The global automotive industry has been going through a tough time since 2020 with the onset of the coronavirus pandemic whose supply chain was massively disrupted. After a gap of two years, the barriers that still exist on the path to recuperate this sector seems a difficult task. The four consecutive waves of this virus followed by the slump in chip production and lack of…
Cells have been used for storing energy from time immemorial, from a Baghdad battery, which dates back to 250BC to newer technology such as a hydrogen fuel cell, that just gives water as a byproduct, batteries have come a long way. A group of cells when connected together is called a battery.
Batteries are touted as the future of energy…
The world’s biggest economy the United States, which recorded an astonishing GDP of 20.49 trillion was also spearheading the semiconductor industry for over a decade, but things have now taken a turn and the country is now failing to compete with its Asian rivals in assembly and test manufacturing, fabrication, and wafer fabrication. According to various experts, the country…
Forty years ago, when I was in high school, my vehicle had two primary pieces of electronic technology that I was concerned with. My 1972 Chevrolet Nova had no Global Positioning System (GPS), driver assist, or backing cameras. I did not even have power windows and locks (Figure 1). I roll cranked the windows down and up and hit all the locks by hand to engage or disengage…
We use Arduino boards in many of our projects. Most of the time we will power it through the USB port. But, that’s not the only way to power an Arduino. In this article we will learn about the four different ways to power an Arduino UNO board. While making any projects, knowing these techniques will be handy in instances when flexibility with regards to the power supply is required.

The industry started witnessing a shortage in semiconductors for the first time since 2020 when demand for electronic items increased during the spring of that year. In fact, chipset purchases and production have been decreased by several customers as the deadly virus started moving across the planet. In the meantime, chipmakers saw the massive demand for…
What is the Arduino IDE? As we know we need a text/code editor to write the code, a compiler to convert that code to machine code or binary files so that the microcontroller can understand, and also programming software to load these firmware files onto the microcontroller. When we combine all these with some additional features like…
Arduino is probably the first thing that comes to mind for most hobbyists and students when they think about embedded systems. It has certainly gained its name among the electronics community, and in fact, we at CircuitDigest use it extensively; you can check out all our Arduino projects. Easy-to-use programming environment and vast support from the online community…
Over the past two years, there has been a huge demand for electronic and automotive products among the people, which is posing a huge challenge to the global chipmakers to meet the same. The massive growth of the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and the current augmenting demand from high-tech industrial sectors and the IT hardware industry would…
In spite of a successful vaccination schedule all over the world, the impact of the pandemic is still persistent across several industries, especially those that depend on semiconductors and chipsets. The intricacies of supply chain management are still rampant and extensive with the ongoing shortage of chips restraining production and preventing sales. The shortage is…
