Tips to Extend Life Of Solar SMF Battery

Off-grid photo voltaic solar power equipment require a battery to store the energy accumulated during sunny hours for use at night. In most applications lead acid batteries are proffered as these are maintenance-free and do not emitany harmful gas while charging.

How to Increase TDA2030 Amplifier Gain

TDA 2030 is a widely used 14W audio power amplifier monolithic integrated circuit in Pentawatt [ package, intended for use as a low frequency class AB amplifier. However some home theater prototype came with

TDA2030 design has a problem of low volume. There are two ways to increase the speaker volume that uses TDA 2030A design. 

How to Identify Failed Capacitor on Circuit Boards

This post will give a little bit of idea, how to identify a leaked / Bad capacitor that soldered on a circuit board by visual inspection. This might help you in checking capacitor problems on motherboards and other circuit boards.

The most common method of identifying a failed electrolytic capacitor is by visual inspection. Because we cant desolder all the capacitors and test it using multimeter right? So the below symptoms may be expected to inspect on the electrolytic capacitors within the board.

USB Types And Pin Diagrams

We may usually  noted that some USB cable ports from motherboard have different pin outs. Connecting unsuitable cables to these types might cause  short circuit the PC power supply. So here is the pin assignment of each type, USB2, USB3 & USB4 as headers. These headers are used to connect auxiliary devices to the main board. The headers are directional and will only allow USB cables to be connected in one direction. Checkout the Image below

35 Tips to Design a Reliable PCB

Printed circuit boards are essential to professionally design any electronic system. It is often happens that a circuit which functions well over a breadboard may not work properly when implemented on a PCB. This leads to complexity over circuit and system engineers need to be spend at least 2-3 days to rectify the problems. 

Pin Details of SD, miniSD & micro SD Cards

Secure Digital (SD) Cards are digital removable flash memory cards commonly used in cell phones, digital camera , hand held GPS devices and portable media players an so on. There are three types of SD cards available depending on its size.
