What is MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) and How To Calculate It?
MTBF as a Failure Time Frequency Prediction Criteria From play gadgets to professional machines, it is relevant for the product sellers as well as regulatory authorities and consumers to know the probability of failures expected in the lifetime of the device. In electronics, one metric often used to estimate device performance over its lifetime is […]
All about LiDAR Technology – Complete Guide
LiDAR or Light Detection And Ranging is an optical remote-sensing technique that makes use of laser to sample Earth’s surface. Highly accurate point cloud datasets are produced by LiDAR that can be visualized and analyzed using CAD tools (for example ArcGIS). Terms and Definitions Field of View (FoV) Field of View is the angular range in which […]
How to Choose the Right Flash Memory for your Embedded Application.
History of Flash Memory Masuoka Fujio, a Japanese engineer at the time working for Toshiba Corporation, devised flash memory in the early 1980s as a way to replace current data storage mediums such as magnetic tapes and floppy discs. Ariizumi Shoji, a Masuoka co-worker, developed the term flash after comparing the method of memory erasure, […]

Ceramic Capacitors – Which Aspects to Consider When Using Them In Your Design?
Ceramic Capacitors or multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC) are the most commonly used type of capacitors now a days. This fame can be attributed to their low cost and small size. But there are other factors that are important to consider when you choose capacitors in your circuit design. The most important ones are listed below. CV […]
How to Control DC Servo Motors?
Types of Controls for DC Servo Motors A DC servo motor is a type of DC motor that provides fast precision position control for closed-loop position control applications. Closed-loop position control simply means a system with real-time feedback. It works on a so-called “servo-mechanism” that uses position feedback to control the speed and final position […]
Your Ultimate Guide to Designing Analog Filters
What is an Analog Circuit? In contrast to a digital circuit, which requires a signal to be one of two discrete levels, an Analog circuit uses a continuous, variable signal that is called an Analog signal. Changes in current, voltage, or frequency can be used to communicate information in Analog circuits. Resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, […]
