Editor’s note: Here is an article regarding a new approach to analog isolation. Each application example makes use of a high-current PVI as an isolated power source, a micropower digital isolator, and ...

Isolation is needed now more than ever with applications like LED lighting, brushless motors, power monitoring, and many others that are a combination of direct offline power electronics with isolated ...

Recently, [Edward Schmitz] wrote in to let us know about his Hackaday.io project: SigCore UC: An Open-Source Universal I/O Controller With Relays, Analog I/O, and Modbus for the Raspberry Pi. In the ...

In previous installments of the AudioFile, we’ve talked about basic PCM audio, which encodes audio into a series of numbers that a computer can play or manipulate. We’ve also discussed the process of ...

Here's why I'm asking: I have a Denon AVR 3803 receiver. I like it quite a bit, except for one glaring (IMHO) omission; in order to use my Sennheiser wireless headphones, I have to run both analog and ...

This smart power bank for portable electronics integrates a photovoltaic input with other power-supply sources and battery ...
