How does an Inverter Work?06 April 2021
The inverter is a converter that converts DC electric energy into constant frequency and constant voltage AC or Frequency and voltage modulation AC. It is composed of an inverter bridge, control logic, and filter circuit. Inverters are widely used in air conditioners, home theaters, electric grinding wheels, power tools, DVDs, VCD, computers, TVs, washing machines, range hoods, refrigerators, video recorders, massagers, fans, lighting, etc.
A Guide to Semiconductor IP Core18 January 2022
The IP to be introduced in this article is both a technical term and a commodity. It brings together the wisdom of chip designers and has the attributes of a commodity and intellectual property, which can be promoted, sold, and applied. Therefore, there are scientific and commercial activities such as IP development, IP trading and IP reuse in the semiconductor industry, and there are also some companies that are named as IP vendors and IP providers.
Introduction to Types of Motion Sensors24 October 2025
Motion sensor refers to a device that detects the motion of an object or person, including gravity, linear acceleration, rotation vector, vibration frequency, etc. Motion sensors can be used to monitor device movements such as tilt, shake, rotation, or swing. Among them, the rotation vector sensor and the gravity sensor are the most commonly used sensors for motion detection and monitoring. Today we come to learn about various types of motion sensors, including accelerometers, tilt sensors, vibration sensors, PIR (passive infrared) sensors, and rotation sensors.
What is Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU)?15 October 2025
An inertial measurement unit (IMU) is a device that measures three-dimensional linear and angular motion without an external reference, i.e., a device that measures the three-axis attitude angle (or angular rate) and acceleration of an object.
What is a PIN Diode?04 February 2021
While diodes with a simple PN junction are by far the most common type of diode in operation, in a variety of applications, other forms of diode may be used. The PIN diode is one type that is used for a number of circuits. In a variety of places, this diode type is used. For RF switching, the PIN diode is very fine, and the PIN structure in photodiodes is very useful as well.
What is the Ripple of the Power Supply, How to Measure its Value, and How to Suppress it?23 November 2021
Hello everyone, I am Rose. Welcome to the new post today. Ripple is a multi-dimensional clutter signal. It's a periodic signal that varies up and down around the output DC voltage, but the period and amplitude aren't fixed, and the ripples of different power sources alter with time. In addition, the waveform is different.
Introduction to Temperature Sensors24 October 2025
The temperature sensor refers to a sensor that can sense the temperature and convert it into a usable output signal, which is the core part of the temperature measuring instrument. It's divided into 5 types and each type has unique working principles. Besides, some factors need to be noticed in the installation and using process. For the temperature sensor can accurately measure the ambient temperature, it's widely used in various fields and provide convenience for people's production and daily lives.
