RGB LED Lighting shields RGB LED lighting shields are designed to drive up to 3 parallel LED strings with a constant current. They are made up of 3 inverter buck converters with current feedback. Every single one of the buck
Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor Alluminium electrolytic capacitors are reputed for their high capacitance per volume. They can be used in almost any electronic system. Their application includes storage of energy and filtering undesired AC frequencies. They exhibit high capacitance and low
Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) An RTOS is an operating system designed to operate in real-time applications. It processes data as it comes in without exhibiting buffer delays. Traditional OS offers non-deterministic, soft-real time responses while RTOS delivers deterministic, hard real-time
Mid-power LEDs Do you see that sleek, ultra-thin HD TV set in front of you? Well, its existence has been made possible by mid-power LEDs. Which can be powered the shift from old cold CRT backlight TV. These are tiny
IoT and Wi-Fi Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly growing across the globe. Its application is now broadening into the various sectors of the economy from manufacturing to agriculture. Wi-Fi has played a critical role in this growth. IoT applications
Introduction The MCP8024 BLDC Motor Driver Evaluation Board is used to show the drive capabilities of the MCP8024. The board incorporates the MCP8024 3-Phase BLDC motor gate driver and dsPIC33FJMC204 PIM to actualize a 6-step trapezoidal BLDC motor control. This
Zero-ohm resistors A Zero-ohm resistors is simply a resistor with zero ohms. It’s a through-hole resistor that has been manufactured to have zero ohm of resistance and is marked with a single black band. A surface-mount ceramic resistor has single
Battery constraints amidst rising power demands Designers for the Internet of Things devices are facing a challenge meeting the conflicting requirements spurred by the customer demand and emerging wireless technologies. Customers are demanding longer battery life whereas emerging networks like
Development kits for IoT Postscape estimates that by the end of this year, 2020, approximately 50 billion devices will be connected to the internet. A huge percentage of these devices are short-range wireless systems that use Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to
Maintenance and Condition Monitoring Maintenance has for a long time been carried out based on a predetermined interval mostly following a predetermined criterion. Condition monitoring has also been based on periodic inspections. The emergence of smart factories is rapidly changing
