Step‐up DC/DC converters with built‐in inductors and control ICs


https://www.electronics-lab.com/step%e2%80%90up-dcdc-converters-built%e2%80%90in-inductors-control-ics/

Measuring 2.5×2.0×1.0mm, the newly‐developed XCL102/XCL103 series of step‐up micro DC/DC converters is designed with built‐in inductors and control ICs. By Julien Happich @ edn-europe.com: The use of built‐in inductors also allows PCB layouts to be simplified, minimizing unwanted radiation noise and operational trouble. The input voltage can be selected from 0.65V (operation hold voltage) to […]

Snapmaker, The Modular & Multi-Functional 3D Printer


https://www.electronics-lab.com/snapmaker-modular-multi-functional-3d-printer/

Snapmaker is a Kickstarter project with a lofty goal: to be the holy trinity for at-home makers by using detachable modules to convert between a 3D printer, a CNC carver, and a laser engraver. In retrospect, the idea seems almost obvious. All three devices need three-axis motors to work: so why not combine them into […]

ICP12 USBSTICK, A New Tool for Signals Control & Monitoring


https://www.electronics-lab.com/icp12-usbstick-new-tool-signals-control-monitoring/

iCircuit Technologies had produced the iCP12 usbStick, a mini size 28 pin USB PIC IO development board and a good tool for signal monitoring (as oscilloscope), data acquisition and circuit troubleshooting at 1mSec/Samples period. The iCP12 usbStick is a PIC18F2550 based USB development board that comes preloaded with Microchip’s USB HID bootloader which allows users […]

ReRAM, Process Data Where They Are Stored


https://www.electronics-lab.com/reram-process-data-stored/

Because data storage and processor are separated from each other, moving data between the storage and the computation unit became a main factor in computing. Many techniques were developed to speed up this process, such as pipelining, caching, and look-ahead execution, but “ReRAM” appears as a new technique to solve the root of the problem […]

5V to 12V @400mA Boost Converter


https://www.electronics-lab.com/5v-12v-400ma-boost-converter/

The circuit presented here is about a boost converter based on LM2698. It is a PWM boost converter from Texas instruments. LM2698 can also be used as a flyback converter. The current mode architecture is a special feature of LM2698, which provides superior line and load regulation. This circuit is capable of a supplying a […]
