A previous Design Idea describes an astable multivibrator that gets hysteresis from the positive feedback stage using a technique you can characterize as positive-capacitive feedback (Reference 1). It ...
(Nanowerk News) Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) can collect mechanical energy extensively through contact initiation and electrostatic induction. TENGs have shown a wide range of applications in ...
Using pulse outputs from a PLC is a cost-effective way to get simple motion. Most, if not all, PLC manufacturers provide a way to control servos and steppers using a pulse train signal. So when a ...
Pulse-skipping mode (PSM) is widely used as a method for improving the efficiency at light load. For this example, we will use the TPS65290 which has adopted PSM. A simplified block diagram and an ...
The PD6830 ProtEx-RTP Pulse Input Rate/Totalizer displays local or remote flow information. The SafeTouch through-glass buttons allow operation without removing the cover. Flowmeter k-factor units are ...
