Imperial College is developing an implantable passive blood pressure monitor based around a SAW (surface acoustic wave) oscillator. “In essence, it is an oscillator that you can ping from the outside ...

LED drivers that receive their power from a single cell are receiving a great deal of attention. To generate the high voltage for illuminating a white LED from a low-voltage power supply basically ...

[Scott Harden] has been working through a design for a variable inductor to use as a PTO, or permeability tuned oscillator. What you see above is the most recent fruit of these efforts. The variable ...

The sub-millimeter cube, which measures temperature, merges CMOS and piezo for power, and there's an ultrasound link. How an ultra-tiny, injectable energy-harvesting, temperature-sensing, and ...

This Design Idea employs the Microchip PIC10F222 single-chip microcontroller. You program this microcontroller’s internal memory using the MCLR pin. As the title, “Use the MCLR pin as an output with ...

Figure 1: Superconducting qubit–oscillator circuit. Figure 3: Selection rules and transmission spectrum around the symmetry point. In conclusion, we have experimentally achieved deep strong coupling ...

The IDT3C02 generates frequencies on chip without relying on a piezoelectric or mechanical resonator. Built on a standard cmos process, the device uses a programmable architecture and supports ...
