What is the difference between MCU, ARM, FPGA, embedded

To learn embedded, you need to understand hardware knowledge, including single-chip microcomputer, ARM, FPGA, etc. Different hardware has different characteristics, and you need to understand their corresponding characteristics to be beneficial to operating applications. So what are the differences and characteristics of MCU, ARM, FPGA, and embedded?   Features of MCU:   1. Due to […]
Analog chip

Analog chip

Analog chip Analog chips mainly include power management chips and signal chain chips. Among them, the power management chip is a chip that is responsible for the conversion, distribution, detection and other power management responsibilities of electric energy in the electronic equipment system. It is mainly divided into AC-DC AC-DC conversion, DC-DC DC and DC […]
Amplifier

Amplifier

Amplifier task is to amplify the weak electrical signal from the signal source (from the mixer in the professional audio system) to drive the speaker to produce sound. It can also refer to other devices that perform power amplification. The function of the power amplifier is to amplify the weak signal from the sound source […]

Integrated Circuit

Integrated Circuit

integrated circuit Integrated circuit (Integrated circuit) is a kind of miniature electronic device. It uses a certain process to interconnect the transistors, resistors, capacitors, inductors and other components and wiring required in a circuit on a semiconductor substrate, and then encapsulate them in a tube. Inside the shell, a miniature structure with the required circuit […]
Capacitor

Capacitor

Two conductors close to each other sandwich a non-conductive insulating medium between them, which constitutes a capacitor. When a voltage is applied between the two plates of a capacitor, the capacitor will store charge. The capacitance of a capacitor is numerically equal to the ratio of the amount of charge on one conductive plate to […]
Transistor

Transistor

Transistor is a solid semiconductor device (including diodes, triodes, field effect transistors, thyristors, etc., sometimes referred to as bipolar devices), which has multiple functions such as detection, rectification, amplification, switching, voltage stabilization, signal modulation, etc. . As a variable current switch, the transistor can control the output current based on the input voltage. Unlike ordinary […]
HOW TO MEASURE THE QUALITY OF SMALL CAPACITY CAPACITORS?

HOW TO MEASURE THE QUALITY OF SMALL CAPACITY CAPACITORS?

1. Detect a small capacitor below 10pF. The capacity of a fixed capacitor below 10pF is too small. Use a multimeter to measure it. Only qualitatively check whether it has leakage, internal short circuit or breakdown. When measuring, you can use the multimeter R×10k block. Use two metal meter bars to connect the two pins of […]
