A Blog about Technology, gadgets and other things. Wednesday, April 10, 2013. Interesting Tutorial on how your 4.7uF Capacitor can become a 0.33uF Capacitor. I just read an incredible article by Mark Fortunato of Maxim Integrated. For any of you hardware engineers or applications engineers out there, this is a very useful and interesting read about how your 4.7uF capacitor can behave like a 0.33uF capacitor at 85C, which of course is exactly what you don't want to do.

A Blog about Technology, gadgets and other things. Wednesday, September 5, 2012. My latest gadget arrived on my desk yesterday. I haven't had a chance to turn it on yet. It features a 10/100 Ethernet port, 2 USB ports, 1 HDMI port, 1 RCA port, 1 3.5mm audio jack, SD Card slot for the OS, 1 micro USB connector for power and a number of other not so obvious connectors. I've looked through the. With regards what I'm going to do with it, I have a few ideas, most of which are robbed from everyone.

A Blog about Technology, gadgets and other things. Friday, June 12, 2015. I've been meaning to write an article regarding Radionics' Schematic Capture and PCB Layout tool: Designspark. The schematic capture is straight forward enough. Select a component from the add component button (conveniently shaped like a transistor) and you can access all your component libraries. This is a standard autorouter, there's nothing special about it. It can be handy for trying to get an idea of the routing difficulty...

A Blog about Technology, gadgets and other things. Friday, November 25, 2011. New Business selling SnowSocks, doing a Masters and everything else. I've been incredibly busy the last while. There's a small part of me thinking I might be stretching myself beyond what I can possibly handle. But I think I'm well able for all of it. Who says you can't start up a new business while working a full time job and doing a part time Masters at night in Electronic Design Engineering? Links to this post. Picture Windo...

A Blog about Technology, gadgets and other things. Sunday, September 1, 2013. Last year I spent a month in San Francisco's sunny Silicon Valley on a business trip. I was in charge of bringing up a number of boards straight off the manufacturing line. Unfortunately there were a few problems with the boards, which left us baffled for a few days until bubbling was mentioned. This is when I found out all about MSL (moisture sensitivity level).
