https://www.electronics-lab.com/using-nxps-nxq1txh5-qi-charging-circuit/
Adding wireless charging to furniture and other consumer goods is a nice way to add some oomph to an otherwise boring product. NXP’s NXQ1TXH5 provides an interesting, albeit difficult-to-prototype way around the problem. Creating a Qi-compatible is as easy as assembling the example circuit shown in figure one. From a technical point of view, the […]
NXP’s MMA8451QR1 Accelerometer
https://www.electronics-lab.com/nxps-mma8451qr1-accelerometer/
Process computer designs usually start out with an accelerometer. As reliability problems creep in, making the switch to a more “professional” solution is beneficial. Accelerometers are based on the MEMS principle: instead of being a purely solid-state affair, the inside of the chip contains a micromechanical motion sensor along with a small mass. In addition […]
