While microcontroller- and DSP-based approaches for implementing advanced motor control techniques, such as field-oriented control (FOC) for 3-phase motors, have gone a long way to simplify ...

The diode is a fundamental component you must understand if you want to grow your electronics prowess. So today, we’re going to take a quick look at what a diode is, then look at 4½ uses for a diode ...

For a long time, power meters were built using a combination of a base unit and an external power sensor connected via a cable. The RF signal was converted to a voltage signal in the power sensor, ...

The basis of a solid-state diode laser is, of course, the diode. Laser diodes can have different emission wavelength—most of them have between 405 nm to 808 nm. The diodes usually have TO3, TO5, TO9, ...

When they need to add temperature control to a project, many hackers reach for a K-type thermocouple for their high-temperature needs, or an integrated temperature-sensing IC when it doesn’t get that ...
