Read Article Efficiency Standards and Ratings for External Power Supplies A power supply’s efficiency is simply the ratio between the energy it consumes and the energy it supplies. No device can be perfectly efficient; there will always be losses in heat or electromagnetic fields. The leading causes come from active component losses (MOSFET and diode switching losses) and, to a lesser extent, from passive component losses (resistors, capacitors, and inductor impedance losses). It moves towards utilizing higher Read Article Serial Communications Protocols - Part Three: RS-232 In this series of articles, we’re looking at some of the different types of Serial Communication Protocols available for transferring data between devices. The articles will cover a few of the more popular protocols and standards in use today, and at the end of this series, we will recap and compare the advantages and disadvantages of each. We hope this information will prove valuable next time you need to implement a serial communication bus in Read Article Serial Communications Protocols - Part Two: UART In this article, we will be looking at the popular UART device. It’s not a communication protocol but rather the physical circuit used in microcontrollers or stand-alone ICs to transmit and receive serial data. It supports the series of articles we’ve produced to look at some of the different types of Serial Communication Protocols available. Serial communications are the perfect mechanism for transmitting information between devices such as Read Article Mass Production and Manufacturing Mindset In true engineering spirit, let’s start by establishing the scope of this article. The intention isn’t to tell you exactly what to do if you need to mass-produce the device you’ve designed or show you what changes to make. This intention is to explore the mindset you need to adopt and the critical thinking you’ll need to do if you need to either design a device from scratch for the mass market or turn your one-off prototype into a format that Read Article New Printed Circuit Engineering Course: PCE EDU In this episode our guest Rick Hartley and Mike Creeden talks about the New Printed Circuit Engineering Course.
