Daniel Grießhaber @ hackaday.io has published his build of a USB power meter. His device is based on ATTiny 85 mcu and 0.96" OLED Display and is able to measure voltage, current and power output from USB port. Since USB has become more and more a power delivery standard, it...

Maurizio show us how to generate an analog voltage using a microcontroller and some resistors. The purpose of this article is how to generate analog voltage with digital circuit. Although the market provides today a very broad range of dedicated digital-to-analogue converters,...

Edward K. Miguel @ electronicdesign.com has published a circuit that has output high when the votlage in input is 220V and output low when the voltage is 110V. This is often useful on motor control and power supply systems. The circuit illustrated in the figure monitors the ac line...

An application note from Littelfuse about USB protection. This application note addresses the various requirements for protecting the Universal Serial Bus (USB) from overcurrent and overvoltage environmental threats. The solutions presented cover both USB 1.1 and the higher speed USB...

SteelCity Electronics published an article about Analog Devices AD587KN 10V reference: I recently got hold of an Analog Devices AD587KN high precision 10.000V reference chip. This model of chip has an output value of 10.000V ± 5mV (that is, an output value of 9.995V to 10.005V)...

by Graham Prophet @ edn-europe.com: LT6657 is a family of ultra-stable bandgap voltage references that exhibits less than 1.5ppm/°C of temperature drift. Reinforcing this performance, the device has only 0.5ppm p-p of low frequency noise, less than 30 ppm of long term drift and 35...

by Einar Abell @ edn.com: This Design Idea gives two versions of an indicator light that changes from green to red as a battery discharges. There are many circuits that do this sort of thing, but all the ones I have seen are too complex and costly for my taste. This DI shows a method...

Sasa Karanovic has designed and built a DIY USB power Supply active load tester, that is available at GitHub: USB Power supply Active Load Tester or short PAL Tester is unit designed for testing the quality of the power supplies. Idea was to create low-cost, precise device for...
