Explore the Cost-Effective Way to Support Mandatory ADAS Systems

Cars mean more than traveling from point A to point B. They are also directly or indirectly linked to one’s personal freedom – where to go, when to leave, with whom to travel – and have become a reflection of our priorities, tastes, aspirations, who we are (more often it’s what we want to project […]

Field-effect transistors (FETs)

Field-effect transistors (FETs)

Field-effect transistors (FETs) are a type of semiconductor device that is widely used in electronic devices. They have a number of advantages, including high input impedance, low noise, and low power consumption. FETs work by using an electric field to control the flow of current. Structure A FET has three main parts: a gate, a […]
Differences Between IPM, IPEM, and PEBB

Differences Between IPM, IPEM, and PEBB

In the field of integrated circuit design, IPM, IPEM, and PEBB are three significant concepts, each with its unique characteristics. Let’s explore them one by one. IPM (Intelligent Power Module): IPM is a specialized integrated circuit module designed for power electronic applications. It integrates power semiconductor devices such as power transistors and IGBTs with drive […]
What Is a Switching Voltage Regulator?

What Is a Switching Voltage Regulator?

Switching regulators are an essential circuit for efficiently generating stable supply voltages and for translating voltages up or down. Generating stable voltages capable of driving significant quantities of current is one of the fundamental tasks of electronic design. A basic model for a low-voltage electronic circuit goes something like this: A voltage with ample current-drive capacity […]
Resistance measurement

Resistance measurement

Due to its structural characteristics, resistance has lead inductance and distributed capacitance. When working at low frequencies, the resistance component plays a major role, and the reactance component can be ignored. But when the operating frequency increases, the reactance component cannot be ignored. At this time, the resistance value of the resistor working in the […]
Single arm bridge

Single arm bridge

There are many applications of electric bridges. The general application is Wheatstone single-arm electric bridges. The resistance of each arm is used to judge the size of the physical quantity by the degree of imbalance of the bridge (bridge current or voltage), such as strain gauges and so on. contents 1. What is a single […]
Light sensor

Light sensor

The light sensor can be used to detect a variety of physical quantities, such as sound field, electric field, pressure, vibration, temperature, acceleration, etc., and can also complete detection tasks that are difficult to complete in existing detection tasks. In a small space, in a strong electromagnetic interference and high-voltage environment, fiber optic sensors have […]
Feeder

Feeder

The feeder line is the signal line connecting the early TV and outdoor antenna, and its flat line is generally two-wire. It is also a term in the distribution network. It can refer to a branch connected to any distribution network node. It can be a feed-in branch or a feed-out branch. contents 1. What […]
Electrode polarization

Electrode polarization

Polarization refers to the phenomenon where things are polarized under certain conditions, causing their properties to deviate from their original state. Of course, electrode polarization occurs between the two electrodes (that is, the positive and negative electrodes, or the anode and cathode) of the electrolytic cell or battery. Let the positive charge accumulate around one […]
