Review: Bench-top Power Supply PeakTech PSU 6225A

Every devoted reader is familiar with Amazon's Kindle bright and crisp ePaper display. The e-reader operates with extremely low power consumption. This type of display can now also be used for your own projects...

How much oscilloscope will you get for less than 250 euros? In order to answer that question we got to work with one of the cheapest models from Owon, the SDS1102. Despite its modest price, this two-channel scope nevertheless offers an A/D-converter with 1 Gsamples/s and has an input bandwidth of 100 MHz.

With the conga-JC370, congatec adds the 3.5” form factor to its product range. Built around the eighth generation Intel Core U-series processors the new cores promise a performance increase of up to 40% in multi-threaded applications. We had a close look at the board.

The Elektor Start-Up Challenge 2019 provided an opportunity for French start-ups to showcase their technologies and compete for international recognition.

Alice likes to keep her conversations with Bob private. Secure communication schemes are necessary to hide information from Eavesdropping Eve and Maliciuous Mallory. In this interview Luka Matic reveals techniques for doing this.

Released last October at the 2019 Maker Faire Rome, the new Arduino Pro IDE is based on Eclipse Theia.

With 30 MHz bandwidth, 200 MSa/s sampling rate and its input range of +/-40 Vpp, IkaScope fits perfectly in your pocket and your hand. It transfers measured signals over high speed wifi connection to any Windows, Mac, or Linux desktop computers as well as tablets or smartphones (iOS & Android). It will remember your access points and connect to them instantly. No local network? No problems, IkaScope will create one on the go.

This is a submission from on new Nordic Semiconductor multiprotocol SoC (System on Chip) nRF52833. It supports Bluetooth 5.1, Bluetooth Mesh, 802.15.4, Thread, ZigBee and proprietary 2,4GHz protocols. For developments based on the nRF52833 there is also a flexible single-board Development Kit (DK) available.

This is a submission from Keysight Technologies on the new i3070 Series 6 In-Circuit Test (ICT) suite of solutions which enables electronics manufacturers to improve test throughput and the operational efficiency of their printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) manufacturing.

This is a submission from Melexis. Today’s smartphones and wearable monitors, such as smartwatches and fitness bands, allow people to capture more and more data about their lives, activities, and physical condition. New services enabled by this type of data are emerging, ranging from online group fitness training to telehealth and care for the elderly.

The ecological impact of our technologically-driven society is getting a great deal of attention these days - regularly grabbing press headlines, as well as influencing government policy. The demands being placed on available energy resources continue to rise, and the associated costs keep on spiralling upwards. This whitepaper explores how better implementation of power factor correction (PFC) will enable dramatic improvements in efficiency to be realised. It also discusses the next generation of PFC controller ICs that are emerging to support such endeavours.
