Sozu Monitoring System Harvests Activity Energy & Runs Without Batteries
https://www.electronics-lab.com/sozu-monitoring-system-harvests-activity-energy-runs-without-batteries/
A team of Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University’s Future Interfaces Group have developed self-powered radio tags called Sozu, which enables building-scale activity sensing, without the need for line-of-sight and at a very low cost. They claim a 99 percent detection rate and “almost no false positives.” The team of researchers includes Yang Zhang, Yasha Iravantchi, Haojian […]
Powerful new SBC to Ease Development Challenges and Accelerate Innovations
https://www.electronics-lab.com/powerful-new-sbc-ease-development-challenges-accelerate-innovations/
Oftentimes, developing an end application is like a scary game of maze. One can easily get lost in its winding paths lined with unseen twists and obstacles. A wrong choice can lead you to start all over again , making the journey grim, and the goal out of reach. For developers, the challenges are real […]

https://www.electronics-lab.com/maxim-integrated-max2270x-ultra-high-cmti-isolated-gate-drivers/
Maxim MAX2270x Ultra-High CMTI Isolated Gate Drivers are single-channel isolated gate drivers with ultra-high common-mode transient immunity (CMTI) of 300kV/μs (typ). The devices are designed to drive silicon-carbide (SiC) or gallium-nitride (GaN) transistors in various inverter or motor control applications. All devices have integrated digital galvanic isolation using Maxim’s proprietary process technology. The devices feature […]
Free Elektor Article: DDS Function Generator
https://www.electronics-lab.com/free-elektor-article-dds-function-generator/
DDS chips are readily available, greatly simplifying the design of the analog part of a wide-range function- or signal generator. All you need to do (they say!) is choose one, add some suitable output circuitry, pick a microcontroller, provide a user interface and start programming. To which we reply: sweet dreams, here is the real […]

OnLogic (Formerly Logic supply) recently announced the launch of 4 new industrial SBCs based on Intel’s Apollo Lake Pico-ITX processors. The four boards; EPM163, EPM162, EPM161, and EPM160, combine small size (the Pico-ITX 3.9 x 2.8in form factor) with solid performance, with target use cases being diverse industrial applications. The first board, EPM163, hosts the […]
Battery (Lithium, NiMH, NiCd) Capacity Tester Using Arduino
https://www.electronics-lab.com/battery-lithium-nimh-nicd-capacity-tester-using-arduino/
The increased interest in IoT and electric automobiles around the world is driving an increase in the use of Lithium-Ion/Lithium-Polymer/NiCd/NiMH batteries as more devices and applications are using them, due to their high energy storage capacity to size ratio. This increased interest is, however, causing an increase in the number of batteries with “fake” ampere-hours […]

Sinusoidal Waveforms
https://www.electronics-lab.com/article/sinusoidal-waveforms/
Introduction Within a period of 10 years at the end of the 19th century, many technological achievements allowed to extend the use of alternating current and overcome the limitations of direct current for the distribution of electricity to the public. In 1882, the transformer is invented in France which eases the distribution of the alternating […]
