What if the rear-view mirror in an electric three-wheeler was actually a screen showing live video from cameras around the vehicle? That was one of the interesting features we spotted at ROHM Semiconductor's booth at electronica India 2026. The smart EV demo included a motor controller rated at approximately 5-8 kW, a battery management system (BMS), and a dedicated board for controlling…
Technology has brought about a drastic change in the way we communicate with each other facilitating mobility and connectivity. The development of information and communication technologies has ignited a new type of human-computer interaction. How? In the form of wearable technology, it has been here for quite some time now and its popularity is increasing day by day.

Agriculture is undergoing an evolution and technology is fast becoming an indispensable part of farming. To a great extent, the agricultural industry relies on innovative ideas and technological advancements to help increase crop yields. From automation and robotics to connected livestock, the next generation of farming is indeed going to leave us amazed. Today, the Internet…
Reducing the dependency on oil and opting for efficient energy transformation to significantly reduce carbon dioxide footprints and lowering the local emissions from transport is the need of the hour. It is for this reason that electric mobility has been the subject of discussions over the past few years. Simply put, electric mobility is a prominent topic in environmental,…
When we talk about the most impactful technologies of today that have a very bright future, 3D scanning technology indeed deserves a mention. 3D scanning technology provides an innovative approach to digitally capture the shape of a physical object by creating “point clouds” of data from the surface. Despite being in its initial stages, this technology is…
Antennas are everywhere these days, most of the mainstream technologies like smartphones, security, and IoT devices use antennas to communicate between them and that's why RF becomes one of the most fascinating and robust corners of engineering and design. So, my goal today is to give readers some of the basic ideas about what an antenna is, how it works & how to build…
Electric mobility is the need of the hour and over the past few years, the interest level around Electric vehicles has increased tremendously. Batteries are an important part of electric vehicles and they cover about 40% of the total cost of manufacturing of the electric vehicles. Study shows that the Li-ion battery market in India will grow by about 132 GWh by 2030 growing…
Numerical relays help in protecting different electrical equipment like generator, transformers, transmission lines, and motors. Therefore, many simple yet important things need to be checked with a Numerical Relay, like its running time (which can be manually set), current clock time, and current date.
Now, it's common that many people…
A voltage regulator is a simple and cost-effective device that can change the input voltage to a different level at the output and can maintain a constant output voltage even in varying load conditions. Almost all electronic devices from your cell phone charger to air conditioners to complex electromechanical device uses a voltage regulator to provide the different DC…
For any electronic product, be it a complex mobile phone or any other simple low-cost Electronics toy, Printed Circuit Boards (PCB) is an essential component. In a product development cycle, design cost management is a huge issue and PCB is the most neglected and costlier component on the BOM. PCB costs much more than any other component used in a circuit, so reducing the…
Selecting the right communication medium is usually a very challenging part of the development of any IoT solution. In situations where range beyond that of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth is required, options are usually between the LPWAN technologies like LoRa, Sigfox, etc. but while these technologies come with Pro-IoT features like low power and long-range, they are saddled with…
Let's say you are in the final stage of prototyping or have developed a new electronic product and you are thinking of scaling up and selling your product in the mainstream market. While you can easily source the PCB’s, sensors, and other electronic/electrical components, you often stumble getting a casing, especially when the product needs a customized casing or when…
