A team of Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University's Future Interfaces Group have developed self-powered radio tags called Sozu, which enables building-scale activity sensing, without the need for line-of-sight and at a very low cost. They claim a 99 percent detection rate and "almost...

Oftentimes, developing an end application is like a scary game of maze. One can easily get lost in its winding paths lined with unseen twists and obstacles. A wrong choice can lead you to start all over again , making the journey grim, and the goal out of reach. For developers, the...

Maxim MAX2270x Ultra-High CMTI Isolated Gate Drivers are single-channel isolated gate drivers with ultra-high common-mode transient immunity (CMTI) of 300kV/μs (typ). The devices are designed to drive silicon-carbide (SiC) or gallium-nitride (GaN) transistors in various inverter or...

DDS chips are readily available, greatly simplifying the design of the analog part of a wide-range function- or signal generator. All you need to do (they say!) is choose one, add some suitable output circuitry, pick a microcontroller, provide a user interface and start programming. To...
