Elektor Article: LED Booster for Microcontrollers


https://www.electronics-lab.com/elektor-article-led-booster-microcontrollers/

There’s many a time when you want to connect a white LED to a microcontroller operating from a 3 V supply voltage. Unfortunately, this doesn’t work and your nice white LED only lights up feebly or not at all. Why does it work perfectly with red and green LEDs, but not with white? A bit […]

Ohm’s Law


https://www.electronics-lab.com/article/ohms-law/

Introduction The fundamental relation between the current, voltage, and resistance is known as Ohm’s law and is probably the most famous and elementary physical law of electronics. It is in 1827 when the German physicist Georg Simon Ohm publishes for the first time in the book “Die galvanische Kette, mathematisch bearbeitet” (in English: The mathematical […]

Broadcom AFBR-S4N33C013 is a silicon photo multiplier


https://www.electronics-lab.com/broadcom-afbr-s4n33c013-silicon-photo-multiplier/

The Broadcom® AFBR-S4N33C013 is a single silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) used for ultra-sensitive precision measurement of single photons. The active area is 3.0 × 3.0 mm2. The high packing density of the single chips is achieved using through-silicon-via (TSV) technology and a chip-sized package (CSP). Larger areas can be covered by tiling multiple AFBR-S4N33C013 CSPs almost […]

How to use PICKit+ with MPLAB-X IDE


https://www.electronics-lab.com/use-pickit-mplab-x-ide/

PICKit+ recently announced that it is now possible to Program Microchip PICs from MPLAB-X using PICkit2 programmer and it’s even possible for those PICs that MPLAB-X programmer operations do not support. The challenge There are many PIC microcontrollers that currently not supported by MPLAB-X or MPLAB-IPE. This typically includes: 16(L)F15xxx 16(L)F18xxx 16(L)F19xxx 18(L)FxxK40 18(L)FxxK42 18(L)FxxK83 […]
