The growing popularity Has your phone vibrated today? Well then, you just experienced a brushless DC (BLDC) motor in action. BLDC motors are synchronous motors that are powered by direct current through a drive module or controller. BLDC motors
From our homes to our offices Light-emitting diode (LED) is increasingly becoming the popular choice of lighting in both homes and commercial premises. This rapidly growing popularity is no surprise as LEDs have proven to be more efficient and long-lasting
Accurate current sensing for better power efficiency There is a global push to ensure electronic circuits to become more efficient so as to cumulatively reduce carbon emissions. Circuit designers and system operators need to understand the level of current through
Taking over hybrid circuits Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors (MLCCs) compose up to 30% of the total components found in a typical hybrid circuit. MLLC’s are made up of the monolithic ceramic block that has comb-like sintered electrodes. The electrodes come
Electricity distribution Schneider Electric Infrastructure previously Smart grid Automation Distribution and Switchgear Limited was incorporated in March 2011. A fresh certificate of incorporation was awarded in December 2011 following the change of name during the same period of time. It
More than just protection Typically, circuit breakers were designed to protect installations. They are designed to trip whenever there is an electrical fault, hence isolating the faulty circuit. However, the global pursuit tame energy consumption has caused manufacturers to push
Brushless motors Brushless DC motors are increasingly becoming popular and rapidly taking over the roles that were previously played by brushed motors. This can be attributed to the brushless motor’s mode of commutation. Unlike its brushed counterpart, the brushless motor
Cyber Security The vulnerability of Internet of Things was laid bare in 2016 when the world was subjected to the most powerful DDOs attacks ever witnessed to date. The infamous Mirai botnet was used to conduct a DDOs attack on
The promise The Internet of things promises to make life simpler, exciting and a lot more fulfilling for every consumer by interconnecting the world around them. The fulfillment of this dream lies in the quantity and quality of actionable information.
Ultra-power (ULP) microcontrollers have undergone an immense transformation in the past 25 years. The ULP industry has put in a lot of effort toward energy conservation. There has been an increased emphasis on battery-powered applications and options to embody wireless
