Most of the parts we use operate at 3.3volts, but we still run into a lot of old 5volt stuff, and an occasional 2.5volt or 1.8volt part. This post explains how to use the Bus Pirate’s open collector ...
At the heart of a transceiver is usually a phase-locked-loop (PLL) synthesizer, which delivers a signal to downstream components such as mixers, filters and power amplifiers. At higher frequencies, ...
The SeaI/O-530 and SeaI/O-540 DAQ Modules integrate open-collector outputs and optically isolated inputs for distributed control. Ordering options allow control from a host device via wireless, ...
Open-collector outputs are useful for transmitting buffered digital/pulse signals to the external world when high drive is needed. In harsh operating environments like automotive systems, however, ...
While both operational amplifiers and voltage comparators have been with us since before 1970, the similarities and differences tend to be vague. This discussion will help in understanding this ...
The GP2Y0D02 is an infrared proximity sensor with a detection field that extends 80cm. This type of sensor can be used to build collision avoidance systems for robots. We’ll demonstrate this sensor ...
The modules are intended for test engineers, technicians, and others working with high-speed machinery, equipment test beds, and other applications that monitor high-frequency analog signals and ...
The PD6830 ProtEx-RTP Pulse Input Rate/Totalizer displays local or remote flow information. The SafeTouch through-glass buttons allow operation without removing the cover. Flowmeter k-factor units are ...
