STMicroelectronics’ STM32H7 series are a couple of Arm® Cortex®-M7-based MCUs that claim to deliver 1327 DMIPS and 3224 CoreMark. They come in three product lines- dual-core lines, single-core lines, and value lines, and can be used in the design of many rich and complex applications including wireless modules, alarm panel systems, power management systems, etc.  […]

SONY STARVIS IMX415 Sensor | Ultra-HD 4K Resolution |High Frame Rate (90fps) at 4K |NVIDIA Jetson Xavier NX/Nano e-con Systems Inc., a leading embedded camera solutions company, brings its new SONY STARVIS based 4K Ultra-HD MIPI camera module to the market for smart city, sports vision, quality inspection and factory automation applications.  This camera module is suitable […]

The XDL601/02 are ultra-small, 1.5A, synchronous step-down Micro DC/DC Converters with integrated inductor and high-speed transient response. The superfast load transient performance is due to Torex’s innovative Hi-SAT COT control method, which, when compared to standard Constant On-Time (COT) control also provides less fluctuation in oscillation frequency against load and input voltage. The XDL601/02 total solution size is only […]

In this final part of the series, I look at the ATMEGA4808. This may just be the replacement for the ATMEGA328 that I have been looking for. Story The ATMEGA4808 provides a very attractive solution to replace the trusted ATMEGA328 or standard Arduino UNO /NANO. These chips are slightly more difficult to get hold of […]

XD9260/61 – 1.5A Hi-SAT COT Synchronous Step-Down DC/DC Converter, AEC-Q100 compliant The XD9260/XD9261 series is a small 1.5A synchronous step-down DC/DC converter with high-speed transient response and low quiescent current. The extremely fast load transient performance is a result of Torex’s innovative Hi-SAT COT (Constant On-Time) control method, which, when compared to standard Constant On-Time […]

A campaign for a current probe called Little Bee was launched on Crowdsupply. Little Bee is an affordable and high-performance current probe and magnetic field probe that enables you to debug and analyze electronic devices more effectively. This device comes in handy because current probes available today are expensive, therefore having a limited number of users. Current probes […]

Resettable eFuse maintains high safety through repeated use with adjustable over-voltage protection plus flagging capabilities. Expanding its range of advanced eFuse ICs, the TCKE712BNL from Toshiba Electronics Europe GmbH ensures that the highest degrees of safety are always maintained. It is targeted at a broad spectrum of different consumer electronics goods – including cameras, cordless cleaner and […]

Story This project is my implementation of an alien themed slot machine using two ATmega328P-PU micro-controllers. I was inspired by Cory Potter’s Alien Invasion Slot Machine, and I wanted to expand on that idea. The slot machine is for entertainment and educational purposes only. I tried my best to make the game simulate a real slot machine […]

Now it’s here. Epishine’s ”light cell” can change how we power small electronics – a thin and flexible organic solar cell that can be integrated into sensors, consumer electronics, and other low power devices to reduce or eliminate the need of batteries. We are very proud to have taken the results from more than 25 […]

Melexis, a global microelectronics engineering company, has introduced the MLX91216 XHF extra high-field current sensor, extending the ease and accuracy of its unique IMC-Hall® technology into high-current measurement for emerging automotive applications. Capable of measuring current to beyond 2000 A, the MLX91216 XHF is suited to redundant monitoring of battery-management systems (BMS), over-current detection in smart fuses, […]
