“There's never enough time to do all the nothing you want”, charging a battery make me feels like the same.
Researcher’s team at Cornell University led by Ulrich Wiesner, the Spencer T. Olin Professor of Engineering in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, addresses the demand of a battery which has…
IGBT is a short form of Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor, combination of Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT) and Metal oxide Field effect transistor (MOS-FET). It’s is a semiconductor device used for switching related applications.
As IGBT is a combination of MOSFET and Transistor, it has advantages of the both transistors and MOSFET. MOSFET has…
Highly integrated synchronous power module features up to 95 percent efficiency for space- and height-constrained applications
Texas Instruments presents a 5.5V step-down power module that gives a constant output of 6A of current with up to 95% efficiency. TPSM82480 DC/DC module integrates power MOSFETs and shielded inductor into a small footprint…
Opto-coupler is an electronic component that transfers electrical signals between two isolated circuits. Optocoupler also called Opto-isolator, photo coupler or optical isolator.
Often in circuits, especially low voltage or highly noise sensitive circuits, Optocoupler is used to isolate circuitry to prevent electrical collision chances or to exclude…
STMicroelectronics launches its first low voltage motor driver named STSPIN233, suitable for both single and three shunt brushless motor driving integrating a 200mΩ, 1.3Arms power stage, in a slim and small 3*3mm package.
STSPIN233 also has the lowest standby current for the industry, less than …
Analog Devices launched LTM4661 a low power step-up µModule regulator in an ultrathin size 6.25mm x 6.25mm x 2.42mm BGA package.
LTM4661 requires only a few number of capacitor and resistor to complete the design. It takes only 1cm2 of area space single-sided or 0.5cm2 on double-sided PCBs. The Design includes a…
Researchers and Scientists from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology and ITMO University presents a way to increase the efficiency of wireless power transfer over long distance.
Team of researchers from MIPT and ITMO University tested it with numerical simulation and experiments. For achieving this, they transmitted power between two antennas…
STLQ020 trade-offs between quiescent current, output power, dynamic response and package size to give designers extra freedom.
STLQ020 low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulator comes in smaller size with high performance and energy efficient. It’s ideal for use in battery-powered consumer products like tablets, smart phones, smart watches, and other…
Today we will learn about Kirchhoff’s Circuit Law. Before going into detail and its theory part, let’s see what actually it is.
In 1845, German physicist Gustav Kirchhoff was described relationship of two quantities in Current and potential difference (Voltage) inside a circuit. This relationship or rule is called as Kirchhoff’s circuit Law.

In elementary school, we learned that everything is made by atoms. This is a product of three particles: Electrons, Protons and Neutrons. As the name suggest Neutron does not have any charge whereas Protons are positive and Electrons are negative.
In atom, electrons protons and neutrons stay together in a stable formation, but if by any…
In this tutorial, we will learn about Wein Bridge Oscillator which was developed by a German physicist Max Wien. It is originally developed for calculating the capacitance where the resistance and the frequency are known. Before going to the further in depth discussion about what actually the Wein Bridge Oscillator and how it is used, let’s see what is Oscillator and what…
An oscillator is a mechanical or electronic construction which produces oscillation depending on few variables. We all have devices which need oscillators, traditional clock that we all have in our home as a wall clock or wristwatch, various type of metal detectors, computers where microcontroller and microprocessors are involved all…
