If your application requires a changing supply voltage, then this new IC is ideal for you. Intersil announced the ISL91128, a new buck-boost regulator. The new regulator has an I2C interface to select a broad set of features including output voltage range and slew rate. This eliminates...

ESP8266EX and even the new ESP32 SoC lack a USB hardware transceiver, so [CNLohr] decided to develop a USB software stack for ESP8266. After a quick search, I think it is the first try to do a USB software stack for esp8266. USB software stack is a firmware-only implementation of a USB....

Aimed at systems requiring multiple low-voltage supplies, Linear Technology’s LTC3374A can be configured to supply two to eight independent regulated outputs with 15 possible output-current configurations. Each of the eight synchronous 1-A buck converters is powered from an...

LTC3623 is a ±5A high efficiency, current mode synchronous buck regulator that is adjustable from 14.5V down to 0V output with a single resistor. Its architecture uses a 50 µA current reference, combined with a single resistor, to set the output voltage. by Graham Prophet @...

Fabian Gebhart shared his Lorentz Force experiment on Thingiverse: Don’t you love it? Magnetism? Electronics? And 3d printing? In this project I combine all of them together to a little but spectacular do-it-yourself experiment. With just a few components and the 3d printed part...

If you have a single Li-Ion battery powered application, then you need to think about using AS1383 in your design. AS1383 is a DC-DC boost converter comes in a 6-pin WL-CSP package with 0.4mm pitch, a very small package suits the limited space applications. In the below image, you can...

beningo.com discuss about the future of C language and it's use in embedded systems. The C programming language has been with embedded software developers since its creation in 1972. Ever since then C has been a blazing constant, surviving even the big push in the late 90’s and...

Lukas Fassler from Soldernerd shares his experience designing a bi-directional voltage level translator and manufacturing the board with DirtyPCBs. While most of my microcontroller designs run on 3.3 volts there is still the occasional 5 volt design. Or I do something with an...
