When analog circuits mix with digital, the former are sometimes dissatisfied with the latter’s usual single supply rail. This creates a need for additional, often negative polarity, voltage sources that are commonly provided by capacitive charge pumps...
EPC introduces the 100 V, 1 mOhm EPC2361 GaN FET in compact 3 mm × 5 mm QFN package, offering higher power density for DC-DC conversion...
The logic probe is powered from the device under test – it may be any binary logic, which can be powered in the range +2 V to +6 V...
Differential temperature measurement is a handy way to quantify the performance of heatsinks, thermoelectric coolers, and thermal control in electronic assemblies. Figure illustrates an inexpensive design for a high-resolution differential thermometer utilizing the ∆VBE effect to make accurate measurements with ordinary uncalibrated transistors as precision temperature sensors...
Conventional thermostats are based on separate temperature sensor and heater devices with means for feedback between them. But in some recent EDN design ideas we’ve seen thermostat designs that meld the functions of sensor and heater into a single active device...
Part 3 will explain the hardware conversion of a CNN and specifically the benefits of using an artificial intelligence microcontroller with a hardware-based CNN accelerator...
This is part 2 in a series of articles focusing on the properties and applications of convolutional neural networks, which are mainly used for pattern recognition and the classification of objects...
The world of artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly evolving, and AI is increasingly enabling applications that were previously unattainable or very difficult to implement. This series of articles explains convolutional neural networks and their significance in machine learning within AI systems...
The circuit shows an electronic switch driven by a momentary pushbutton, which turns the power alternately on and off. It was designed for battery-powered equipment...
