How to Transmit 9 V / 12 V DC over Long Distance ?

 Hey Techies...    Today we are going to explore how to transmit 9 V / 12 V DC over a  long distance.    Consider we have a camera installed at one end in a farm which is located 500 meter away from the Power supply, since it is a farm...

Discrete Vs Analog I/O Signals Vs Digital Signal

         The first step of digitization is to sample the analog signal. Output of this process is a discrete time signal. At this point, there is no constraint on amplitude of the output signal. Figure below shows both the signals.   ...

What are Static Variables and functions in C ?

In C, functions are global by default. The “static” keyword before a function name makes it static.Unlike global functions in C, access to static functions is restricted to the file where they are declared. Therefore, when we want to restrict access to functions, we make...

Difference between float and double in C/C+

Double has 2x more precision then float.float is a 32 bit IEEE 754 single precision Floating Point Number1 bit for the sign, (8 bits for the exponent, and 23* for the value), i.e. float has 7 decimal digits of precision.Double is a 64 bit IEEE 754 double precision Floating...

Difference between Definition and Declaration ?

 Declaration of a variable is for informing to the compiler the following information: name of the variable, type of value it holds and the initial value if any it takes. i.e., declaration gives details about the properties of a variable. Whereas, Definition of a variable...

How can I calculate the resolution of load cell?

 Let's assume that you have 5kg loadcell. Its output is specified for 1mV/V excitation meaning that if you have 5V excitation, you shall get 5mV output for a full-scale load of 5kgs.Simply correlate this as 5000uV (microvolts) corresponding to 2000gm of load.Next,...

What is Common-mode Voltage Gain ?

Common-mode voltage gain refers to the amplification given to signals that appear on both inputs relative to the common (typically ground).You will recall from a previous discussion that a differential amplifier is designed to amplify the difference between the two voltages...

What Is Static Code Analysis?

Static code analysis is a method of debugging by examining source code before a program is run. It’s done by analyzing a set of code against a set (or multiple sets) of coding rules. Static code analysis and static analysis are often used interchangeably, along with...

WOW ! FRAMs as alternatives to flash memory in embedded designs

 Ferroelectric random access memory (FRAM) is widely known as a non-volatile, stand-alone memory technology that has been a part of the semiconductor industry for more than a decade.In recent years, integrated circuit manufacturers have been considering FRAM as a strong...

What is Proof of concept POC ?

     A Proof of Concept (POC) is a small exercise to test the design idea or assumption. The main purpose of developing a POC is to demonstrate the functionality and to verify a certain concept or theory that can be achieved in development. Prototyping...
