Fundamentals of I3C interface communication - EDN
Dec 5, 2022 · I3C is a new serial communication protocol for embedded systems that offers significantly higher data throughput and more advanced features than I 2 C. With I3C, engineers and designers can improve the performance of their designs while also adding in new features like hot-join, in-band interrupts (IBI), and high data rate (HDR) modes.
Audio levels, dBu, dBV, and the gang: What you need to know
Apr 18, 2017 · But before delving into the interfaces and their differences, we need to look at the purely audio phenomenon called dBVU. VU Meters We’ve all seen “VU” (volume unit) meters on audio equipment, but the truth is, very few of them are true VU meters.
Op-Amp Circuits, Configurations, and Schematics - EDN
Apr 29, 2020 · Introduction to Op Amps. Operational amplifiers (commonly called op amps) are a ubiquitous building block for designing electronic circuits. Today, these devices are fabricated as small integrated circuits, but the concept started long ago using vacuum tubes.
Eye Diagram Basics: Reading, Analyzing and Applying
Dec 16, 2011 · How to read an eye diagram. A properly constructed eye should contain every possible bit sequence from simple alternate 1’s and 0’s to isolated 1’s after long runs of 0’s, and all other patterns that may show up weaknesses in the design.
Bimetallic Strip: Construction, Uses & Applications - EDN
Jul 27, 2020 · Introduction. According to Wikipedia, the basic invention of bimetallic strips comes from 18th-century clockmaker John Harris (1693-1776). Two strips of dissimilar metals are mechanically joined either by rivets or by being fused together along their length to form a structure that responds to changes of temperature by bending in a preferred direction.
Automotive HVAC & Cabin Climate Control System Basics - EDN
Dec 21, 2012 · Introduction. Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) is the technology for indoor and automotive ambient comfort. HVAC facilitates in managing the pleasant climate inside the cabin by controlling the degree of hotness/coolness.
Equalization Techniques: CTLE, DFE, FFE, and Crosstalk - EDN

SELV In Power Supplies: Definition & Applications - EDN
May 14, 2013 · What does SELV stand for? SELV stands for Safety Extra Low Voltage. Some AC-DC power supply installation manuals contain warnings concerning SELV. For example, there may be a warning about connecting two outputs in series because the resulting higher voltage may exceed the defined SELV safe level, which is less than or equal to 60VDC.
