A field-programmable gate array, or FPGA for short, is a special type of semiconductor device that can be programmed by a customer, a product designer, or embedded systems engineer after the hardware has been manufactured and sold. An FPGA gets its name from two of its defining properties: field-programmable refers to ...
Wireless charging, also known as inductive charging, is a newly introduced approach to charging mobile-phone batteries. This method uses induction from the electromagnetic coils in the phone and charging platform to transfer power.
While this new concept is convenient for phone users, it may actually be causing ...
Question from the Customer:
I am working with the Aardvark I2C/SPI Host Adapter and the Aardvark Software API (Python). I am using the command aaspi_eeprom.py 0 100 read 0 0 4096. The I2C device I am working with is a PCA9546 translating switch: the address is 0xE0 and the EEPROM I am talking to connects to port 1 of the switch.
What changes ...
Question from the Customer:
With the Advanced Cable Tester V2, I am testing samples of USB Type-A to USB Type-C cables from various suppliers. In many cases, I see a DC Resistance failure for “GND+SHIELD A-Side Link”. I captured the results of a single cable with normal and flipped orientations (CC is on the same side as DP/DM, or CC...
There’s no denying that the Internet of Things (IoT) has expanded and improved technology. Not only does it help businesses gauge customer satisfaction, medical professionals gain a more accurate read on patient symptoms, or a runner track how many calories she burns as she improves her mile time, but it has also led professionals ac...
