The usual approach to radiation detection is the use of a Geiger-Müller tube and its high voltage circuit requirements, but during a quick surf through the internet today, I came across this portable and “accurate looking” solution developed by Stefan Wagner, on EasyEDA. Rather than the Geiger Muller tube and its complex circuitry, the project uses a miniature Silicon PIN […]

When most Chromeboxes nowadays are targetted towards consumer market and educational fields, AOPEN designed the smallest enterprise-ready Chromebox for digital signage, corporate, and kiosks. This device is designed to run 24/7 in tough conditions and can handle shocks and vibrations without any problem. The Rockchip RK3288 powered Chromebox Mini may perform sluggishly if used as a mini PC, but this should

In this tutorial, we are going to talk about fuses. Back when I was in college and learning about all the cool things in electronics, I heard the term fuse in AVR for the first time, my initial thought on the topic was, oh! there is something inside the AVR that will blow if I did

The Broadcom® AFBR-S4N33C013 is a single silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) used for ultra-sensitive precision measurement of single photons. The active area is 3.0 × 3.0 mm2. The high packing density of the single chips is achieved using through-silicon-via (TSV) technology and a chip-sized package (CSP). Larger areas can be covered by tiling multiple AFBR-S4N33C013 CSPs almost without

Most vacuum tubes need about 6.3V high supply plus filament voltage to operate. Running at 3.3V inclusively of the filament voltage, the new vacuum tube amplifier from Albert van Dalen has proven it possible to have one with the capacity to operate on an entirely low power supply voltage and still work well. To be able to

Tektronix, Inc. today announced the new 2601B-PULSE System SourceMeter® 10μs Pulser/SMU Instrument, integrating a high-speed current pulser with DC source and measurement functions in one instrument. The new system incorporates PulseMeter™ technology for sourcing current pulses as short as 10μsec at 10A and 10V without the need to manually tune the output to match device impedance up to 3μH. This
CircuitPython is a branch of MicroPhython designed to simplify education and experimentation on low-cost microcontrollers to make it easy to prototype without any upfront desktop software downloads. With CircuitPython, you can write clean and simple Python code to control your hardware instead of using complex low-level languages like C or C ++. While we have seen several boards

This latest diagnostic PicoScope design retains all the strengths of the existing 4425/4225 automotive scopes but adds smart interfaces for powered and intelligent accessories for increased efficiency. Saelig Company, Inc. has introduced the new PicoScope 4425A and 4225A diagnostic oscilloscopes, available in 4-channel and 2-channel configurations. This latest diagnostic PicoScope design combines all the strengths

This module is an isolated full-duplex differential line driver and receiver for TIA/EIA RS485/RS422 applications. The module is ideal for long transmission lines because the ground loop is broken to allow for a much larger common-mode voltage range. The symmetrical barrier of the device is tested to provide isolation of 2500Vrms between bus line Trans-receiver and the logic-level interface.

The CT04120 from Murata is a small form factor lithium-ion battery that can support 10C Charging rates without the need for a battery controller IC. Continuous discharge at a 10C rate is also supported by these rechargeable batteries. In addition, since the internal resistance is low and the voltage drop is small, stable discharge is possible even under a
