Hacks of Electronics
We see numbers displayed on many electronic devices around us, like digital clocks, calculators, microwave ovens, and scoreboards. But have you ever wondered how these numbers appear on the screen? One of the most common ways to show numbers in electronic devices is by using a Seven Segment Display. It is a simple electronic component […]
In the field of electronics and optoelectronics, light-sensitive devices play a crucial role in converting light signals into electrical signals. Among the most widely used light sensors are the Photodiode, Phototransistor, and Photoresistor (also known as Light Dependent Resistor or LDR). Though they all respond to light, their construction, working principles, advantages, disadvantages, and applications […]
Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) might sound intimidating at first, but they’re actually one of the most exciting ways to learn digital design. Unlike microcontrollers (like Arduino or STM32) that run instructions on fixed hardware, FPGAs let you design your own hardware. That means you can create custom processors, signal processors, robotics controllers, or even video […]
Photodiode is a crucial component in modern electronics, enabling devices to detect and respond to light. From remote controls and light meters to solar panels and advanced optical communication systems, photodiodes play a silent but powerful role in shaping how we interact with technology. In this article, we’ll explore everything you need to know about […]
Introduction: In electronic circuit design or repair, selecting the right capacitor is critical to performance and reliability. Ceramic and electrolytic capacitors are two of the most commonly used capacitor types, each suited for distinct applications due to their differing structures and electrical characteristics. Understanding their key differences – including capacitance range, frequency response, polarity requirements, […]
In modern electronics, high speed PCB design is critical for ensuring signal integrity, reducing EMI, and maximizing performance. Whether you’re designing for IoT, 5G, or high-frequency applications, mastering PCB design and layout techniques is essential. Below, we break down advanced high-speed PCB design techniques, including signal routing, impedance control, and thermal management, while highlighting how […]
