The XD6506 is a series of voltage regulators from Torex Semiconductor that is manufactured using CMOS processes. The positive voltage LDO regulators are qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 2. The regulators achieve low supply current, 0.8 microA (typical) and consist of a reference voltage...

The quadrature LS7084 Module is a CMOS quadrature clock converter. Quadrature clocks derived from optical or magnetic encoders, when applied to the A and B inputs of the LS7084 are converted to strings of a Clock and an Up/down direction control. These outputs can be interfaced...

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...

Nidec Copal, the world’s biggest manufacturer of camera shutters, has developed the smallest, thinnest and lightest camera module for mobile devices. It measures just 8.5 x 8.5 x 4.2 mm and weighs 0.57 g. The new camera module is about half the size of Nidec Copal’s previous...

Ken Shirriff reverse engineer the CMOS version of 555 timer IC and explains how it works. This article explains how the LMC555 timer chip works, from the tiny transistors and resistors on the silicon chip, to the functional units such as comparators and current mirrors that make it...

This unipolar stepper motor driver circuit is used to drive a 12V unipolar stepper motor with a current rating of 1.25A. It uses PCA9537 IC, which is a 10-pin CMOS device that provides 4 bits of General Purpose I/O (GPIO) expansion with interrupt and reset for I2C-bus/SMBus...

In this episode, Shahriar and Shayan discuss the design and characterization of a deceptively simple CMOS inverter-based transimpedance amplifier. The the large and small signal behavior of the CMOS inverter is discussed and measured using the Keithley 2450 and 2460 source meters. The...

Clemens Valens @ elektormagazine.com discuss about the new iCoupler family of isolators from Analog Devices: Digital isolators based on transformers and capacitors use magnetic and electric fields to couple data across isolation barriers where optocouplers use light. Digital...
