C&K’s FDSD and FDSE series are micro-mini, side-actuated detection switches suitable for applications which require vertical side detection. They are particularly useful for safety control applications, and for medical and consumer devices. An example of the use of these switches...

The LM5164 synchronous buck converter is designed to regulate over a wide input voltage range, minimizing the need for external surge suppression components. A minimum controllable on-time of 50 ns facilitates large step-down conversion ratios, enabling the direct step-down from a 48-V...

Coilcraft offers the Cx family of surface mount, common mode EMI chokes. There are 16 sizes and configurations to meet the design needs of a broad range of power line circuits, says the company. They suppress high frequency common mode noise up to 100MHz and offer greater than 40dB...

Maker Asia is an organization in South East Asia which owns Maker Lab; a place where makers put their creativity in use. They have recently released a new software product and Maker Asia, who have mostly focused on a hardware product line is eventually into a new space. The newly launched...

Build your own Nixie tube clock/thermometer/display with ease. by Grisha Anofriev @ www.hackster.io We set out to create a Nixie clock or just an information indicator on the largest ex-Soviet IN-18 tubes as an Arduino shield-compatible with both Uno and Mega boards. After a long...

We have built quite a number of weather stations in several past tutorials, with each one differing from the other by the use of a different sensor, different display, etc. Today, we are going to build another weather monitoring station using the BME280 Temp and humidity sensor from...

SEGGER introduces video class (UVC) support for emUSB-Device. An Embedded System with a USB device interface can now enumerate as a video camera. Once connected to a Host (Windows, Mac, Linux or Tablet), it is recognized as a camera. Video content can come from a live camera feed, a...

Designed for mass-market tracking and navigation applications, the Teseo-LIV3R ROM-based module, has full GNSS algorithm capability for cost-conscious tracking and navigation devices, says ST Microelectronics. The GNSS module provides odometer functionality with three trip counters and...
