Since all the devices can’t obtain the attention of the processor at all times, the concept of “Interrupts” comes in to picture. An Interrupt, as the name suggests, interrupts the microcontroller from whatever it is doing and draws its attention to perform a special task. The following image depicts the procedure involved in Interrupts. In the event of an interrupt, the source of the interrupt (like a Timer, Counter etc....

Introduction In a broad sense, an Application Specific Integrated Circuit or simply an ASIC can be defined as an integrated circuit customized for a particular application or end-use rather than using it for general purpose. Some basic examples of ASICs are the IC in a DVD Player to decode the information on an optical disc or an IC designed as a Charge Controller for Lithium Ion batteries. ASICs are quite different from other standard ICs like Microprocessors or Memories as these are designed to be used in a wide range of applications....

Opening and closing of doors have been always a tedious and boring job, especially in places where a person is always required to open the door for visitors such as hotels, shopping malls, theaters, etc. Automatic door opening systems are used in many places like shopping malls, bur or railway stations, airports, etc. to eliminate manual control of opening and closing the doors. Automatic door opening systems can be implemented using different sensors like Infrared, pressure, ultrasonic, laser etc....

We often forget to switch off lights or fans when we leave a room. By using this system, we can intentionally forget about the lights as the system will automatically take care of them. The digital World we are living in allows us to use different technologies to automatically perform certain tasks. Such automation is very useful in certain areas like energy consumption, reducing human efforts, improving standard of living etc....

Introduction From an Electronics Engineer’s perspective, a Sensor is a device that is used to gather information about a physical process or a physical phenomenon and translate it into electrical signals that can be processed, measured and analysed. The term physical process used in the above definition of a Sensor can be any real-world information like temperature, pressure, light, sound, motion, position, flow, humidity, radiation etc. A Sensor Network is a structure consisting of sensors, computational units and communication elements for the purpose of recording, observing and reacting to an event or a phenomenon....

In this guide, we will make an epic Battery vs Generator Backup comparison. We will see the basics of both these systems, analyze their components, advantages, and disadvantages. After that, we will find the differences between the battery backup system and generator backup system. And finally, we will give some suggestions on choosing the right type of backup for your needs. What is Backup Power? Backup power refers to a secondary power source that can be used to provide electricity in the event that the primary power source fails or becomes unavailable....

To ensure full connectivity, PG2401 PT provides DVI-D, HDMI, or DisplayPort, while Mac users can utilize a Mini DisplayPort to connect with the displays. For fast transferring of heavy files, you can also make use of USB 3.0 connectivity. The 24.1” 1920 x 1200 resolution Monitors are ergonomically designed and as seen in the images, the stand allows easy rotation in landscape mode and portrait mode. The monitor is also equipped with a shading hood to eliminate the glare effect due to Ambient light, which can be a huge advantage while color proofing....

One of the main reasons people look for iPhone Manager Software is if they are upgrading their iPhone with a new model and want to transfer all the data from their old iPhones. This data includes contacts, messages, call logs, music, photos, etc. Even if you are not upgrading your iPhone, you can still use the iPhone Manager Software to back up the phone’s data and files to a Mac or Windows system so that you can use that data whenever required....

CPU: The most important parameter for any laptop is its CPU. Without a powerful and fast CPU, you will find it very difficult to use the laptop for even the most basic applications. Therefore, the very first thing that you should check on a laptop is its CPU. Right now, you will find tons of choices from both Intel as well as AMD for a laptop CPU, all of which offer pretty good performance and compatibility with a wide range of use....

Moreover, you can find out if it is going to be windy, the air quality as well as any dangerous weather approaching such as a storm. In fact, you can get regular updates and alerts from weather apps, and you can check the weather of any region, especially when you are traveling and going on a vacation. Here are the top 10 best weather apps for iPhone you can pick from....

Considering some essential factors, you must decide which speaker will work out for your stereo or home theater. This guide will go into the pros and cons: of properties and your habitat. Let’s move into it without any further ado. What Is a Bookshelf Speaker? Bookshelf speakers are commonly known as desktop speakers. They are compatible with shelves, stands, or any elevated space. They cannot be placed on the floor directly as they are not supportive enough to make it alone without any support or elevated place....

When talking about simple DC Motors in Microcontroller based system, there are only three tasks we can do: rotate the motor in forward direction, rotate the motor in reverse direction and control the speed of rotation. In this project, we will interface a simple DC Motor with ARM7 based MCU i.e. LPC2148. Here, we will simply change the direction of the rotation of the motor using a Motor Driver IC (L293D)....

Here V1 and V2 are the two input signals of the Differential amplifier and Vo is the single ended output of Differential amplifier. In an ideal differential amplifier the output voltage Vo is proportional to the difference between two input voltages. Vo ∝ (V1 – V2) Vo = Ad (V1 – V2) Differential Gain Ad: Differential gain is the gain with which amplifier amplifies the difference between two input signals....

However, another reason that might cause a slowdown is Thermal Throttling. This could impact both CPUs and GPUs and significantly reduce the overall performance of the system. As a result, you might even be unable to launch certain applications like video games or rendering software. In this guide, we will be looking in detail at Thermal Throttling and how you can prevent it. What is Thermal Throttling? When the GPU starts emitting heat at a level which the cooling system cannot handle, the memory and core frequencies of the GPU are reduced to lower the heat emission....

A Brief Note on ATtiny85 The ATtiny85 Microcontroller is possibly the smallest Microcontrollers available today. It is an 8-bit Microcontroller based on the AVR RISC Architecture. Physically, it needs only 8-pins for complete operation (although some packages like QFN16 use 16-pins just for packaging). There are three variants of ATtiny85: ATtiny25, ATtiny45 and ATtiny85. The main difference between these three ICs is the amount of memory each device has (Flash, EEPROM and RAM)....
