Converting Your Schematic to PCB Design Layout
Going from schematic to PCB design may not be as easy as you think. That is if you want your boards to be manufacturable.
Understanding How to Use Schottky Barrier Rectifiers
Rectification is an essential part of power conversion and regulation, and the principle component used in this application is a Schottky barrier rectifier. We’ll explore the basic usage of these components in this article.

Photoresistor Datasheet: Specifications for Light Dependent Resistors (LDR)
The simplest light-sensitive component you can possibly include in your design is a photoresistor. These simple devices switch between two resistive states once they receive input light from an external source.
TI Ultrasonic Sensor: MSP430 Series of Highly Integrated Microcontrollers
Position and motion sensing are often implemented with a simple ultrasonic sensor. These devices provide sensing at long ranges, but they need the right microcontroller with an integrated analog front-end. TI’s MSP430 platform includes ideal products that support ultrasonic sensing with an integrated analog front end and plenty of developer support.
