by Graham Prophet @ edn-europe.com: LTC3265 is a high voltage, highly integrated, low noise dual output power supply IC which takes a single positive input supply (VIN_P) and generates low noise bipolar rails up to ±2•VIN_P without any inductors. High voltage boost and inverting...
Continue ReadingDelay using 8051 Timer
The major component of this circuit is Microchip's SST89E54RDA-40-C-PIE, which is a pin-for-pin compatible with typical 8051 microcontroller devices. It has a built-in timer used to produce accurate time delay. The light emitting diode (LED) is connected through the 330Ω resistor to...
