The switching is required in many applications at low as well as at high frequency. RF MEMS switches are the specific micromechanical switches that are designed to operate at RF to mmWave frequencies. MEMS switches usages some mechanical movement to achieve a closed or open circuit in the Radio...
HSM-20G is one of the most common humidity and Temperature sensor. This sensor is fully analog type. The outputs are analog voltages rather than any digital signal.
The datasheet indicates that the output pins need some extra devices with it. here is the connection diagram:

Generating Sine wave is very demanded job in power electronics field. So do to me too. I read some topics over the internet and found many ways to generate a sine wave. As most of you are really interested in generating sine wave so I’m writing today about it here.
There is some different ways...
The Emergence of Power Integrity Analysis
As the speed of the data signal increases, many reasons including power supply noise lead to the degradation of the high-speed signals. In low power high-speed digital interfaces, it is crucial to characterize the whole system power supply in order to...
Spring-loaded pins are rapidly finding new applications in modular product design. Also referred to as SLCs (spring-loaded connectors), this product resolves many of the manufacturing issues like misalignment, coplanarity, and tolerance stack up that can plague traditional pins and sockets...
Back in the early 1990's, I accompanied our chief engineer to visit Intel. My company had just designed a new high-density pin grid array socket for Intel's new Pentium family. The Intel engineers loved our product and used it in their laboratories for testing. But later during that visit...
SPICE files embody the lowest level of digital and analog circuit behavior in circuit design and verification after place and route. It provides the analog behaviour of transistors and components of digital circuits and gate functions. Multi-layer circuit boards also utilize SPICE, especially if...
FGPA, ASIC or SoC designers use a variety of HDL's (hardware description languages) including Verilog, VHDL or SystemVerilog which can complicate visualization of complex designs. This is particularly the case when having to analyze designs from other engineers in your team and trying to figure...
These days, digital, DFT and mixed-signal engineers have to decipher larger and more complicated System-on-Chip (SoC) functionality, with multiple RTL components and Intellectual Property (IP) blocks obtained from a variety of sources. This can consume hours of engineering time.

It's been 4 years since I last posted on the EDAboard. There have been so many changes in the electronics industry. Spring pins are still one of the fastest growing forms of interconnecting two PCBs. The advantages for a designer to use spring pins are numerous: 1) The ability to blind mate two...
Find bellow an Android TCP client extension
that implements a very simple socket; note that its operation is performed 'one-shot', which means that only one command is sent ( and its respective response, read ) at a time, and then the socket connection is closed. So, be aware that it is not a...

The following attached file contains an SSH Client extension
which I made for my own use, but it may also be useful for users of the MIT Application Inventor 2 (AI2) community, or even to the AppyBuilder community (code intrinsically compatible for the last one, but not tested). This is just the...
Note: In earlier versions of the 802.11 standard, the (BCC) OFDM example was given in Annex G. However, an error existed (e.g. in IEEE Std 802.11-2007) in that the FCS was incorrect (see link or search online for "IEEE 802.11-09/0042r0").
The WiFi (802.11) standards documents are free to...
The following function may be useful for those who are starting in the microcontroller's world and wish to implement applications using 7-segment display with the CCS compiler in PIC platform. I've used long time ago:

while ( pin< 8 )...
Hi,
This project is to build cyclic on-off programmable timer. In this project user can set ON timer and Off time using keys and 7 segment display. Relay is provided as output, where relay will be remained ON for ON time and it will goes OFF after ON time overs. And Relay will remain Off till...

The problem:
In Vivado in the IP Packager when I was trying to make a custom component with mating interfaces to control PCIe4 IP Core, I couldn't do it because in the IP Packager PCIe4 control interfaces were missing, e.g.:
VLNV xilinx.com:display_pcie4: pcie4_cfg_mgmt_rtl:1.0
VLNV...
The problem:
In Vivado in the IP Packager, when we want to set a value for any interface parameter, we won't get any TCL commands in the Tcl Console.
This is probably a bug.
The following images visualize the problem:
The solution:
I managed to find these missing TCL commands :)...
The background:
I recently bought Raspberry PI 3 B and was shocked how fast and intuitive were the installation and the configuration.
I have started using Raspbian with NOOBS (the Operating System installer) from https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/
NOOBS lets me choose which OS to install...

Hello readers,
I am writing for my very first post in my very first blog. I would like to share with you some of the bad habits that I used to do at work and fortunately I have changed them into good habits.
I would first quote something my brother heard in a finance course a while ago. "A...
Electrical Ground is the reference point in circuits from which voltages are measured. Using the symbol of ground we can make our circuits looks simpler. Three types of electrical grounds are:
Simple ground
Digital Ground
Chassis ground
Earth ground

Those of us who have been in the PCB design business for more than a decade either have direct knowledge of, or have heard the stories about, how the profession has evolved since the late 70’s and early 80’s. The shift from drafting tables, Mylar, and hand taping, to light tables, digitizers and...
