Tired of loud TV ads? In 2012, Peter de Bruijn built the Mini-Mute — a clever circuit that let him mute his TV with a simple ...

A hacker’s view on ESD protection can tell you a lot about them. I’ve seen a good few categories of hackers neglecting ESD protection – there’s the yet-inexperienced ones, o… ...

This brief offers a fresh insight into the behavior of PIN diodes over temperature. A simple but accurate biasing and control circuit for attenuators and other PIN diode applications is described. The ...

The FirePower series is said to be the first to combine resonant capacitor charging and high-current laser diode firing on a ...

Silanna’s SL2002 laser driver ICs enable smaller and more efficient battery-powered range finding and measurement systems ...

This paper presents the results of an experimental evaluation of neutron damage in phase shifter circuits (i.e., Microwave Integrated Circuits, MIC) utilizing pin diodes as switches. In addition, the ...

The laser driver IC has been specifically designed to enable the creation of compact and low-cost battery-powered range-finding and measurement systems. This includes portable 3D mapping, sports ...
