Most projects are built on abstractions. After all, few of us can create our own wire, our own transistors, or our own integrated circuits. A few months ago, [Julian Ilett] found a problem using the ...

How to use unfiltered PWM to drive high power loads. How to properly set the PWM duty cycle for high power loads. How to drive an incandescent lamp using PWM. Sometimes it’s necessary to drive a ...

A lot of what real engineering is all about is designing to the limits of your materials, with a healthy margin for error. On the other hand, seat-of-the-pants ...

As the telecom and computer industry drive Ethernet System with slot density and capacity to 100Gbps, the ASIC and microprocessor in the system is running at even higher frequency and lower voltage.

Solar photovoltaic (SPV) systems are employed in applications ranging from simple battery charging to complex grid-connected solar inverters. Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) is an algorithm used ...

Pulse-width modulation is a simple way to modulate, or change, a square wave. In its basic form, the duty cycle of the square wave changes according to some input. The duty cycle is the ratio of high ...
