If you start a project on your favorite SBC in the market, Raspberry Pi, then you want fewer cables to run around the hardware. When you power the Raspberry Pi, you also require a separate ethernet connection that makes it two cables running across the hardware, making it look...

ON Semiconductor NCP1117 LDO Regulators provide an output current in excess of 1.0A with a maximum dropout voltage of 1.2V at 800mA over temperature. The series contains nine fixed output voltages of 1.5V, 1.8V, 1.9V, 2.0V, 2.5V, 2.85V, 3.3V, 5.0V, and 12V. The output voltages have no...

Industrial LCD manufacturer KOE (Kaohsiung Opto-Electronics) has announced the introduction of a new high-performance 6.2-inch TFT display module. The TX16D206VM0BAA TFT display features HVGA resolution (640 x 240 pixels), a wide 8:3 aspect ratio, and IPS (in-plane switching)...

In 2019, we saw one of the largest single computer chips manufactured by a California-based AI startup, Cerebras, that unveiled the Wafer-Scale Engine for deep learning applications. The 1.2 trillion transistors-packed Wafer-Scale Engine came with 18GB of on-chip SRAM and an...

Nixie tube is an electronic device for displaying numerals or other information using glow discharge. When a voltage is applied between two electrodes in a glass tube containing low-pressure gas, the flow of electric current through the gas makes plasma. This phenomenon is called glow...
