With continuous improvement TRACO unveils the SMD version of enormously successful 1A DC/DC converter, the TSR1SM. The TSR1SM series models of step-down switching regulators (non isolating – POL) have a high efficiency up to 96 % which allows full load operation up to +65°C ambient temperature without the need of any heat transmission layer. Excellent […]
8T49NS010 Clock Synthesizer and Fanout Buffer/Divider
https://www.electronics-lab.com/8t49ns010-clock-synthesizer-and-fanout-bufferdivider/
This reference design features the 8T49NS010 integrated circuit that functions as a clock synthesizer with a built-in fanout buffer and divider. By using an external clock source or a crystal, the 8T49NS010 can generate high performance timing geared towards the communications and datacom markets, especially for applications demanding extremely low phase noise jitter, such as […]
Smart Garden
https://www.electronics-lab.com/smart-garden/
by FABLAB Dhahran @ instructables.com: In this project we will design and program a smart garden watering system. This system will use Arduino UNO and a moisture sensor to measure the volumetric water content in soil. It will also have a light (photocell) sensor to detect when the plant should get sunlight. So, when the soil […]

Steve Rodgers writes: Here’s my latest project. Its an AC energy metering board using an Atmel 90E24 energy metering chip. The board can either take an ESP8266-12 and run a native C application, or the ESP8266-12 can be omitted, and an external microcontroller can be used to talk to the Atmel 90E24 energy metering chip. […]
Surface-mount device prototyping in education
https://www.electronics-lab.com/surface-mount-device-prototyping-in-education/
In this article Vassilis K. Papanikolaou explains how SMD prototyping practice can be used in learning environments using simple and wide available tools and equipment: A feasibility study is herein attempted, towards the adaptation of modern surface-mount device (SMD) prototyping practice to learning environments. This necessity emerges not only from the profound advantages of the […]

NE555 timer sparks low-cost voltage-to-frequency converter
https://www.electronics-lab.com/ne555-timer-sparks-low-cost-voltage-to-frequency-converter/
by Gyula Dioszegi @ edn.com: In 1971, Signetics—later Philips—introduced the NE555 timer, and manufacturers are still producing more than 1 billion of them a year. By adding a few components to the NE555, you can build a simple voltage-to-frequency converter for less than 50 cents. The circuit contains a Miller integrator based on a TL071 along […]
JFET Moving Coil (MC) Pre-Preamp Kit
https://www.electronics-lab.com/jfet-moving-coil-mc-pre-preamp-kit/
by Mark Houston @ diyaudioprojects.com: I received the Boozhound Labs JFET Moving Coil (MC) Pre-Preamp Kit a while back and I promptly assembled the small circuit board. I’m a sucker for a simple kit and a hot iron. That is where it all stopped. The circuit board remained complete and laying about for a few years. Recently […]
