ROHM recently announced the AEC-Q100 qualified 2.8W output Class AB monaural speaker amplifiers the BD783xxEFJ-M series (BD78306EFJ-M, BD78310EFJ-M and BD78326EFJ-M) ideal for instrument clusters – used in vehicles equipped with autonomous driving and ADAS. In recent years, technological innovations in the automotive field – such as autonomous driving and ADAS – require a greater variety […]
Thevenin’s Theorem
https://www.electronics-lab.com/article/thevenins-theorem/
Introduction In this tutorial, we present a powerful method that can simplify through some transformation steps, complex circuits into elementary circuits and this method is commonly known as Thevenin’s theorem. Originally, it was the German physicist Hermann von Helmholtz who first demonstrated the theorem in 1853, but history kept the name of the French engineer […]
50V to 5V @7A Synchronous Buck (Step-down) Converter
https://www.electronics-lab.com/50v-5v-7a-synchronous-buck-step-converter/
This module is a non-isolated 7A DC-DC converter. The module can convert any DC voltage between 7V to 50V to a 5V DC with load current up to 7A. The project has been designed around LM5116 Wide Range Synchronous Buck Controller IC. The design includes 6uH toroid inductor and two N channel MOSFETS. The operating […]
CircuitBrains Deluxe is a Tiny, CircuitPython-compatible Module
https://www.electronics-lab.com/circuitbrains-deluxe-tiny-circuitpython-compatible-module/
CircuitPython is a branch of MicroPhython designed to simplify education and experimentation on low-cost microcontrollers to make it easy to prototype without any upfront desktop software downloads. With CircuitPython, you can write clean and simple Python code to control your hardware instead of using complex low-level languages like C or C ++. While we have […]
Aries Launches RISC-V based PolarFire SoC module
https://www.electronics-lab.com/aries-launches-risc-v-based-polarfire-soc-module/
Aries Embedded has launched a Linux-powered, FPGA-enabled RISC-V SoC from Microchip’s Micro semi unit, called the M100PFS. It is one of the first compute modules equipped with the PolarFire SoC. The M100PFS features an identical 74 x 42mm footprint as Aries’ similar M100PF module, which is equipped with the PolarFire FPGA without the Linux-ready RISC-V […]
App note: Designing RC snubbers

RLC snubber circuits, app note from Nexperia. This document describes the design of a simple “RC snubber circuit”. The snubber is used to suppress high-frequency oscillations associated with reverse recovery effects in power semiconductor applications App note: Designing RC snubbers – [PDF]
36V Operation, Coil-Integrated Step-down DC/DC Converters
https://www.electronics-lab.com/36v-operation-coil-integrated-step-dc-dc-converters/
Torex Semiconductor Ltd. has launched the XDL605/XDL606 series of AEC-Q100 compliant, ultra-small step-down “micro DC/DC” converters which have an integrated coil and control IC. A DC/DC converter power supply circuit can be constructed simply by adding a ceramic capacitor and a resistance for voltage setting to the external components, which can contribute to substantially reducing […]
