I’ve been an electronics hobbyist for many years, so I’ve used and even built my share of resistance decade boxes. Each one consisted of rotary switches with labels identifying a different power of 10 for each switch. You “dialed up” the desired resistance by turning the appropriate knobs to add up to the target resistance …
Potentially, headphone listening can be technically superior since room reflections are eliminated and the intimate contact between transducer and ear mean that only tiny amounts of power are required. The small power requirement means that transducers can be operated at a small fraction of their full excursion capabilities thus reducing THD and other non-linear distortions. …
This is a little project I made recently, I call it USB A to micro USB bridge and it does what the name says: it’s just a bridge between the USB A female connector and the female micro USB. In the middle there is a DIL pin header that allows you to connect or disconnected …
These recent breakthroughs in electrical component technology are likely to have a significant impact on the electronics industry – and on people’s everyday lives. Graphene – Latest News for Revolutionary Material Your’e probably aware of the superstar conductor of the future, Graphene: “A wonder material that is the world’s thinnest, strongest and most conductive material …

Texas Instruments is one of the most dominant technology companies ever. Behind Intel and Samsung, it is the world’s third largest producer of semiconductors. In addition, they are the largest manufacturer of digital signal processors and analog semiconductors. Young students may just know of TI as producers of their world famous graphing calculators. However, for …

Company Hammond brings to market quality universal holders enabling to use your device even on a DIN rail. DIN rail has admittedly a lot of advantages and no wonder, that it became a very favorite „platformou“ for not only distribution boxes, but also for various alarms, centrals, and other devices even with a finer electronics. …

Professor John A. Rodgers has previously taught us what the future has in store by way of flexible, stampable microelectronics that adhere to the surface of human skin. As revolutionary as those devices can be – providing critical health-related information from real-time physiological monitoring of the human body – they are limited in their ability …
At the heart of this circuit is a precision integrated temperature sensor, LM35 (IC1), which provides an accurate linear and directly proportional output in mV, from 0 to +155 degrees C. Designed to draw a minimal current of its own, the LM35 has very low self heating in still air. Here the output of the …
The Arduino library has always had an “analog Write()” function, even though the AT mega doesn’t have any way to generate a varying voltage. So why the name? Well, what most microcontrollers can do is generate a pulse-width modulated signal, also known as PWM. That’s just a fancy way of saying that the microcontroller periodically …
PORTLAND, Ore. – Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers have sandwiched high-mobility graphene sheets between two ferroelectric materials, resulting in terahertz (THz) frequency operation that can directly operate on optical signals. MIT predicts that the new material stack will lead to memories that are 10-times denser than today and to electrical devices that can directly …
