LT8630 – 100V, 600 mA synchronous buck DC/DC betters 93% efficiency


https://www.electronics-lab.com/lt8630-100v-600-ma-synchronous-buck-dcdc-betters-93-efficiency/

LT8630 is a 600 mA, 100V input capable synchronous step-down switching regulator using synchronous rectification to deliver efficiency as high as 93% while Burst Mode operation keeps quiescent current under 7 µA in no-load standby conditions. by By Graham Prophet @ edn-europe.com: The device’s 3V to 100V input voltage range suits it for 48V automotive […]

Circuit implements photovoltaic-module simulator


https://www.electronics-lab.com/circuit-implements-photovoltaic-module-simulator/

José M Blanes and Ausiàs Garrigós writes: Electronics engineers often use photovoltaic-module simulators to test dc/dc-power converters, inverters, or MPPT (maximum-power-point-tracking)-control techniques. The use of these simulators lets you work in the laboratory with predefined photovoltaic conditions, thus avoiding the drawbacks of real photovoltaic modules. Various commercial simulators are available, but they are often expensive. […]

2.5A Bipolar Stepper Motor Driver using A3979


https://www.electronics-lab.com/2-5a-bipolar-stepper-motor-driver-using-a3979/

The tiny board designed using A3979 IC from ALLEGRO which is complete micro stepping driver with built in translator. The translator is the key to the easy implementation of the A3979. It allows the simple input of one pulse on the STEP pin to drive the motor one micro step, which can be either a […]

A new tutorial by The DIY Life is for building a home energy meter that provides information about power consumption and cost estimates for the month. Using Arduino and some other components you can build your own energy meter that measure the supply current to your home through a CT (current transformer), current, power, maximum […]

Arduino Installing and Using Libraries


https://www.electronics-lab.com/arduino-installing-using-libraries/

runtimeprojects.com has a tutorial on how to install and use Arduino libraries. Libraries are an essential part in the Arduino world. They are what makes Arduino so easy to use. Libraries are written to encapsulate complex functions and expose them as simple function calls to the user. For example to switch a pixel on and […]

ESP8266 sending data to Google spreadsheets


https://www.electronics-lab.com/esp8266-sending-data-google-spreadsheets/

Although there are so many cloud IoT platforms (ThingSpeak, thinger.io, TESPA.io, Xively, … ) available in the market, each offering APIs and tools to allow the Arduino and ESP8266 users to directly upload their sensor readings online for real-time visualization and global access, Google Drive is still my favorite choice for posting sensor data online as […]
