Evaluation Board

Adding a speaker to an embedded project is not always as simple as connecting it directly to a microcontroller or single-board computer. Most audio sources provide a relatively low-level signal, while a speaker needs more power to produce useful sound output. This is where an audio amplifier becomes important. The PUI Audio AMP2X15 is designed to bridge this gap,…

Texas Instruments (TI) has unveiled two new battery fuel gauges (BQ41Z90 and BQ41Z50). These gauges use Dynamic Z-Track™, a predictive algorithm that is known to deliver industry-leading accuracy in monitoring battery charge and health. Setting them apart from traditional methods, this adaptive tech can achieve state-of-charge and state-of-health readings within 1% error, which helps extend…
