White Paper: Cut the Cord with Power over Ethernet (PoE)
https://www.electronics-lab.com/white-paper-cut-cord-power-ethernet-poe/
Providing AC power to each device individually is an extra cost especially for organizations when installing IP cameras, VoIP phones or network access switches and routers in the facilities. To help in this way some modern protocols, like USB and Ethernet, provide the power over the same data cable. However, USB is not designed for […]

Are Today’s MCUs Overdesigned? A Research Team Has The Answer
https://www.electronics-lab.com/todays-mcus-overdesigned-research-team-answer/
MCUs are called microcontrollers because they embed a CPU, memory and I/O units in one package. Apparently, today’s MCUs are full of peripherals and in most cases they are not used in the application, and from an engineering point of view this is a waste of money and energy, but on the other hand, for […]
