After playing second (maybe third?) fiddle for a while to a range of maker-friendly boards from Arduino and others, STMicro finally got it right with the STM32F103C8T6 Arm Cortex-M3 microcontroller-based "BluePill" development board which can be programmed using the Arduino IDE. As all...

ON Semiconductors design reference of their FAN6390 USB Type-C charger. FAN6390MPX has line−up according to output nominal currents. The first step of system design needs to select a device. FAN6390MPX incorporates many valuable functions and some functions are only compatible...

STMicroelectronics TCPP01-M12 USB Type-C Port Protection is a single-chip solution that facilitates the migration from USB legacy connectors type-A or type-B to USB Type-C connectors. This Type-C port protection features overvoltage protection on VBUS, adjustable up to 22 V, with...

SparkFun's new DEV-15444 RedBoard Artemis has an Arduino Uno R3 footprint, 1M Flash/384 KB RAM, and a processor that uses less than 1mA of current at peak. This Artemis board includes a modern USB-C connector and a Qwiic connector that makes programming and I2C easy. This RedBoard is...

The Power DUO Sink 200W USB-C PD Reference Design is a complete USB PD Sink reference design that allows users to select their USB PD sink voltage. This USB Powe rDelivery (PD) reference design will allow users to implement a system that requires more than 100W to operate at, while...

Even with the advent of several file-sharing platforms and the proliferation of internet access to enable their use, the "old" regular way of moving a file from one place to the other via USB drives is still in vogue. Especially for large files like the video and picture contents which...

STM32 was one of the names that were almost driven into oblivion, no thanks to the Arduino Revolution, but the name was brought back into the limelight when the STM32 Blue Pill was released. With its compatibility with the Arduino IDE via the STM32duino support package and its...

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...
