Basics of the SPI Communication Protocol
circuitbasics.com talks about the SPI serial communications protocol: One unique benefit of SPI is the fact that data can be transferred without interruption. Any number of bits can be sent or received in a continuous stream. With I2C and UART, data is sent in packets, limited to...

LTM8003 – 40VIN, 3.5A Step-Down μModule Regulator
LTM8003 is a step-down DC/DC µModule (micro-module) regulator with a 40V input voltage rating (42V abs. Max.) and 3.5A of continuous (6A peak) output current. The LTM8003’s pinout is FMEA (failure mode effects analysis) compliant, so the output voltage stays at or below the...

Exploring the Transcend Wifi-SD card
James O'Neill explores a Transcend SD that he believes it's the smaller Linux server. It's actually a 16GB memory card, an ARM processor and a WIFI chip all in an SD card package. The way these cards works is different from the better known Eye-FI card. They are SERVERS : they...
