    What is the difference between TMDS and LVDS signal ?

    tmds to lvds https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TMDS At the moment I'm unaware if TMDS is required to use LVDS compatable voltages, so far I dont think it is.

    Heart Beat Monitor with Infra-red AND LDR Sensor

    program pic for photodiode input Interesting, how accurate do the IR/RED wavelengths need to be in order to make oxygen sensing work? I understand for optical blood glucose sensing the LEDs need to be very specific.

    High freq VCXO source,can i do in this way?

    You arnt telling us enough. What sort of frequency, over what range? Are you tuning to change bands, or just to lock the signal in phase with another? I'm not familiar with what I assume you mean to be infiniband, and I shouldnt have to look it up to provide an answer, provide more...

    How to measure 2000A DC cheaply?

    Theres a simpler way. You need a very small resistor, eg a length of cable that can take the current, but has a high enough resistance to produce a voltage you wont have to amplify much to use a voltmeter with. Depending on what you have you could also make a shunt for an existing current...

    video frame capture help needed

    lm1881 frame grabber Try looking at, http://www.techmind.org/vd/mk1/vdescrpt.html 15 USD is not a lot though. There was a cunning method of waveform digitising I saw aplied to JTAG. Used little more than a comparator and a ramp waveform. Only worked for repeating waveforms and you got 1...

    Req: Schematic of IBM harddisk

    Use the IBM tools to determine the state the drive is in. Its more likley the mechanical parts have failed than the electronics. Depending on how valuable the data is you could try buying the same model drive, and transplanting the controller board. The board is a small embedded computer, its...

    Missing codes in the output of ADC

    adc missing codes This is simply something you have to deal with, and very often for 12bit ADCs or more. Frequently a datsheet will say 'no missing codes to 10bits' or something similar. ADCs arnt perfect, you dont get absolute equality of channel widths (unless you use a wilkinson convertor...

    Short Time Furrier Transform is difference FFT

    fft of diff signal Just thought Id add, that if you want a space to frequency alg thats easier to use, takes less computer time but only deals with real data (no i componants) then try looking up the Hartley transform.

    Need suggestion for digital watermark using FPGA!

    I imagine one method would be to do something useless with spare gates in a design. Like tap out the authors name in morse code, or '(C) A-maze-ing FPGA desgins Ltd' in ASCII and have it output on a pin that isnt external to the package you are using. What level of reverse engineering are you...

    need help in selection of sensors

    Temperature IC wont actually tell you if the fan is working. Fans dont cool things, they just stir the air, they usually cool people becuase they aid evaporation. If you want to know the fan is on you either need to tell if its spinning, or if theres a strong air flow. Magnetic sensors will...
