Lithium-ion batteries, like other battery types, are subject to a process of wear and tear during charging and discharging due to chemical changes.
Without battery balancing, the weakest cell in a…
If you're in need of an interactive screen, you have likely searched the internet and found your way to the term “GUI”, short for graphical user interface. You're in the…
Connectors are often seen as the weakest link between sub-systems, and sometimes this is rightly so. This can be as a result of underspecifying the connector system or not appreciating…
This application note provides an introduction to the DDR memory technology and explains common challenges, related to the specific nature of DDR data, command / address and control buses and…
Engineers working on systems built using Internet of Things (IoT) technologies now have access to a huge range of sensor options. The available modalities have moved well beyond temperature and…
Like every component, the fabrication technology used in resistor manufacture has changed over time and resistive films have made a significant contribution in allowing the cost-effective mass production of devices…
Tough Decision: On-Line or Line-Interactive UPS? How to Choose the Right Protection for Your Network
In today's data-driven, technology-dependent world, no organization – large or small – can afford the financial cost, customer frustration and business disruption caused by network downtime.
The good news is…
Utilizing embedded microcontrollers for industrial applications requires special attention given the harsh and noisy environment. Going from a supply voltage as low as +1.5V or +3.3V to the +24V industrial…
Advanced modeling techniques centric to motor and power stage dynamics can yield significant gains in motor control efficiency, assuring precise control that adapts to fluctuations in system behavior in real…
Semiconductor availability is running at a frightening shortage, but demand for the equipment to support production is at an all-time high with many manufacturers planning to expand their capacity. Programmable…
Modern high-performance radio/microwave communications systems utilize digital baseband signal processing (coupled with complex up/down conversion), where very little of the signal processing is performed in the analog/RF domain.
Even the most…
Some impressive devices and machines twenty-first century scientists are building are no bigger than a grain of sand. Many of these constructions incorporate a technology called microelectromechanical systems or MEMS,…
