- Introduction to Tantalum Capacitors
21 February 2020
Tantalum capacitors are products with small volume, high capacitance and excellent performance. They were first developed by Bell Labs in the United States in 1956. They come in a variety of shapes and are made into small and chip components suitable for surface mounting, which are not only used in military communications, aerospace and other fields but also used in industrial control, film and television equipment, communication instruments and other products. - What are the Types and Dielectric of Ceramic Capacitors?
19 February 2020
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. - Photoresistor Basics: Types, Principles and Applications
03 January 2020
The article introduces the photoresistor’s main characteristics and principles including the working principle and structural principle. There are three types of photoresistor: ultraviolet photoresistors, infrared photoresistors, visible light photoresistors. Dimming circuit and light switch are the two applications of the photoresistor. - Use the Renesas AE-CLOUD2 to Send GPS Data to the Google Cloud IoT

USB ports supply both data communications and charging power to portable and wearable devices, so it’s becoming more and more critical to protect ports against abuse. - 3-D Printing as Part of the Next Industrial Revolution
15 November 2019
The advent of 3-D printing is an integral part of what many are dubbing the fourth industrial revolution, aka Industry 4.0 or the Industrial Internet of Things. The recent convergence of cyber-physical systems, the Internet of Things, and the Internet of Services, has all served to bring customers and suppliers closer together. - A Combo for Innovation: Open Source and Crowdfunding
15 November 2019
Open source is already known as a force multiplier, a factor that makes a company's staff, financing, and resources more effective. However, in the last few years, open source has started pairing with another force multiplier—crowdfunding. Now the results of this combination are starting to emerge: the creation of small, innovative companies run by design engineers turned entrepreneurs. Although the results are just starting to appear, they include a fresh burst of product innovation and further expansion of open source into business.
