DFI, a global leader in the provision of various high-performance computing technology, has released the smallest AMD Ryzen Embedded R1000 Single Board Computer released so far called the DFI GHF51. We have seen a couple of AMD Ryzen Embedded boards with the likes of the Kontron...

The uP1966A from uPI Semiconductor is designed to drive both high-side and low-side GaN FETs in half-bridge topologies. It integrates an internal bootstrap supply and UVLO. The uP1966A has split gate outputs that can operate to several MHz on both high and low side drive channels,...

Apart from the risk of a (dangerous) electric shock and the near certainty of a very massive short circuit that is the consequence of drilling into a cable, the aftermath of this mishap is no fun either. In any case, the damaged cable has to be replaced – and that is already not nice...

Tech note from Richtek on buck converter profiling. Link here The synchronous buck circuit is wildly used to provide non-isolated power for low voltage and high current supply to system chip. To realize the power loss of synchronous buck converter and to improve efficiency is important...

The SAM9X60-EK Evaluation Kit is ideal for evaluating and prototyping with the high performance, ultra-low power SAM9X60 ARM926EJ-S based microprocessor (MPU) running up to 600 MHz. The SAM9X60 MPU features powerful peripherals for connectivity and user interface applications, and...

ArduPicLab published the details on how to build a current, voltage and power datalogger with Arduino and the INA226 module: In the past I have developed various projects of ammeters based on Hall effect current sensors such as the ACS712, or on High-Side Current-Sense Amplifiers such...
