations. However we don't have enough choices for open source FAT file system
How to get started with FPGA DSP designs. We live in a very business oriented society. As a result, new products are subjected to market driven specifications such as time to market and cost. Many of these
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
PCB (printed circuit board) layout optimization to avoid EMI (electromagnetic interference). A PCB layout should not only strive to prevent the emission of noise but also have good noise immunity from outside sources. One should have an understanding of
The purpose of this article is how to do serial port communication using C#. The serial port of the PC is a very important resource both in industrial environment and in home-made electronics, due to the wide popularity of the UART interface which is to
Beagle board, an ARM Cortex OMAP3530 based and USB powered SBC, is a low-cost, high performance, low power development platform. It is only 3 inch square in size, and powered by a USB connection. It is possible to design a Linux based application with
After merging the code from different projects, some of which use open source compilers, I can build my own project with GCC for AVR. The first project consumes 12KB ROM and 1K RAM. I believe the RAM size can be reduced after some optimization. However
The purpose of this article is how to generate analog voltage with digital circuit. Many times, designers are faced with the need of generating analogue voltage levels in purely digital circuits. Although the market provides today a very broad range of
