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…
Basic Electronics 13 – Types of capacitors
In the previous tutorial, we learned about signal behavior and the 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 the applied voltage increases (relative to the current-voltage across the capacitor) by allowing a charging current…
Basic Electronics 08 – Reading value, tolerance and power rating of resistors
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…
Basic Electronics 09 – Variable resistors
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…
Basic Electronics 10 – Dependent Resistors
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…
Congatec Announces Extended Roadmap to Bring 10GbE Inter-connectivity to Industrial Fields
Congatec, a leading manufacturer of embedded computer modules, single board computers, and embedded design, has unveiled the extended roadmap so as to bring 10 GbE inter-connectivity to the industrial fields. With the introduction of this service, the company aims to realize the industry vision of entirely closed, fanless infrastructure components. These low-power x86 nodes for gateway, edge, and fog computing has various IoT applications ranging from vision system infrastructure for public safety to real-time smart data servers in industry 4.0 applications to rugged telecom and network equipment.
CUI Announces Power Monitoring and Switching System to Unlock Unutilised Power in Data Centers
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.
Electronic Lock using Switches
Assemble the circuit properly. The switch we are using is push to make switch means when you press the switch it conducts and when you release the button switch become disconnected. In our circuit correct code is S1, S3, S5, S8 by pressing this Fig. 2: Protoytpe of Electronic Lock using Switches Circuit on Breadboard…
NanoTechnology
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.

What is Transformer- it’s construction and working
TRANSFORMERS – CONSTRUCTION A transformer primarily consists of three basic parts- a primary winding which receives the electrical energy from the applied voltage source, and a secondary winding which receives the induced electrical energy and a core which provides a circuit of low reluctance for magnetic lines of force. Windings Windings, primary as well as…
