john guy @ edn.com writes: Intrinsically capacitive transducers and other high-impedance signal sources usually require ac coupling and a buffer amplifier to condition the signal for further processing. Buffers take many forms, but most of them compromise signal quality through the...

Bob tipped us about a simple oscillator that uses negative resistance: Normally -according to the Ohm's law- when the applied voltage is increasing, the current is increasing too, however some components can break this law. When the voltage increases, current decreases. This is...

govindanunni@ instructables.com has build a latching relay module using 555 timer IC that is also able to interfaced to a microcontroller. In this instructable I will show you how to use a non-latching relay as a latching bistable relay by designing a simple electronic module which...

The primary application of the project is to replace the mechanical potentiometer with optical encoder which is long life, accurate, smooth in operation. The simple project has been designed around LS7184 quadrature clock converter IC from LSI semiconductor, AD5220-10 Digital...

landingfield.wordpress.com shows us their progress on how to make a cooled CMOS camera able to be used for astrophotography. In the last post, I uncovered a bug in the Vivado implementation which accidently removes the DIFF_TERM from my input buffer. With that problem solved, I...

If you have ever tried to connect a 3.3V device to a 5V system, you know what a challenge it can be. The LC-04 bi-directional logic level converter is a small device that safely steps down 5V signal to 3.3V and steps up 3.3V to 5V at the same time. In this instructable, mybotic explained...

Today educ8s.tv is going to connect an OLED display to the CHIP 9$ computer in order to monitor its CPU temperature in real time. I received the CHIP single board computer about a year ago. It is an impressive board, it costs $9 and it offers a 1GHz CPU, 256MB of RAM wifi Bluetooth...

The DueProLogic is a complete FPGA Development System designed to easily get the user started learning and creating projects. The DueProLogic makes programmable logic easy with an all inclusive development platform. It includes an Altera Cyclone IV FPGA, on board programming, four...
