The process of designing, manufacturing, and testing ICs is complex and exhaustive. The main contributors are the design and verification teams, IP vendors, and IC manufacturers. The process of ...

Electronics are a hot topic today, and kids are eager to master the fundamentals of this interesting and important branch of technology. Here is a basic electronics course for kids that will teach and ...

The WT32-SC01 is a development board with a visual touchscreen (see Figure 1). The board supports drag-and-drop graphical programming to help less experienced users develop solutions. The main ...

Diodes come in many varieties, and it’s not always obvious how to choose the right one. Let’s start by answering two questions: “What is a diode?” and “why are there so many types?” Actually, let’s ...

Magneto-resistive random access memory (MRAM) is a non-volatile memory technology that relies on the (relative) magnetization state of two ferromagnetic layers to store binary information. Throughout ...

In previous articles, we looked at how to configure the kernel as well as the key components of an embedded operating system (OS). This new article focuses on the hardware components of embedded Linux ...

This is going to be a column that’s divided into three sections. It’s based on a question that a student posed in the EEWeb forums, and he also sent it directly to yours truly. The core of this ...

This article describes the phases for the construction of a Yagi antenna. The calculations of the parameters are made using 4NEC2 software. This type of antenna is used for transmissions and ...

Driving an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for optimum mixed-signal performance is a design challenge. Figure 1 shows a standard ADC driver circuit. During ADC acquisition time, the sampling ...

The long jump is an event in track and field in which the athlete, after a quick run-up, takes off from the ground, trying to land as far away as possible on a platform filled with sand. In addition ...

Oscillators, also called astable multivibrators, are electronic devices that generate a periodic signal. They are employed in a large number of applications such as clocks, oscillophones, musical ...
