Fwd: What Is Electronics? - Build Your Own Microcontroller - Impedance Matching - Oscillators & Timers


Newsletter #133
 
 

SO, EXACTLY WHAT IS ELECTRONICS?

 

Given the evolution of components to microcontrollers in the electronics field over the past few years, exactly how do you define electronics today? Does it have to include a soldering iron? Does programming DSP chips and other keyboard activity qualify? Where do you see electronics going in, say, 10 years?

 
 

BUILDING YOUR OWN MICROCONTROLLER

 

Ever wanna make your own MCU? Then, follow along with this discussion that can be useful for anyone wanting to learn about computing basics, microcontrollers, embedded programming, and/or VHDL. We will utilize the Zilog Z8 Encore! (a.k.a., eZ8). It's an eight-bit microcontroller core with a simple — yet powerful — instruction set and a very nice on-chip debugger.

 

R&S®RTB2000
Digital Oscilloscope –

More Than Just an Oscilloscope

The R&S®RTB2000 Oscilloscope is the perfect tool for design debugging. Get 10-bit ADC, 10 Msample memory, and 10.1" touchscreen plus a smart user interface. It's the Power of 10 at an unexpected price.

IMPEDANCE MATCHING

 

When RF energy travels in a transmission line and encounters a load or different type of line, the resulting reflections create standing waves of voltage and current, just as water waves do when they encounter an obstruction. This can create problems with digital signals and can result in extra losses. However, there are several techniques for dealing with these reflections.

Understanding And Designing With The Ever-Useful CMOS Timer:

 

Not as commonplace as the operational amplifier, the integrated circuit CMOS timer — such as the ICM7555 and TLC555 — has nonetheless found a secure niche in electronics. Why is this?
