Electronic assemblies without PCBs but with Laser direct structuring


https://www.electronics-lab.com/electronic-assemblies-without-pcbs-but-with-laser-direct-structuring/

Laser direct structuring (LDS) is a special success story. For almost 20 years, it has been possible to apply electronic conductor paths directly onto plastic parts during series production. Laser Direct Structuring (LDS) – The structure of the conductor path is applied using the LDS process. LDS enables electronic assemblies to be made in flexible […]

TRMS current clamps VC-337, thanks to their size and shape, are ideal for measuring in dense installations of distribution boxes and cars. Find them in SOS electronic assortment. If you have ever measured in a distribution box, for example, the leads to individual circuit breakers, you have probably encountered a similar situation – conventional clamp […]

A full-duplex tiny AVR software UART


https://www.electronics-lab.com/a-full-duplex-tiny-avr-software-uart/

UARTs for AVR MCUs by Nerd Ralph, he writes: I’ve written a few software UARTs for AVR MCUs. All of them have bit-banged the output, using cycle-counted assembler busy loops to time the output of each bit. The code requires interrupts to be disabled to ensure accurate timing between bits. This makes it impossible to […]

Non-inverting OPAMP


https://www.electronics-lab.com/article/non-inverting-opamp/

Introduction The voltage signal applied to an op-amp can either be supplied to its non-inverting input (+) or the inverting input (-). These different configurations are simply known as a non-inverting op-amp, and inverting op-amp. In this tutorial, we focus on the non-inverting configuration and present its details. An overview of the non-inverting op-amp will […]
