Introduction to PIC Microcontroller: Architecture, Features, and Applications08 April 2025
The world's smallest microcontrollers that can be programmed to execute a wide variety of tasks are PIC (Programmable Device Controllers) microcontrollers. In several electronic gadgets, such as phones, machine control systems, warning systems, embedded systems, etc., these microcontrollers are included. There are various types of microcontrollers, even though the best are found in the programmable microcontroller range of GENIE. This microcontrollers are programmed and simulated with software from a circuit wizard.
What is a 555 Timer?09 April 2025
555 Timer is an integrated circuit chip that is often used for timers, pulse generators, and oscillating circuits. 555 can be used as a delay device, a trigger, or a starting resonator element in a circuit.
What is Universal Serial Bus (USB)?19 January 2026
Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a serial bus standard and a technical specification for input and output interfaces. It is widely used in information communication devices. The latest generation is USB4, and its transmission speed is 40Gbit/s, the three-stage voltage is 5V/12V/20V, the maximum power supply is 100W.
What is a Force Sensor?19 April 2021
Force sensor (force sensor) is a component that converts the magnitude of force into related electrical signals. The force sensor can detect mechanical quantities such as tension, pressure, weight, torque, strain, and interior stress. It has become indispensable core component of power equipment, engineering machinery, various working machines, and industrial automation systems.
Filters Explained: Principles, Parameters and Application Guide09 April 2025
A filter is a frequency selection device that allows specific frequency components to pass through while significantly attenuating other frequency components. This article provides a comprehensive introduction to the basic concepts, main parameters, classification, operating principles and precautions for the use of filters.
AC Contactor: What is Self-Locking?01 March 2022
AC contactors often use three arc extinguishing methods: double-break electric arc extinguishing, longitudinal seam arc extinguishing and grid arc extinguishing. It is used to eliminate the arc generated by the moving and static contacts during the opening and closing process.This article mainly introduce the principle of AC Contactor self-locking.
What is Semiconductor Package?06 December 2021
Semiconductor package is the process of assembling integrated circuits into chip final products. Simply put, it is to put the integrated circuit die (Die) produced by the foundry on a substrate that plays a supporting role, lead out the pins, and then fix the package into a whole.
What are the Types and Dielectric of Ceramic Capacitors?16 October 2025
A ceramic capacitor is also called a monolithic capacitor, whose dielectric material is ceramic. According to the different ceramic materials, it can be divided into two types: low-frequency ceramic capacitors and high-frequency ceramic capacitors. According to the structure, it can be divided into wafer capacitor, tubular capacitor, rectangular capacitor, a chip capacitor, feedthrough ceramic capacitor and so on.
What is an Electromagnetic Relay?13 October 2020
Electromagnetic relay is an electronic control device. It has a control system (also called an input loop) and a controlled system (also called an output loop). It is usually used in automatic control circuits. It actually a kind of "automatic switch" that uses a smaller current and a lower current to control a larger current and a higher voltage. Therefore, it plays the role of automatic adjustment, safety protection, and conversion circuit in the circuit.
What is VCSEL?28 October 2021
Hello everyone, I am Rose. I welcome you on board, today I will introduce VCSEL to you. The Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser (VCSEL, or Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser) is a semiconductor whose laser is emitted perpendicular to the top surface. It differs from an edge-fired laser, which emits the laser from the edge.
