Reverse polarity is one of the most common causes of circuit failure, from hobby projects to industrial systems. The good news is that a well-designed reverse polarity protection using MOSFET ...

The ways on the PCB from the XT30 power connector on the other side may short-circuit the metal cover on the Arduino USB-B connector. I recommend covering it with insulating tape. Some manufacturers ...

Some members of the maker community are distraught about Arduino’s new terms of service (ToS), saying that the added rules put the company’s open source DNA at ...

Hi, I'm Bill. I'm a software developer with a passion for making and electronics. I do a lot of things and here is where I document my learning in order to be able to inspire other people to make ...

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 ...

Smartphone processor and modem maker Qualcomm is acquiring Arduino, the Italian company known mainly for its open source ecosystem of microcontrollers and the software that makes them function. In its ...

[Sergey Mironov] sent in his SelfieBot project. His company, Endurance Robots, sells a commercial version of the bot, which leads us to believe that in a strange and maybe brilliant move he decided to ...

Abstract: Power Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors (MOSFETs) are essential in modern electronics, enabling efficient power conversion and control in a wide range of applications. Wide ...

A classic one-man band generally features a stringed instrument or two, a harmonica in a hands-free holder, and some kind of percussion, usually a bass drum worn like a backpack and maybe some cymbals ...

Abstract: The equations typically taught and used to estimate the threshold voltage for MOSFETs, based on the band bending in the MOSFET channel, are simple and easy to develop. However, they work ...

Compared to traditional silicon, power MOSFETs based on silicon carbide (SiC) can handle higher voltages with lower on-resistance (R DS(on)) and superior thermal conductivity, opening the door to ...

In this article, we summarize a recent initial demonstration of an aluminum nitride (AlN) UWBG-based MOSFET device. Decades of research and development are needed to successfully commercialize a new ...
