Did you know that there is a place in this earth where electronics and product development is not a weird thing that can only be
Have you heard of a current source before? In electronics, when you hear the word source, it means that part is “giving” or “providing” something,
When it comes to the design of a power supply that needs to convert AC mains voltage into a fixed DC voltage, it is the

Most of us have come across PCB and FPCB in our day to day usage of electronic devices. However, few of us have ever taken time
Nowadays, most electronic devices out there require some form of intelligence or decision making. Sometimes very talented electronic engineers can make this using purely analogue
If you think about it, almost all electronic devices found out there have their components sitting in a nice looking Printed Circuit Board or PCB.
Lately, there has been a rise in dashcams sold worldwide to protect the driver’s insurance claims. Most of the time, these have been sufficient. I
Having a hard time understanding an analogue circuit? One smart way to understand how a circuit works is by simulating it and changing its components
One of the main challenges that HW startups face is the issue of financing the project. Fortunately, in the last years, a range of different

A tree can be long, tall with vibrant green leaves and mandarins because it has strong roots and a system that can deliver its nutrients
Just as a stable voltage source is necessary for any analogue circuit to work properly, a clock is required for any digital circuit to appropriate
This article, or actually, this personal essay so to speak, about the moral issue of working for defence contractors, is the first written composition in
A device’s power source and power management are one of the most important parts of any electronic product. After all, without a stable voltage source that
What is the worst it can happen? It’s a good question to ask when you are taking a decision. You imagine yourself going through the
