Opto-Isolated 4-Channel Triac Board (R) is used for fast switching applications. Ideal for switching mains circuits, lights, appliances and small load. Each circuit is effectively isolated with opto-isolators on each channel, TTL inputs control each channel. Trigger input 2-12...

by Lyle Russell Williams: You can use three discrete transistors to build an operational amplifier with an open-loop gain greater than 1 million (Figure 1). You bias the output at approximately one-half the supply voltage using the combined voltage drops across zener diode D1, the...

In telecommunications, ideal RF switches require low insertion loss, high isolation and linearity. The IDT F2912 is a single-pole-double throw RF switch capable of having low insertion of loss of 0.4dB at 1GHz and a RF1 to RF2 Isolation of 74dB at 1GHz with extended temperature of...

An update on LuckyResistor’s data logger project: Just to let you know the deluxe version of the data logger is almost done. The hardware is ready and tested – currently I finish the menu based software for the data logger. Menu based control with 5 capacitive inputs Record,...

by Graham Prophet: LT8330 is a current mode, 2 MHz step-up DC/DC converter with an internal 1A, 60V switch. It operates from an input voltage range of 3V to 40V, making it suitable for applications with input sources ranging from a single-cell Li-Ion to automotive inputs. The...

Freeze 75 spray will enable you to find faulty component or also to protect components from overheating during soldering. A device operates OK until it reaches stable operating temperature … a typical situation in praxis usually caused by a faulty component or faulty (cold)...

by Maciej Kokot @ edn.com: In most cases, you measure current by converting it into a proportional voltage and then measuring the voltage. Figure 1 shows two typical methods of making the conversion. In one method, you insert a probing resistor, RP, in series with the current path...

This reference design is a frequency generator for use in synchronizing a circuit’s operation. It consumes less than 50mW of power that specifically uses the IDT’s 9FGV0241 PCI-Express Clock Generator which is the lowest-power PCI Express timing family. It is a two output clock...
