Brushless DC Motors Brushless DC (BLDC) motors are that employ electronic commutation of the windings as opposed to mechanical commutation. As such, BLDC motors rely on some method of determining the angular position of the rotor to provide information for
Brushless DC (BLDC) motors Brushless DC motors have become gained profound popularity among engineers and designers in the recent past. This growing popularity can be attributed to its design. The lack of brushes makes it long lasting since wear and
Sensirion Sensririon was founded in 1998 and has gone on to become the world’s leading manufacturer of flow and environmental sensors. Senserion manufactures surface-mount (I2C) sensors for humidity, temperature and gas sensing. The traditional way of testing sensors involves soldering
Low power technologies Developments of low power technologies have been driven largely by IoT connectivity. The end products of these technologies range from smartphones, fitness wearables to smart meters. All these products have design constraints chief of which is ultra-low
The Hexiwear Imagine an IoT development kit that can fit in your palm. The kind of IoT kit that is small, sleek consumes little power and is packed with sensors to quantify oneself and the world around it. Well, imagine
Delivering much more for less energy We live in a day and age when energy efficiency is the major differentiator for manufacturers of electromechanical switches and sensors. This is as a result of a global campaign to cut down on
Sensors We live in a world full of sensors from our homes, offices to our cars. Sensor work to make our lives easier by enabling us to control our surrounding. Sensors are devices that are used to detect a physical
Current Sensing In power-related applications, it is very important to know the amount of current flowing through the conductor. There are many ways of measuring current hence it is important to understand each one of them so that you make
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
Overcurrent protection Inline fuses are the most popular overcurrent protection components across the globe. You see the plug in your fridge, TV, Iron box, Laundry machine, and Home theatre? They have inline fuses. Virtually every electronic device that is plugged
