Measuring the speed of light with electronics
The speed of light in vacuum is a well-known universal constant and is considered to be the nature's ultimate speed limit. No matter, energy, and information can travel faster than this speed. The speed of light has always been a topic of great interest and significance throughout...

Inductive Proximity Switch Using TCA505
This circuit is used to design an inductive proximity switch. The resonant circuit of the LC oscillator is implemented with an open half-pot ferrite and capacitance in parallel (pin LC) and if a metallic target is moved close to the open side of half pot ferrite, energy is drawn from...
