Abstract: This paper introduces an educational platform used for analysis of buck-boost converters, suitable for undergraduate (final year) electrical engineering training. The unidirectional topology ...

Daniel Ansorregui has developed LightInk, an open-source solar-powered E-ink watch inspired by 90s solar digital watches. It ...

A buck-boost converter is useful when an intermediate bus voltage is used, and there is a requirement to either buck or boost the input voltage. In this article, we discuss a novel implementation of ...

Switch-mode power supplies (SMPS) based on the boost principle can convert a low voltage into a higher voltage. For this purpose, the standard boost topology is used as shown in Figure 1. 1. A simple ...

After the previous attempt of running a PC off AA cells got a lot of comments, [ScuffedBits] decided to do the scientifically responsible thing and re-ran the experiment with all the peer-reviewed ...

On the list of cars widely regarded as the most reliable vehicles ever built, up there with the Toyota Land Cruiser, the Honda Civic, and the Mercedes W123 diesels, is the unassuming Toyota Prius.

The following sections provide an introduction to Digital Power Starter Kit, links to relative documentation and required tools to support hardware. Project consists of the main application which ...

H-bridge buck-boost ICs are widely used in applications requiring a constant voltage or current source even when the system battery drops to lower voltages. They make sense when a single-stage ...

Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) disclosed on Tuesday that it is acquiring hardware startup Arduino to expand the San Diego-based chipmaker's presence in the automation and robotics markets. Terms of the deal ...

Qualcomm announced Tuesday it will acquire Arduino for undisclosed terms. The chipmaker said the Italy-based company would become an independent subsidiary of Qualcomm. In this article Qualcomm wants ...
