Microcontrollers come in all sorts and sizes, and it’s very tempting to use them everywhere. If you are in a plan to build your own Vending Machine, probably you need a microcontroller-compatible Drop ...

Printers are becoming more and more versatile. Now they can even print sensors and electronic components on 2D and 3D substrates. A new, robot-assisted production line allows the process to be ...

The advent of microcontroller modules like the Arduino opened up ability to build and program interactive objects to a whole generation of makers. Today these modules make it simple to control ...

Temperature-indicator and temperature-based products have generated wide interest. There are numerous applications for such devices with many possible solutions, each with its own advantages and ...

Inter integrated circuits (I2C) is a multi-master, low-bandwidth, short distance, serial communication protocol. Because of its simplicity and flexibility, I2C and its derivatives are widely employed ...

Most electronic engineers know that a transistor’s base-emitter voltage (V BE) has a temperature coefficient (TC) of about -2 mV/°C. However, for precision temperature sensors, “about” isn’t good ...

As a fabless semiconductor manufacturer, LZE GmbH has successfully commercialized the patented HallinOne® technology of Fraunhofer IIS over the past years – among others with the dual 3D magnetic ...

Monitoring the health of a chip post-manufacturing, including how it is aging and performing over time, is becoming much more important as ICs make their way into safety-critical applications such as ...

Life safety systems manufacturer Hochiki Europe has launched a range of sensors with short circuit isolators (SCI), which identify and divert power from devices that have short-circuited. The fully ...

Note: This specialization requires purchase of a hardware kit in order to apply your knowledge and skill with real world tools. The hardware will be used to complete the lab exercises across the four ...
