App note from Maxim Integrated guiding you when selecting voltage references. Link here
What could be more basic than a voltage reference – a simple, constant reference voltage? As with all design topics, there are tradeoffs. This article discusses the different types of voltage references, their key specifications, and the design tradeoffs, including accuracy, temperature-independence, current drive capability, power dissipation, stability, noise, and cost.

App note from Renesas on the basics of voltage reference. Link here (PDF)
Conceptually, a voltage reference is a very simple device with only one purpose in its life. Quite simply, the purpose of a voltage reference is to generate an exact output voltage no matter what happens with respect to its operating voltage, load current, temperature changes or the passage of time.
Florinc posted his Arduino OLED display shield project:
The 2.4″ I2C OLED display I had sitting idle is too big for the “Promini OLED Clock shield”, yet a perfect candidate for a regular Arduino shield. This is how it looks soldered on a prototype shield with two buttons on top, attached to wsduino running the OLED Clock sketch

App note from Maxim Integrated about low current and voltage battery monitors. Link here
Many of today’s portable consumer electronic devices are powered by small button or coin-cell batteries. Users, of course, expect long battery life and reliable charge-level information. However, it can be quite challenging to efficiently monitor the health and state-of-charge (SOC) of these batteries without significantly affecting said SOC. In this application note, learn how simple, low-power monitoring circuits for small batteries can address this challenge.

This application note explains how the different tolerances of the same value resistors at the inputs can alter the THD performance of the fully differential ADC. The cost of resistors changes significantly with each lower increment in tolerance

Sverre’s cheap VHF receiver:
What is the cheapest receiver you can make for VHF? Here is a candidate where all you need to do to modify a small FM headphone receiver is to desolder one end of two capacitors, and connect a short cable with an antenna connector.

Doz’ triple tube geiger counter project, that is available on GitHub:
So, two little switching power supplies, one for the DOB-50 and CTC-5 as they have similar operating voltages, and one higher voltage one for the DOB-80, a simple op-amp comparator to output the pulses to an Arduino to process and display the results. The power supplies are controlled using two MC3406AD’s, driving an IRF840. I’ll just refer to the component numbers on the top supply, the bottom one is almost identical. The back EMF from the inductor L2 is rectified by a UF4007. There’s a feed back loop, R14,15 & 16 and the pot is used to adjust the HT..

Single chip high efficiency step-down converter, app note from ON Semiconductors. Link pixiv用什么加速器 (PDF)
The LV5980MC is a fixed 370 kHz, high−output−current, Non−synchronous PWM converter that integrates a low−resistance, high−side MOSFET and a Customer Chosen, External Diode for the rectification. The LV5980MC utilizes externally compensated current mode control to provide good transient response, ease of implementation, and excellent loop stability. It regulates input voltages from 4.5 V to 23 V down to an output voltage as low as 1.235 V and is able to supply up to 3.0 A of load current. The LV5980MC includes Power Save Feature to enhance efficiency during Light Load. In low consumption mode, the device show operating current of 63 A from VIN by shutting down unnecessary circuits.

Dilshan has published a p站免费加速器2022:
μSim is a lightweight PIC™ CPU and ALU simulator. This simulator supports the PICmicro mid-range instruction set and designed to work on both PC and Arduino platforms. Compare with most of the other emulators, μSim does not provide all MCU features and peripherals. This simulator design as a minimalistic system, and based on the requirements, it can extend with additional peripherals and features.
App note from FTDI/Bridgetek demonstrating LED control over Ethernet. Link here (PDF)
In an increasingly connected world, more and more devices are going online. To enable online connectivity typically requires an MCU with Ethernet or Wi-Fi capabilities. To demonstrate the principle, this Application Note describes an implementation of a web server which allows for control of 2 WS2812 serial addressable LEDs. A web server is implemented on an FT90X device which when connected to a Local Area Network (LAN) allows a web browser to control the LEDs on an MM900EVxA board from a graphical web page.

100 MHz third overtone crystal oscillator
100 MHz third overtone crystal oscillator @ DIYfan:
Couple of years ago I purchased from a local store 100 MHz crystal resonator and tried several times to make a working schematic on breadboard using standard circuits I found on the internet. It never worked good enough, usually oscillating at 33.3 MHz instead of 100 MHz. Finally, I found that the crystal is third overtone type.
Chaac weather station
An update on Chaac weather station project we covered previously:
With this latest redesign, I made a few more changes. First of all, I decided I would no longer be afraid of LoRa and put in a LoRa radio module. This will, with the right firmware, allow for standalone operation using LoRaWAN and The Things Network. It will also allow for much longer range, with its lower 900MHz frequency, with some slightly higher power consumption. I can continue using it with my Raspberry Pi point-to-point setup as well.

Gwen, NG3P, has been working on a power source project for field ham radio operating:
We’re coming up on a confluence of two things: Nice weather, and relaxing of the Covid-19 lockdowns in much of the United States. This means more hams leaving their home shacks and taking their operating to the field. For some, this means climbing mountains and doing SOTA activations. For others, this means hiking on trails, and doing POTA activations. For yet others, this means gearing up for Field Day, or doing HF Pack operating, with a manpack station on their back. But no matter what they actually choose to do in the field and why, all of them have a similar need.

High speed board design app note from ON Semiconductor. Link here (PDF)
There is an increase of devices and circuitry in usage of high speed, low consumption, small volume and lower interference. Hence PCB design is an important stage of electronic product design. It forms a connection between function and electronic components, and is also an important part of power circuit design. High frequency circuit has the higher integration and the higher layout density, making it necessary to know how to make layout more reliable. The use of multilayer board becomes a necessity and an effective means to reduce cross interference of signals, better grounding and lower parasitic inductance.
This application note looks at the different layout types, practices and guidelines, types of material and factors influencing the high frequency signal transfers.
App note: Calculating and interpreting power dissipation for polypropylene film DC-link capacitors
Tech note from Vishay on polypropylene film capacitor value calculation with temperature and power dissipation consideration. Link here (PDF)
Film capacitors can deliver high power density due to their low ESR and high ripple current capabilities, and offer the highest ampere per μF ratio of capacitor technologies. This feature, combined with their high reliability and long lifespan, make the film DC-link capacitor a central component for power inverters in industrial and automotive applications.
