It should be no surprise to many that one can use a Raspbery Pi SBC as an industrial controller, but is it any good at that? That was the question which [Dough Reneker] and [William Shaffer] built a ...

The NX5P1000 is an advanced power switch and ESD- protection device for USB OTG applications. The device includes under voltage and over voltage lockout, over-current, over-temperature, reverse bias ...

Academics have developed a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm for PV systems that combines incremental conductance with fuzzy logic control. The inputs used are the sum of conductance and ...

Researchers in the Middle East have developed a fuzzy logic controller that simultaneously optimizes the tilt angle of PV systems and performs maximum power point tracking (MPPT). Year-long ...

While it is tempting to write RTL and let the synthesis tool take over, this isn’t the best way to get the results we want. In this article, we’ll learn how to create complex combinatorial code in ...
