Ideas for Design

Targeted for the smart home, this design leverages two PIC MCUs that use a wireless RF transmitter/receiver to control up to six relays and monitor two analog signals.

In this Idea for Design, a PIC16F886 is used to perform six different instrument functions, ranging from a voltmeter to a frequency counter.

This design idea applies to ionizer machines that must have reliable testing of integrated circuits to ensure high-quality production.

Voltage converters rarely offer an adjustable current limit. However, a high-side N-channel MOSFET static switch driver offers a possible solution to not only limiting current...

Rather than implement a space-consuming controller FET solution to handle high currents, a monolithic PoL converter with internal FETs might be the right answer for your design...
