Free Elektor Circuit – An NE555 Watchdog Timer


https://www.electronics-lab.com/free-elektor-circuit-ne555-watchdog-timer/

from an Idea by Wolfgang Borst (Germany) Virtually every modern microcontroller has a built-in watchdog. It prevents the microcontroller ‘hanging’ which may be the result of a programming error or an unforeseen operating condition, where, for example, the program becomes trapped in an infinite loop and no longer reacts to external or internal input. In […]

Silicon carbide (SiC) is en route to mainstream for applications like photovoltaic and uninterruptable power supplies. Infineon Technologies AG is now targeting the next group of applications for this wide bandgap technology: The evaluation board EVAL-M5-E1B1245N-SiC will help to pave the way for SiC in motor drives and help strengthening Infineon’s market position as #1 […]

USB-PD Stand-alone Adapter Board from Oxplot


https://www.electronics-lab.com/usb-pd-stand-alone-adapter-board-oxplot/

Modern devices are quickly switching to USB-C power adapters, gradually fading out USB-A, and USB-B adapters. USB’s Power Delivery (USB-PD) protocol enables the supplies to be  flexible enough to handle charging (or powering) devices ranging from mobile phones to laptops. There are many high quality 90-100 Watt USB-C power adapters available. But unfortunately, there are many […]

Phase Splitter


https://www.electronics-lab.com/article/phase-splitter/

Introduction Often, not only the amplitude of the signal is interesting to transform, such as amplifiers do, but also its phase. Bipolar transistors can indeed be used in the design of a device called a phase splitter. In the very first section, general notions about the phase and the properties of a phase splitter are […]
