Asus is looking forward to upgrading their open-spec, community-backed Tinker Board SBC with the new Tinker Board 2. It advances from a quad-core, Cortex-A17 Rockchip RK3288 to a Hexa-core -A72 and -A53 Rockchip RK3399. It comes with support for 4GB LPDDR4, GbE, WiFi/BT, optional 16GB...

When it comes to industrial PC motherboards, we all know ASRock has successfully launched some of the popular products. After the release of the ASRock iBOX 1100 rugged mini-PC, several months in, we saw the NUC 1100 Box Series mini-PCs powered by the 11th Generation Intel Core i7/i5/i3...

Power analysis is a technique to probe the inner workings of an integrated circuit by measuring changes in the supply current. Tim writes: Whenever a logic gate switches, it will cause a tiny current spike that can be measured externally. By inspecting the temporal variation,...

Diodes Incorporated has announced a family of automotive-compliant, two-wire unipolar (AH323xQ/4xQ) and latch (AH327xQ/8xQ) switch integrated circuits (ICs) that provide high sensitivity and high stability over wide operating voltage and temperature ranges. The ICs are for use in...

Littelfuse's TMR is a magnetically-triggered digital switch with high sensitivity and ultra-low power consumption Littelfuse's TMR switch is a digital magnetic switch that integrates tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) and CMOS technology to provide a magnetically-triggered digital...

Boards like the Arduino and Raspberry Pi have their origins, deep in education, either maker education as a way for people to express themselves (Arduino) or an affordable and portable way for people to learn about computers and programming (Raspberry Pi). The culture of creating...

We talk a lot about downsizing. It is, and always will be on the top priority list of the world of electronics. Without smaller sizes, we would never have gotten to this state, where our projects can be housed in a small PCB and ran on an ATTiny mcu. It is one of the most fascinating...
