Jump Over The Limits of ARM With ExaGear Desktop
https://www.electronics-lab.com/jump-limits-arm-exagear-desktop/
While the most of Linux programs are compiled to run on Intel x86 processors, the virtualization softwares appear to give the ability to run Intel x86 application on ARM-based Mini PC such as Raspberry Pi. In this way, Eltechs, a high-tech startup company, had produced a new binary translator called “ExaGear Desktop”. It runs applications […]

Five years ago (on 29 February 2012, to be exact) the original Raspberry Pi was unveiled – on this celebrated first day the available stock was sold out within a few minutes, more than 100,000 boards were ordered and the Farnell and RS Components web stores where down for while because of the high demand… […]
PCB-Investigator Now Supports Browser-Based PCB Design Review
https://www.electronics-lab.com/pcb-investigator-now-supports-browser-based-pcb-design-review/
PCB-Investigator is a CAD software developed by EasyLogix for circuit board design and PCB quality assurance. Its latest version came earlier in February with a new browser interface that enables electronics assemblers to do PCB review processes without the need for local installation. By using the ODB++ data format, PCB-Investigator creates a common database, which […]
LTM9100 – Anyside™ High Voltage Isolated Switch Controller with I²C
https://www.electronics-lab.com/ltm9100-anyside-high-voltage-isolated-switch-controller-i%c2%b2c/
The LTM9100 μModule is an all-in-one solution for controlling, protecting, and monitoring high voltage power supplies up to 1000VDC. A 5kVRMS galvanic isolation barrier separates the digital interface from the switch controller, driving an external N-channel MOSFET or IGBT switch. Isolated digital measurements of load current, bus voltage, and temperature are accessed via the I2C/SMBus […]
