Let’s face it: analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) operate differently. Their analog inputs are voltage-input-sensitive devices that leave radio-frequency (RF) engineers scratching their heads about ...

A synchronous step-down dc-dc converter in chip-scale packaging reduces the board space required to build a 500-mA buck regulator, yet still achieves efficiencies up to 93% and a high degree of dc ...

45In meteorology, three different temperature scales are used: Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin. German-born scientist Gabriel Daniel Fahrenheit developed the Fahrenheit Scale. He introduced his scale ...

When Texas Instruments developed the TPS62601 500-mA synchronous buck converter, it had one paramount goal in mind: small size. To achieve this objective, the company upped its switching frequency to ...

Commercial shipping scales can cost a mint, so do-it-yourselfer arcticpenguin modified an electronic bathroom scale purchased at a thrift shop to do the job. A bathroom scale can weigh packages out of ...

Wave energy technology developer Oscilla Power, the University of Maine’s Advanced Structures & Composites Center (ASCC) and the Maine Maritime Academy successfully deployed a 1/6 scale prototype of ...

In what may prove to be a major development for scientists in fields ranging from forensics to quantum communications, researchers have developed a new, highly sensitive, low-cost technique for ...

Scientists at MIT and Harvard have found a new and efficient way to convert carbon dioxide into formate, a fuel that can then be scaled to produce electricity. Last month was the hottest September on ...

In what may prove to be a major development for scientists in fields ranging from forensics to quantum communications, researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have ...
