LTC4282 – High Current Hot Swap Controller with I2C Compatible Monitoring
https://www.electronics-lab.com/ltc4282-high-current-hot-swap-controller-with-i2c-compatible-monitoring/
The LTC4282 is an energy monitoring Hot Swap controller with dual MOSFET drive to enable 100A and higher current board designs. The LTC4282 ensures safe board insertion and removal from live 2.9V to 33V backplanes by controlling external Nchannel MOSFETs to gently power up capacitors, avoiding sparks, connector damage and system glitches. High current […]

Building the Colossus LED Display
https://www.electronics-lab.com/building-the-colossus-led-display/
by Adam Haile @ maniacallabs.com: The 2014 NC Maker Faire was a huge turning point for Maniacal Labs. It was there that the idea for the AllPixel and what is now BiblioPixel got their start. It’s also where we showed off our first custom-built LED display, the 24×24 LPD8806 matrix. At nearly 24 inches square, […]
