PicoDetector : a simple metal detector
https://www.electronics-lab.com/picodetector-simple-metal-detector/
Bruno Gavand build a simple metal detector using PIC12F683. He writes: The idea of this circuit is to hack PIC oscillator circuit, by replacing the crystal by a coil : the frequency of the oscillator then depends on presence of metal near the coil, just like in a classic metal detector. PicoDetector : a simple metal […]

Redefining a new state-of-the-art in microampere current-sense amplifiers
https://www.electronics-lab.com/redefining-new-state-art-microampere-current-sense-amplifiers/
Silicon Lab’s TS1100 and TS1101 current sense amplifier’s features discussed in this app note. Sensing and controlling supply current flow are a fundamental requirement in most all electronic systems from battery-operated, portable equipment to mobile or fixed-platform power management and dc motor control. High-side current-sense amplifiers (or “CSAs”) are useful in these applications especially where […]
+9V TO 60V PWM 2.3A SOLENOID VALVE DRIVER USING DRV101
https://www.electronics-lab.com/9v-60v-pwm-2-3a-solenoid-valve-driver-using-drv101/
The DRV101 is a low-side power switch employing a pulse-width modulated (PWM) output. Its rugged design is optimized for driving electromechanical devices such as valves, solenoids, relays, actuators, and positioners. The DRV101 module is also ideal for driving thermal devices such as heaters and lamps. PWM operation conserves power and reduces heat rise, resulting in […]
