Linear actuators and oscillating systems constitute a vibrant area of research that bridges concepts in electromagnetism, mechanics and control engineering. These systems convert various forms of ...

Linear Technology has released a set of simple small timing ICs, including: a voltage-controlled oscillator, a low frequency oscillator, four pulse width modulated oscillators, four monostable pulse ...

SiTime has used MEMS instead of quartz crystals to make an oven-controlled oscillator with ±1ppb frequency stability and ±0.02ppb/°C frequency slope – all on a 9 x 7 footprint, including the oven. “No ...

Update: These are likely an iPhone 5 clone (with better vibrating motor). Note the smaller 1150 mAh battery and the (d’oh) SD card slot. The images above allegedly show a Foxconn assembly line in ...

This Design Idea avoids the RC charging waveshape of a standard relaxation oscillator, replacing it with a linear rise/fall triangle wave. Positive feedback is used to increase the charging rate over ...

[Paul] likes a precise oscillator. His recent video shows a crystal oscillator with a “watch crystal” and a CMOS counter, the CD4060. Using such a circuit can produce very stable frequencies and since ...

Diode Inc.’s 18-/12-channel linear LED drivers deliver precise digital color mixing and brightness control for vivid lighting ...

Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society, Vol. 132, No. 9 (Sep., 2004), pp. 2683-2691 (9 pages) In this paper we consider the following initial value problem: ...
