Let’s understand in detail what are the difference between Microprocessor and Microcontroller. Microprocessors and microcontrollers are both essential components in the field of electronics and computing, but they serve different purposes and have distinct architectures and applications. Here are the key differences between them: What is Microprocessor? A microprocessor is a central processing unit (CPU) […]
Among the various types of transistors, the Junction Field Effect Transistors in short JFETs holds a distinctive place due to its unique operational characteristics and versatile applications. What is a JFET? A Junction Field Effect Transistor (JFET) is a type of field-effect transistor (FET) that utilizes an electric field to control the flow of current. Unlike […]
Potentiometers are electrical component used to measure or adjust voltage or current, it usually consists of a rotary or sliding adjusting device, and three electrical contacts, one of which is connected to the power supply, the other is grounded, and the third can be moved on the adjusting device of the potentiometer, which can be […]
This article describes a sensor-less BLDC motor driver circuit using 555 timer and DRV10866 motor driver IC, suitable for driving small 5V BLDC fans without position sensors. The rise in the use of brushless DC motors (BLDCs) is driven by their efficiency, durability, and precision. However, controlling these motors typically requires rotor position information to […]
The Controller Area Network in short CAN Bus Communication Protocol has a fascinating history. It was developed by Robert Bosch GmbH in the 1980s to address the need for a robust serial communication protocol for in-vehicle networks. It is widely used communication protocol in automotive and industrial applications. History of Can bus Protocol: Here’s a […]
