DIY Piezoelectric Trigger Switch Circuit

DIY Piezoelectric Trigger Switch Circuit

The piezoelectric trigger switch circuit described here is a microcontroller-compatible impact sensor switch module operating on a 5V DC power supply. The entire circuit can be assembled on a standard 5×7 cm circuit board. The piezoelectric ceramic element (Pz1) can also be easily mounted on the PCB. This module provides a “logic” (H) output when … Read more

Using Wire to Create a Circuit Board: An Innovative Approach

Using Wire to Create a Circuit Board: An Innovative Approach

PCB Network News Sharing an interesting piece of information: using wire to create a “circuit board”. I hope it inspires colleagues in the industry. What is Freeduino? It is an Arduino UNO board without any circuit board. It interconnects components using a technique called freeform, utilizing wires or copper instead of a circuit board. It … Read more

An Unsuccessful Isolated DAC Design

An Unsuccessful Isolated DAC Design

A design is needed for an isolated circuit that outputs a variable voltage of 0~12V, with the isolated side powered by 12V. There are no specific speed requirements for the output voltage. The accuracy is not particularly critical, as it just needs to stabilize once set. The design uses an optocoupler driven by the PWM … Read more

How to Select the Pull-Up Resistor Value for I2C?

How to Select the Pull-Up Resistor Value for I2C?

I2C is a common serial communication interface, which is available on most processors. The I2C interface is an open-drain structure, so pull-up resistors are needed in the design to drive the high level. As shown below: Rp is the pull-up resistor, and the dashed box contains the internal I2C controller structure of the chip (for … Read more
