TDK’s broad portfolio of products is available for immediate shipment globally from Digi-Key.…

Coordinated by Infineon Technologies, the “Design methods and hardware/software co-verification for the unique identifiability of electronic components” (VE-VIDES) research project has officially begun operations. Twelve partners from the research and academic sectors, as well as from electronics and end user industries, are working together to develop a holistic security concept for the Internet of Things.…

An amplifier is a circuit which can produce an output voltage, which is the product of input voltage with a value called voltage gain. An op-amp (operational amplifier) is a kind of amplifier circuit which can perform an operation (addition, subtraction etc.) on the input voltages, apart from simply amplifying the input. It is an electronic…

The world of electronics is all about electrical circuits, electronic components, and interconnected technologies. All these elements can be primarily categorized as digital, analog, or a combination of both. However, here we will be focusing on the basics of the analog category in detail. Analog electronics is a branch of electronics that deals with a continuously variable signal. It’s widely used in radio and audio equipment along with other applications where signals are derived from analog sensors before being converted into digital signals for subsequent storage and processing. Although digital circuits are considered as a dominant part of today’s technological world, some of the most fundamental components in a digital system are actually analog in nature. 

STMicroelectronics, a global semiconductor provider, has begun delivering the first Stellar SR6 automotive microcontrollers (MCUs) for the automotive sector to ensure advanced vehicle electronics that deliver higher levels of performance and safety. The Stellar SR6 scalable MCU family, targeting production in 2024, is architected for high-performing and efficient vehicle platforms. The MCUs are particularly suited to…

In the previous tutorial, we learned about signal behavior and role of a capacitor in a circuit. A capacitor stores electrical charge in the form of the electrostatic field in response to an applied voltage. It charges, whenever applied voltage increases (relative to the current voltage across the capacitor), by allowing a charging current through…

In the previous article, we presented a resistor selection reference table. With the help of this table, you can determine which type of resistor will be most suitable for a given circuit or application. Once you’ve determined which type of resistor suits the best, it’s time to pick up the desired resistor. For that, it…

In a previous article, we discussed various types of fixed resistors, selection of resistor type for a given circuit, and identifying value, tolerance and power rating of fixed resistors. Let’s now talk about variable resistors. The resistance of variable resistors can be adjusted manually or digitally. The variable resistors offer a range of resistance instead…

We have already discussed fixed resistors and variable resistors. Interestingly, resistors are not just limited to be used for limiting current, dropping voltage and dissipating power. There are many special types of resistors which work as transducers too and so, they can be used as sensors in the circuits. A transducer is a  device which…

CUI Inc has announced the production release of its second solution for unlocking power capacity in data center and networking infrastructure. The ICE switch is a power monitoring and switching system that connects to Virtual Power Systems’ ICE (Intelligent Control of Energy)Software to deliver dynamic redundancy inside a data center.  The switch contains two identical modules with up to 50A current per module. It also features  hot-swap functionality and a configurable single-phase or three-phase input. The system is housed in a standard 19” 1U package and carries UL/cUL and TUV 60950-1 safety certifications.

From the gigantic universe to the little atom, Mother Nature with her amazing organization has bestowed unique worth to everything, to the biggest and to the smallest too. The big world of small, where an ant is a behemoth and thousands of atoms can fit on width of single human hair, You are in the startling world of Nanotechnology; ‘Nano’ it is tinier than the tiniest you can see and think!!Nanoscience and Nanotechnology are closely related terms. Nanoscience is the study and understanding of matter at ‘Nano-scale’, where unique properties allow never imagined applications and Nanotechnology is the way for manifestation of such novel applications. In other words, Nanotechnology is precise manipulation, control and use of matter at nano scale for design, characterization, and production for different applications, phenomenon or for specific technology. It is the engineering and technology conducted at ‘Nano’ scale.
