Electronics design is evolving rapidly through EDA tools, embedded systems, and smart components. Engineers focus on compact, efficient, and connected products for industrial, automotive, and consumer sectors. Trends include PCB miniaturization, power optimization, and design for manufacturability. Innovations from Cadence, Mentor Graphics, and Altium streamline development with simulation, modeling, and verification. Electronics Weekly delivers design-focused content, covering tools, best practices, and case studies to support professional development and innovation in hardware engineering.
A touch more work over the weekend for the rev counter into a solid form that can be tried on the cnc lathe when it is re-assembled. Although some potential upgrades have been identified, the software is in a thoroughly usable condition. Find other Engineer in Wonderland cnc stuff here In the photo on the right, it is sitting in ...
Ohio State University’s is aiming for 400mph from a student-designed and built electric car...
The Device Developers' Conference runs in May, across three locations: Bristol (May 14th), Cambridge (May 16th) and Manchester (May 22nd).
NXP has unveiled what it claims is the first resonant power factor correction (PFC) and LLC combo controller for switch-mode power supplies. LLC (inductor-inductor-capacitor)...
Even in an air-conditioned office, sitting near a window with direct sunlight can get pretty toasty. Now a skylight that captures the boiling rays to make electricity could keep the heat out.
Scaled Composites has revealed plans to apply hybrid gasoline-electric propulsion on "future unique aircraft configurations" after completing initial ground and flight tests of the Model 367 BiPod.
Marine Current Turbines, Bristol-based makers of the worlds largest tidal turbine, has kicked off Wales' first tidal array. In partnership with RWE npower renewables, MCT has submitted a consent application to install a 10MW array...
The aim: Create a 3.3V source from a –5V supply. You can obtain a precise, positive-output voltage from a negative-voltage supply with a boost converter and a linear regulator. The input and output capabilities of the circuit in Figure 1 depend on the allowable I/O voltages of IC1 and IC2. In this case, IC1 and IC2 convert a –5V input voltage to a 3.3V output voltage.<
Simon Calder, CEO of Cambridge Mechatronics talks to Electronics Weekly about the place of semiconductor start-ups in the UK, the absence of a high-tech skills shortage, and how to encourage students to consider careers in electronics design.
Micrel has introduced a power controller designed for use in digital cable receivers, DTV/ HDTVs, digital DVR STBs, and digital satellite receivers based on the US CableCard standard
