A Schmitt trigger is a circuit that converts slow or noisy inputs into clean digital signals using two switching thresholds. This guide explains hysteresis, op-amp and transistor designs, equations, real 74HC14, CD40106B, and 555 timer examples, and common design mistakes.
This article explains what is a PLC, what's inside it, how the scan cycle works, which programming languages the current IEC standard defines, and how to choose the right controller for your application.
Researchers at ETH Zurich have, for the first time, created certifiably perfect random numbers using a quantum experiment. These can be used, for instance, for encrypting messages.
A critical flaw in random number generators puts the security of billions of low-cost IoT devices at risk. This means a new approach for generating random numbers is needed, which can be found in extracting entropy from SRAM behaviour.
