With growing popularity of microcontrollers engineers are using microcontrollers more than FPGAs. The Microcontrollers have become dominant over FPGA because of their cheap cost, good support, easy availability, large community, versatility, programming etc. But other than that microprocessors have some limitations such as the instructions set, sequential execution of…
In previous tutorial, we started with Understanding an Inductor and It's Working, now it is time to explore the different combinations of Inductors. In electronics, Inductors are the most commonly used components after the capacitors and resistors, which are used in different combinations for different applications. We have also used inductor to build metal detectors and…
Ever wondered how does a motor spin? What are the fundamentals involved? How is it controlled? The DC brushed motors have been in the market since a long time and they spin easily on just a DC supply/battery whereas the induction motors and permanent magnet synchronous motors involve complex electronics and control theory to rotate them efficiently. Before we even get to…
Although the ever-increasing number of 5G roll-outs and climbing consumer electronic devices sales will predominantly create a favourable environment for the RF power semiconductor demand growth, automotive industry also remains among the key consumer areas of RF power modules.
Currently, the automotive industry is undergoing a dynamic electric and…
The inductor is one of the major passive components in electronics. The basic passive components in electronics are resistors, capacitors and inductors. Inductors are closely related to the capacitors as they both use an electric field to store energy and both are two terminal passive components. But capacitors and Inductors have different construction properties,…
Abstract- In this paper we present the new quad low side intelligent power switches specifically designed to minimize total power dissipation; thanks to its low Rds(on) per channel and unique in the market the programmable output current limitation and programmable cut-off delay time. Main features of the device, together with applications highlights -based on the…
The power electronics industry has been on an upward spiral and shows no signs of abating, as the trend of electrification penetrates a wider range of industrial domains and entails the requirement of high-tech power electronic devices. In recent years, there has been a marked rise in the need for advanced electricity storage solutions, triggered by the essentiality of…
We started with installing python OpenCV on windows and so far done some basic image processing, image segmentation and object detection using Python, which are covered in below tutorials:
Getting started with Python OpenCV: Installation and Basic Image Processing Image Manipulations in Python OpenCV (Part 1) Image Manipulations in OpenCV (Part-2) Image Segmentation…
When it comes to choosing microcontroller, it is really a confusing task as there are various microcontrollers available in the market with same specifications. So every parameter becomes important when it comes to selecting a microcontroller. Here we are comparing two most commonly used Microcontroller- PIC Microcontroller and AVR Microcontroller. Here they are compared on…
Analyzing circuit network is a crucial part in designing or working with pre-designed circuits, which deals with current and voltage in each node or branch of circuit network. However, this analyzing process to find out current, voltage or wattage of a node or branch, is a bit complex as lot of components are connected together. Proper analyzing also depends upon the…
We started with learning basics of OpenCV and then done some basic image processing and manipulations on images followed by Image segmentations and many other operations using OpenCV and python language. Here, in this section, we will perform some simple object detection techniques using template matching. We will find an object in an image and then we will describe its…
Imagine how nice it would be if you can see the energy consumption of your house or any commercial apartment sitting anywhere in the world. Doesn’t it sound cool? That introduces the concept of Smart Metering. So what is smart meter? – A smart meter is an electronic device which is trending from 15 years which records the consumption of electricity and gives information to…
