by Graham Prophet @ edn-europe.com: Belgian researchers from imec, at a conference** dedicated to compound semiconductor technology, are to present promising device results with a InGaAs-only TFET (tunnel field-effect transistor) that achieves a sub-60 mV/decade sub-threshold swing at...

by Mahesh Venkitachalam @ hackaday.io: I use 9 V batteries for a prototyping a lot of my electronics projects. I was inspired by the Sparkfun breadboard power supply board, and wanted to create something similar, but with a more convenient form factor for use with a 9V battery. The...

The LTM9100 μModule is an all-in-one solution for controlling, protecting, and monitoring high voltage power supplies up to 1000VDC. A 5kVRMS galvanic isolation barrier separates the digital interface from the switch controller, driving an external N-channel MOSFET or IGBT switch....

by bekathwia @ instructables.com: I was inspired by the Play Button awards YouTube sends out for subscriber milestones and whipped up a simple circuit using an ESP8266 wifi board and seven segment display to show off my realtime subscriber count. This is a great IoT beginner...

Mill-Max has released its lowest profile target connectors to date with an above board height of only 2.21mm. Target connectors are used in place of SMT pads on a PCB as the mating surface for spring-loaded pins. Low profile target connectors, 2.21mm above the board -...

by Julien Happich @ edn-europe.com: Part of the Swatch group, EM Microelectronic announced what the company believes to be the world's smallest Bluetooth chip. Offered in a 4x4mm QFN-28 package, in a WLCSP-21 or as a bare-die, the EM9304 is optimized for Bluetooth v4.2 low energy...

by Eric Bogers @ elektormagazine.com: Researchers from the Stanford University School of Medicine, using a combination of microfluidics, electronics and a standard inkjet printer, have succeeded in producing a biochip that can be used for research or diagnostic purposes. The...

Bob tipped us about a simple oscillator that uses negative resistance: Normally -according to the Ohm's law- when the applied voltage is increasing, the current is increasing too, however some components can break this law. When the voltage increases, current decreases. This is...
