Reference Circuits Address Practical Circuit Design Challenges
Reference Circuits Address Practical Circuit Design Challenges

With the industrial and instrumentation market becoming more competitive, circuit designers continually face new challenges to design products faster, with fewer iterations, and incorporating a wider range of mixed-signal technologies including analog, digital, power, and RF. In addressing these challenges, reference circuits provide

EMI Noise Checklist

This document provides help for applications experiencing problems due to electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise.

Use Ingenuity to Ground and Shield Existing Electronic Equipment
Use Ingenuity to Ground and Shield Existing Electronic Equipment

When building electronic equipment, it is imperative to understand the coupling mechanisms of electrical noise that creates Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI). It is also much easier to preplan a method of abatement during the build of a machine rather than try to initiate a resolution once the equipment is built. However, in reality, it’s common to have to improve or otherwise develop procedures to prevent the noise from disrupting intended signals of existing equipment or designs.

EMI Shielding: Connector and Passive Component Technology Impacts
EMI Shielding: Connector and Passive Component Technology Impacts

It is hard to recall of the time where EMI shield coatings and seal gaskets were not available, but those times existed not so long ago. EMI shielding has evolved in many respects through the years and will likely have an increased and expanding role in future of high performance electronics.

Radicom Research Introduces Low-Cost Bluetooth Modules For Short Distances

Radicom Research announced the launch of its new RB4000 and RB4000HM Bluetooth modules for short-range wireless data connectivity.

Anatomy of a Digital Isolator
Anatomy of a Digital Isolator

For years, designers of industrial, medical and other isolated systems had limited options when implementing safety isolation: the only reasonable choice was the optocoupler. Today, digital isolators offer advantages in performance, size, cost, power efficiency and integration. Understanding the nature and interdependence of three key elements of a digital isolator is important in choosing the right digital isolator.

Multicore DSPs Power Next-generation Industrial Inspection Systems
Multicore DSPs Power Next-generation Industrial Inspection Systems

With the advent of new generations of digital signal processors (DSPs), specifically multicore DSPs, developers have high performance, low-cost and power efficient alternatives for implementing the real time image processing in inspection applications.

Contactless Capacitive Sensor Signal Conditioners most practical for harsh environments
Contactless Capacitive Sensor Signal Conditioners most practical for harsh environments

Capacitive-based sensors have been in use for many years, but they are seeing a rapid increase in interest for a variety of reasons. One of the primary reasons for this is the expanding number of harsh environment applications where capacitive sensing is the best choice...

Photo-Optical Devices Deliver Reliable, Cost-Effective Sensing and Control Solutions
Photo-Optical Devices Deliver Reliable, Cost-Effective Sensing and Control Solutions

Infrared (IR) PhotoOptic devices are used for sensing and control in a variety of general market applications. These devices – LEDs and phototransistors - operating in the near IR region (700-1400 nm)...

The D&D bracer is a fairly quick, fun, nerdy LilyPad project. The final product is a wearable bracer with a display that will randomly generate numbers between 1 and 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 20, or 100 in response to arm movement, so it can effectively replace all of the dice in your bag for a D&D session.

Sustainable?
Sustainable?

Feb 2

I'd like some genius to define sustainable. Could we count something that we can keep doing for 100 billion years - beyond the death of the Universe as we currently understand such things - as sustainable? How about a billion years?
