Memory is an irreplaceable part of any device. Today, memories can be largely classified into many different categories, but are mainly narrowed down to two of their types i.e. Volatile and Non-volatile, which are then classified into further more types.
Let’s start from the beginning, from the time, methods for memory erasability…
An embedded operating system is a specially designed operation system, which performs specific kinds of tasks in a small segment of memory unit like a Microcontroller/Microprocessor. Why do we need an operating system to complete a task? The answer is no. We use the operating system depending on our purposes like completing tasks within the time-complexity, easy to manage…
There are multiple instances where a well-designed circuit has failed in the POC stage or in the Production Stage because of a bad PCB design. PCB design is an art where all components sit together and the connections are done via copper traces.
It may seem to be an easy job to connect all but is rather a difficult task as different things of the…
With Electric Vehicles gaining immense popularity, lithium-ion batteries too are witnessing a surge in sales, but do you know there are quite a few limitations of lithium-ion batteries and they can prove hazardous for the environment? Yes, you heard that right. Understanding the issues with the most hyped lithium-ion batteries and finding the alternative to these,…
Semiconductors, we all know are the inevitable part of the modern tech world we live in. In fact, the world runs on chips! They are the key component of the electronic device we use, be it electronic devices, cars, medical devices, airplanes, smart appliances, or wearables. Not just that, semiconductors are even used for military purposes and likewise. In a year,…
In this era of the Internet of Things (IoT), we use various embedded devices and systems to execute and obtain data from various fields. Whenever we talk about embedded and IoT devices, we always think about what microcontroller/microprocessor we have used and most importantly what kind of firmware we are going to use to obtain the data precisely, without any time…
Farming in India has been one of the most stressful occupations. Farmers have to face challenges like water scarcity, patchy power supply, and labor issues that consistently lead to poor yield. One of the biggest farming challenges in India is irrigation, which adds to the hardships of the farmers.
Understanding these problems and in the quest to…
Any latest development or a new origin in technology opens doors for new opportunities! With the advent of IoT and more and more IoT devices being developed, there was a dire need for smart cellular technology. The problem of a smart cellular network was resolved with e-SIM. We all are well aware of the SIM cards that are used by our devices like smartphones, tablets,…
The era of automation has begun already. Most of the things that we use now can be automated. To design automated devices first we need to know about the sensors, these are the modules/devices which are helpful in making things done without human intervention. Even the mobiles or smartphones which we daily use will have some sensors like hall sensor, proximity sensor,…
Nowadays, Switching Mode Power Supply or SMPS is used in nearly all electronic devices. That's why as an electronic engineer, it becomes important to understand the concept of voltage mode power supply and current mode power supply and the use cases in a practical scenario. Voltage mode and current mode supplies are simply the two regulating condition that…
On average, 2500 songs are uploaded every hour on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and other streaming platforms which makes 60,000 songs a day and a million music tracks every week. Each day, almost 3-4 hours are spent by average American users listening to their favorite songs. But, have you ever wondered about the technology behind these songs and been amazed by hearing…
Today one of the largest problems that pose an imminent threat to humanity is Food Scarcity. The standard agricultural practices as we know them cannot cope up with the current unpredictable climate change and rainfall scarcity, a feasible solution to this problem could be Precision Farming. The idea behind precision farming is to improve farming efficiency by…
