Whenever we hear the word floor cleaning robots, the very first name that comes to our mind is Roomba. No doubt, it has gained immense popularity, but it has some concerns too like it is noisy, it faces difficulty in transitioning. Another challenge that Roomba faces is crossing over from hardwood floors to high-pile rugs and thick carpets. With the idea of…
In the era of Internet of Things(IoT), wireless communication is getting increasingly popular in everyday life. In the world of IoT devices, ESP32 is a popular low-cost System on Chip (SoC) microcontroller with built-in hybrid WiFi and Bluetooth chips by Espressif Systems. Because of its robust design and ultra-low power consumption, it has become so popular in IoT…
When you think about a PCB (Printed Circuit Boards) in general you can say it’s a piece of a board made out of fiberglass in which small and complex connections are etched with copper, but after designing hundreds of PCBs, I can tell you its a sophisticated piece of art where a perfectly designed circuit diagram is born, to become a part of the real world. A circuit or…
A lot has changed across the globe in the past one year. The entire planet is going through a peace crisis due to the pandemic that has shaken the world to its core. It was mid-month of March last year when a life-threatening deadly Covid-19 virus took a toll on people’s lives. The second wave was all the more deadlier!
When the COVID-19 pandemic…
It is fair to consider a PCB itself as a component in which multiple traces are connected. Each trace is different, some are high speed, some are low speed, some are noisy, some are used by the return path of circuit current, etc. Now, as we all know, there are lots of variations in ideal circuits and real circuits. Suppose a high-frequency trace is routed with a 7mm copper…
The pandemic has played a spoilsport, and the challenge has quickly shifted to extracting the ROI out of their investments in the current economic scenarios.
Over the past couple of years, 5G started rolling out across the globe, which started representing a landmark move in the history of ICT. The timeline has offered us rich and detailed insights…
During the post pandemic, the user's profile has changed a lot for electric vehicles. Initially, the Electric Vehicle was being purchased as the second two-wheeler in the family, whereas what we are observing now is that it is actually becoming the first vehicle of the family. People who are using public transport for commuting are now opting for personnel mobility. In this…
When you are designing and producing a product, a PCB can easily become one of the most costly components of the whole product, thus lowering the PCB cost can be one of the major factors that can be proven beneficial for lowering the overall production cost. Majorly, the PCB cost can be reduced by cutting the PCB size as well as selecting the proper components, and…
In recent times, Artificial Intelligence has gained momentum, and the need to develop more holistic platforms and solutions that automate business intelligence and analytics processes is the need of the hour. Various companies are making use of machine algorithms to identify trends and insights of their vast data, thereby making faster decisions that potentially position…
Statistics say that the robotics industry is growing at a faster pace than ever! From self-driving car factories to distribution warehouses, the deployment of robotic applications is expected to increase across multiple industries in the foreseeable future.
Robots help in envisioning a near future where humans and machines seamlessly interact…
Operational Amplifiers are the workhorse of analog electronic designs. These humble devices are used from simple voltage followers to complicated inverter designs since the time immemorial. Here at CircuitDigest, we have already discussed a wide range of op-amp circuits and its applications. Today, we will be looking into another interesting concept associated with Op-Amps,…
While designing a PCB, there are a lot of instances where we need to dissipate heat from certain components (Linear voltage regulator for example). In most cases, those devices are generic through-hole components, thus heat sinks effectively distribute the heat inside the area of Aluminium and keep the device in cooler ambient conditions. But if we are talking about any SMD…
