MCP1640 IC : PinOut, Features, Specifications, Circuit, Working, Datasheet & Its Applications
A synchronous step-up DC to DC-converter is an integrated circuit that enhances voltage supply from an input to an output. So this type of SMPS (switched-mode power supply) utilizes a minimum of two semiconductors like a transistor, a diode, and a single energy storage element. These converters are more efficient than nonsynchronous converters including 95% optimal operation efficiencies. The applications of this converter involve powering natural LED panels, charging white LED backlights, … [Read more...]
LED Traffic Light Module : PinOut, Features, Specifications, Interfacing & Its Applications
The first traffic light (stoplights or traffic signals) was launched in December 1868 in London on Parliament Square to decrease the requirement of traffic police officers to control traffic. These systems use electricity & computerized control with superior traffic light technology and improved intersection capacity. This system can also be used for purposes like pedestrian movement control, railway level crossings, and variable lane control like smart motorways and tidal flow systems. … [Read more...]
KY-024 Hall Sensor : PinOut, Features, Specifications, Interfacing, Working & Its Applications
A linear magnetic hall sensor or hall-effect sensor is a module named after the physicist Edwin Herbert Hall who discovered the Hall-effect phenomenon. So this sensor detects the magnetic field strength by producing a voltage across a conductor whenever a current is supplied throughout it while arranged in a magnetic field. So it converts the magnetic field strength essentially into an electrical signal. Thus, the examples of linear magnetic hall sensors are KY-024, 49E, A3144, KY-035, etc. This … [Read more...]
LM337 IC : PinOut, Features, Specifications, Circuit, Working, Datasheet & Its Applications
Generally integrated circuits are available in different forms like logic gates, 555 timers, microprocessors, microcontrollers, op-amps, and voltage regulator ICs like LM338, LM358, LM337, LM741, LM324 IC, and LM339 IC. So a voltage regulator is an electronic circuit that supplies a stable voltage instead of changes within the input voltage (or) load. So it is a significant component in power supply circuits. This IC can be designed with discrete electronic components like transistors and … [Read more...]
KY-017 Module : PinOut, Equivalent, Specifications, Interfacing, Working, Datasheet & Its Applications
A switch that uses a small amount of mercury within a sealed glass tube to detect tilting is known as a mercury tilt switch. In 1922, Louis Austin Merritt Phelan invented a mercury switch through a glass envelope. After that, a more advanced mercury switch with a tubular glass envelope was invented in 1937 by Harold Olson. Whenever the switch tilts, then mercury will move and break the circuit. This is an electrical switch that opens & closes an electrical circuit whenever a small amount of … [Read more...]
PAM8302 IC : PinOut, Features, Specifications, Circuit, Working & Its Applications
Generally, a Class D audio amplifier is a PWM amplifier or a switching amplifier. The amplifying devices in this amplifier, like transistors and generally MOSFETs, work as electronic switches but not as linear gain devices like in other amplifiers. So the switches in this type of amplifier are either completely ON or OFF to reduce the power losses within the output devices. They work by quickly switching backward and forward in between the supply rails with a PWM technique to generate a pulse … [Read more...]
KY-006 Module : PinOut, Features, Specifications, Interfacing, Working, Datasheet & Its Applications
A buzzer is a small electronic voice device that generates sound through electrical signal transmission. So this device can generate different music sounds based on designs & applications like flute sounds, alarm sounds, buzzers, electric bells, etc. Whenever users activate this device, it works as an audible alert or notification device by generating a "buzzing" sound. Therefore, developers commonly use this device in different projects to generate sound feedback for user communications … [Read more...]
MPU6050 Module : PinOut, Features, Specifications, Interfacing, Working & Its Applications
An accelerometer & gyroscope sensor is a module that measures acceleration and also angular velocity. An accelerometer measures linear acceleration along with a single or more axes. So it works by detecting the caused force by a change within motion or vibration. This force can cause the mass to press a piezoelectric material that generates an electrical charge. The Gyroscope sensor measures angular velocity. This sensor can be used in gaming controllers, robotics & other devices that … [Read more...]
LMH1981 IC : PinOut, Features, Specifications, Circuit, Working, Datasheet & Its Applications
A sync separator or a multi-format video sync separator is a device that extracts timing data from video inputs and generates sync signals mainly for video systems. This sync separator detects the input video format and separates synchronous signals for typical & high-definition video formats. So it generates low-jitter vertical and horizontal sync signals to provide timing outputs mainly for video systems. The applications of sync separators include; professional and broadcast video … [Read more...]
