A series of well-curated articles to understand the fundamental of electronics. The articles in this section elucidates basic concepts of electronics and design tips that can be equally useful to beginners and experts.

Compared to DC voltage/very low frequency based comparator applications, the High-Frequency Comparator applications require additional parameters and considerations to provide better signal processing efficiency. Like DC Voltage applications, in High-Frequency applications also, the Op-Amps are being used instead of comparators. But, during high-frequency signal processing,…

Panasonic India feels that India has a huge potential in building smart factory solutions and SMT manufacturing will be the key connecting factor here.

The demand of SMT equipment is gaining traction

Over the past couple of years, technology has been progressing on a rapid scale, its demand has also augmented among various…

Liquid Crystal Displays or more commonly known as LCDs are one of the most common electronic components which help us interact with an equipment or a device. Most personal portable equipment and even gigantic industrial equipment utilize a custom segment display to display data. For many portable consumer electronics, a segment LCD display is one of the biggest contributors…

How many times have we complained about not finding the right hardware parts for repairing a product that was imported? How many times have we paid insane amount of duty just because something was not available in India locally? Take for example the newly released iPhone 12 Pro Max. According to the Times of India statistics, we pay around 45k INR more than any US-based…

In practical electronic circuits, signal processing is an important constraint and different types of methodologies are required to satisfy the customer demand of various design requirements. For any of the signal conditioning requirements, the Op-Amp is the first choice for any designer to comply with the design requirements and in most cases, the Operation amplifiers will…

“Internet of Things” is one of the most used technology buzzwords of the current times. After all, who’d have guessed that one day we'd have access to technology that will allow us to connect commonplace objects – such as lights, kitchen appliances, door lock systems, baby monitors, and electrical appliances – to a centralized and integrated network and operate them from…

In the era of Internet of Things(IoT), wireless communication is getting increasingly popular in everyday life. In the world of IoT devices, ESP32 is a popular low-cost System on Chip (SoC) microcontroller with built-in hybrid WiFi and Bluetooth chips by Espressif Systems. Because of its robust design and ultra-low power consumption, it has become so popular in IoT…

When you think about a PCB (Printed Circuit Boards) in general you can say it’s a piece of a board made out of fiberglass in which small and complex connections are etched with copper, but after designing hundreds of PCBs, I can tell you its a sophisticated piece of art where a perfectly designed circuit diagram is born, to become a part of the real world. A circuit or…

A lot has changed across the globe in the past one year. The entire planet is going through a peace crisis due to the pandemic that has shaken the world to its core. It was mid-month of March last year when a life-threatening deadly Covid-19 virus took a toll on people’s lives. The second wave was all the more deadlier!

When the COVID-19 pandemic…

It is fair to consider a PCB itself as a component in which multiple traces are connected. Each trace is different, some are high speed, some are low speed, some are noisy, some are used by the return path of circuit current, etc. Now, as we all know, there are lots of variations in ideal circuits and real circuits. Suppose a high-frequency trace is routed with a 7mm copper…

The pandemic has played a spoilsport, and the challenge has quickly shifted to extracting the ROI out of their investments in the current economic scenarios.

Over the past couple of years, 5G started rolling out across the globe, which started representing a landmark move in the history of ICT. The timeline has offered us rich and detailed insights…

When you are designing and producing a product, a PCB can easily become one of the most costly components of the whole product, thus lowering the PCB cost can be one of the major factors that can be proven beneficial for lowering the overall production cost. Majorly, the PCB cost can be reduced by cutting the PCB size as well as selecting the proper components, and…
