One of the image sensors intended for 3D vision called Time of Flight (ToF) has already been increasingly available in recent years. Its job is to illuminate the scene using a modulated light source and observe the reflected light. The phase shift between reflection and illumination can be measured and translated into the distance. […]
Embedded computing is part of our day-to-day lives through consumer electronics, mobile and industrial devices, automobiles, and many more. Embedded computing is essential to the appropriate functioning of products and applications: communication, medical, aerospace, and more. These systems are programmed to perform specific tasks. Computing systems can be made up of hardware and software with […]
The automotive industry has been a major consumer of electronics technology since the late 1960s. And as technology progresses, the demand for hybrid automobiles and electric cars is also growing. To address these demands, the automotive industry must work hand-in-hand with electronics technology. Over the years, car manufacturers have relied on electronics for entertainment. But […]
The introduction of electronics technology greatly impacted our lives from consumer electronics, portable computers, and mobile devices. It is now part of our everyday personal and business lives due to its convenience and functionality. Every day we see or use products that utilize electronics technology. And without these, life will never be the same. More […]
What is System-on-a-chip? SOC is an Integrated Circuit that may contain digital, analog, or mixed-signal functions used in computer or electronic systems. It essentially combines all electronic circuits needed into one single integrated chip. A SOC usually is composed of utility software applications, operating systems, microprocessors or digital signal processors, RAM or ROM, power-on reset […]
Integrated Circuit is the little black chip embedded in an electronic device. This flat black chip or commonly known as a silicon chip, or analog IC, is made of electronic components such as transistors, resistors, capacitors, and others to work together to perform a specific function. Integrated Circuits (ICs) are vital components in telecommunications, automotive, […]
The importance of the ASIC chip is evident in our daily lives. From the kitchen appliances to transportation, mobile devices, hospital, and medical equipment, ASIC chips are the main components. Over the years, ASIC chips play an immense role in life. The market demands of consumer electronics and mobile devices are growing and that ASIC […]
What are VLSI and its uses? Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) is the process of creating an Integrated Circuit (IC) by incorporating tens of thousands of transistors into one single chip. VLSI reduces the need for more circuits in one system, especially for complex devices. The integration of technology helped reduce the size of electronic […]
A voltage regulator is a device that maintains the voltage of a power source within prescribed limits. This useful device keeps the output voltage at the same level even when loading conditions or input voltage changes. The voltage regulator comes in two types: linear and switching. Linear Voltage and Switching Regulator Explained A linear […]
Have you ever wondered where the idea of the system-on-a-chip (SoC) came from? Gadgets nowadays are getting more advanced and most of them are based on SoCs. Basically, these components can be a bit hard to define. Where SoCs Are Commonly Used You will usually find SoCs in your smartphone, smart TV, […]
