Q: What is a capacitance sensor? A: Capacitance sensors detect a change in capacitance when something or someone approaches or touches the sensor. The technique has been used in industrial ...

This application note presents the electrical aspect of the 1-Wire protocol for new and legacy devices. A special section explains how to determine appropriate timing parameters for a network ...

Serial peripheral interface (SPI) is one of the most widely used interfaces between microcontroller and peripheral ICs such as sensors, ADCs, DACs, shift registers, SRAM, and others. This article ...

One common method for determining the tilt or inclination of a system is to integrate the output of a gyroscope. Although this method is straightforward, error ...

For a human, experiencing a fall unobserved can be doubly dangerous. The obvious possibility of initial injury may be further aggravated by the possible consequences if treatment is not obtained ...

Today’s designs require an increasing number of power rails and supply solutions in electronics systems, with loads ranging from a few mA for standby supplies to over 100A for ASIC voltage regulators.

The phenomenon of current noise increasing with frequency is well known to IC design engineers and circuit designers, but it was elusive to many engineers as a result of either too few articles in the ...

This article introduces the basic topologies and suggests good practical usage for ensuring stable operation of low-dropout voltage regulators (LDOs). We will also discuss design characteristics of ...
