Corning ships first photovoltaic glass substrates

(EDN Asia, 10 Feb 2012)
CORNING has announced the successful commercialisation of its photovoltaic glass substrates after three years of development work. The glass manufacturer says it is now shipping out its first commercial ....
 

What are tandem encoders and how do they work?

(EDN Asia, 10 Feb 2012)
The term ‘tandem encoder’ refers to an encoder with at least two measurement axes but only one power input and one data output. In other words, two physically independent encoders but with a single electrical ....
 

Back-EMF method detects stepper-motor stall

(EDN Asia, 10 Feb 2012)
Stepper motors find use in many automotive applications, including headlight leveling; adaptive headlamps, in which the headlamps turn right or left with the steering wheel; EGR (exhaust-gas-recirculation) ....
 

Moore's Law and mathematics

(EDN Asia, 9 Feb 2012)
What do iPhones, Twitter, Netflix, cleaner cities, safer cars, state-of-the-art environmental management and modern medical diagnostics have in common? They are all made possible by Moore’s Law. Moore’s ....
 

Simple circuit tests twisted-pair cables

(EDN Asia, 8 Feb 2012)
Using the system shown in Figure 1, a cable containing twisted-wire pairs and detect open or reversed pairs, shorted pairs, and shorts between unrelated pairs can be tested. The tester consists of an ....
 

Use a photoelectric-FET optocoupler as a linear voltage-controlled potentiometer

(EDN Asia, 7 Feb 2012)
A photoelectric FET can be used as a variable resistor or potentiometer in combination with a fixed resistor. The H11F3M photoelectric FET has an isolation voltage of 7.5kV to safely control high voltage ....
 

Designing with IC temperature sensors

(EDN Asia, 7 Feb 2012)
Previous columns examined thermistors, RTDs (resistance-temperature detectors), and thermocouple temperature sensors. The integrated temperature sensors on the market can also solve temperature woes (Figure ....
 

Powering a high-speed ADC via a switching regulator

(EDN Asia, 3 Feb 2012)
Power consumption is among the most important system-design parameters for designers choosing high-speed data converters. Power dissipation is critical whether in portable designs requiring longer battery ....
 

Improving the efficiency of electric vehicle motors

(EDN Asia, 3 Feb 2012)
SIEMENS is seeking to improve the efficiency of electric motors to increase the range of electric cars. The company is currently engaged in two projects, Plug&Play Range Extender, and PELiKAn. Plug&Play ....
 

Noise wars: Projected capacitance strikes back against internal noise

(EDN Asia, 2 Feb 2012)
Today’s users expect multitouch systems to perform with precision and still comply with demanding environmental standards. Designers face no small feat in meeting these requirements. With a rapidly changing ....
