STMicroelectronics introduces the STV0288 its TM latest DVB and DIRECTV QPSK digital receiver, which adds blind scan capability and DiSEqC 2. 0 to the industry-leading STV0299 and provides a cost reduction path or new products. By STMicroelectronics .. -
The TRF1115 is the first of two ASICs used in the receiver section of Texas Instruments MMDS/MDS/WCS/802. 16x chipset. The TRF1115 down-converts the input frequency to an IF frequency in the range of 420 MHz to 480 MHz. The device provides a differential.... -
The XC61H series is a highly accurate, low power consumption CMOS voltage detector with a delay circuit. Detect voltage is accurate with minimal temperature drift. Output configurations are available in both CMOS and N-channel open drain. Since the full.... -
The HT70XX series is a set of three-terminal low power Voltage Detectors implemented in CMOS technology. Each Voltage Detector in the series detects a particular fixed voltage ranging from 2. 2V to 7V. The Voltage Detectors consist of a high-precision and.... -
The detector is intended to sense and signal to another circuit that an appliance is connected to the mains voltage. For this purpose, an optocoupler, IC1.... -
Tools that features equivalent of a professional, easy to use, cheaper, and more importantly, safe for use. For checking to find AC 220 Volt or 120V or call.... -
To check the peak voltage of the signal to change at any time. Measuring with a multimeter will not do it. We recommend this circuit. It may help you. In this circuit is used with a positive signal input, when has negative feedback only. And the inverting.... -
This be simple check pressure level circuit, with integrated number circuit TL431. When use power supply 5Volt in digital circuit. The general feeding signal.... -
This circuit uses a 1458 dual op-amp to form a radar detector. C1 is the detector of the radar signal. The first op-amp forms a current-to-voltage converter and the second op-amp buffers the output to drive the piezo transducer. R5 sets the switching.... -
Here`s a simple lie detector that can be built in a few minutes, but can be incredibly useful when you want to know if someone is really telling you the truth. It is not as sophisticated as the ones the professionals use, but it works. It works by measuring....
