It may be beneficial to have an additional system power rail. Adding 5V produced by an efficient buck converter would allow for more efficient LDOs on the small boards.

by wildzzz 2y ago
LDOs are much smaller and don't produce noise like switch mode power supplies. It's true you will waste some power but that can be minimized by making the dropout voltage as small as possible.

You usually don't find I2C in the high end space-rated parts simply due to the added complexity of a simplex protocol but you see tons of single-ended SPI parts. You don't need diff pairs unless it's for high speed or long ca

You're adding more complexity to both the transmitter and receiver. I'd be pretty pissed if I had to endure unintelligible speech for a few minutes until the model was downloaded enough to be able to hear my friend. I'd also

My old Sirius portable receiver sounded like garbage despite the marketing material saying "Crystal Clear". My 2006 Infiniti Sirius receiver didn't sound any better despite being a massive space heater in the trunk. The late

If you are just using the RISC-V core alongside cores you've developed yourself or have licenses for, you're set. RISC-V ISA is provided. It has a very permissive, royalty-free license but you will need to become a paid member to

It's nice having an open ISA but companies go with ARM because the cores are already developed. There are RISC-V cores available for purchase too but they aren't up to the same level of performance yet.

My 2006 Infiniti had voice commands for calling people in your address book. Road noise trashed the microphone quality so it only really worked well when you were at a stop. Handsfree mics in cars still suck and Bluetooth handsfree audio qu

If you search a part number in Google and the only datasheet result is from an unpronounceable Chinese website, there's a very good chance it's not going to be on digikey. LCSC or AliExpress will be your only options. Even when de

They were probably selling it at a loss or at least not enough profit to have it stand on its own. It only works with Spotify premium accounts so they could easily see who bought one and upgraded their account to use it. I'm guessing t

It was a standard D-sub connector at one point in time, DA19P is going to be the first part of the real part number. Only issue is that no one makes this one anymore as the D-sub is pretty much abandoned by the consumer electronics industry

Sure but there's no incentive not to be hard on the powertrain. Probably less of a problem now with so much drive-by-wire preventing you from drag racing a Camry.

Why use a $20 Arduino when you could have just gotten a $1 custom PCB, $0.50 microcontroller, and a handful of jellybean parts to do the same job? Because one costs less in Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) than the other, you'd have to

I used Sublime as my npp replacement on Linux. It's a little more coding focused so it lacks some of the nice editing features but was good enough. Luckily npp is pre installed on my work PC so I don't use anything else now.
