content: Gigabit Ethernet peripheral is pretty common to see, since it is just easier to have one IP. It also integrates 10M PHY, which matches its realistic performance.The chip is alright, but they have been out of stock for a very long time. It looks like they are sitting on a pile of those boards that are not moving because the chips are not available anyway, so they decided to help it a bit.

Plenty of stuff to look at and some sample stuff, such as (from memory) a bare board LED "torch" which demonstrated someone's PCB services, a Wago demo terminal block and some old issues of Silicon Chip. Don't expect to take home armfuls of useful kit.What you will encounter is everyone keen to get your contact details, especially if you ask questions about their products. Electronex is all about introducing people who have a part to play in selecting products and services with those who provide them.It's rather interesting to see what is on show.

RetrotechUK reflects its facelift and enlarged scope.https://www.retrotechuk.com/Run by the British Vintage Wireless Society, it has been a regular event on my calendar for 12 years or more.It's a great day out for bargain hunters, with lots of other local things to do (castles, gardens etc) for partners who don't enjoy dusty tech.There's pretty much everything vintage there, at reasonable prices. Audio, TV, Radio, Valves, Telephones, Vinyl, Record Players, Tape Recorders, Test Equipment, Vintage computers.The Event Centre is out of town near Leamington Spa, close to M40 jns 12 and 13, and has a large free car-park right by the door.I usually help out on the huge Bring & Buy stall, which raises funds for the Vintage Wireless and TV Museum in London (https://bvwm.org.uk/), so do say hi if you are passing.I hope to see some EEVBloggers there!-Jeremy

WEBINAR:"POWER ELECTRONICS INVENTIONS:HOW TO DO IT !?!"by Professor Slobodan Ćuk - Page 1

content: FREE NOVEMBER 6 2021 WEBINAR ANNOUNCEMENT!Professor Ćuk on How to Invent/Not Invent in Power Electronics!?!Ever since immigrating to the United States on Feb 29,1972 and getting into Power Electronics I developed a very critical view of Electrical Power Conversion Systems! All the time since then I was asked to explain how I was coming up with my Power Electronics inventions. This Webinar is an answer to this request with HOW TO INVENT IN POWER ELECTRONICS. Unfortunately, as Power Electronics proceeded in the wrong direction all along, this Webinar will also address a companion HOW NOT TO INVENT!To meet the primary goals of efficiency and scaling and related goals of minimum size and cost, I have postulated that the Power Systems must use the minimum number of components. At that time, it was switches, inductors, and transformers only, as capacitors were used as an added filtering component on output only. On April 1, 1975, I added another component: the capacitor inside the converter to use as energy storage and power transfer component. Hence the Optimum Topology Converter now known as Ćuk converter was born! It reduced four switches to only two and in addition enabled an ideal AC transformer with no additional switches! The guiding idea was that two complementary components, inductor and transformer could transfer power more efficiently and with smaller size than a single inductive energy transfer component! As shown now, filtering inductors of previous basic converters, such as buck, boost, flyback and forward converter with their inevitable DC current bias and resultant air gaps have led to the dramatic limitation of the DC current and power that these converters could handle. This, in turn, led to 100-fold increase in switching frequencies to 1 MHz and more but without any size advantages and yet with much increased losses!Unfortunately, the Power Electronics industry followed not only this losing path in an attempt to fix the above brute-force DC to DC PWM converter topologies but has gone into an even worse direction of treating switching converters as a signal processing IC technology: more switches, the better it is! This led to proliferation of useless converter topologies such as Switched Tank Capacitors (STC) with many more capacitors and inductors with DC bias and no galvanic isolation capability. The other losing direction was using a multistage buck-converter with 12 buck converters in parallel even though I have shown that a single buck converter alone is bad let alone 12 of them!TWO DRAMATICALLY OPPOSING CONCEPTS:DO LOT MORE WITH FEWEST NUMBER OF COMPONENTS vsDO LOT LESS WITH LOT MORE COMPONENTS!Webinar registration:https://bit.ly/TESLAco4Interactive on-line course information and registration athttps://www.onlinecourses.teslaco.comhttps://teslaco.com/Professor Slobodan Ćuk

That said, the organizers have done a great job to put together some virtual events over the typical event weekend. It's happening right now (May 20-22), check out the event detailshere.If you've ever been to the show you know that we typically have a booth with some special event pricing on test gear like scopes and spectrum analyzers. With the show happening virtually this year, we wanted to offer some virtual show specials to go along with it.We have two great specials running right now -check them out here

If you read the topics area and you have some creative ideas that you think should be considered (or you know of some folks who do and can pass it on), then great. I have no affiliation with the challenge.If you have no interest in it, that's ok also. If you are all upset about it and you are a US taxpayer, by all means, write your congressperson and senators and express your complaints.I have some strong opinions on the matter and have voiced them before. That is not the intention here and I, for one, do not want to see a fairly straight forward thread degenerate into a forum for anti-maskers, or pro-maskers for that matter.

Lots of home-brew computers too. it all made for a great event that was also open to the public so was great to see them wandering around asking questions and getting hands on with the old tech.There was quite a lot of interest in the Paintbox, in the end i decided to take the older Harriet system but i did miss the extra speed my paintbox express has. It was still a nice setup TBH with a video camera and a video printer so i could take video clips, render animation and make prints. I was surprised how many people had heard of Paintbox, though most didn't know what it actually did! So it was great to demo some of it's features and explain why they were so popular in broadcast tv.Keep an eye out on thehttp://www.computinghistory.org.ukwebsite as they expect to run more events like this

content: Hi Folks,Just a heads-up - we're offering a free webinar on power integrity.When: Aug 15 2019 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM (EDT)Where (register):https://marketing.testforce.com/acton/form/35013/001f:d-001e/0/-/-/-/-/index.htmWho: Joel WoodwardIf you have designs with FPGAs, ASICs, DRAMs, etc in it, you've probably found yourself measuring power rails. The tolerances on them are becoming tighter and tighter making them tougher and tougher to measure. Joel will show and compare multiple different techniques that are commonly used for measuring power rails (10x passive probe, 1x passive probe, DC block, 50Ohm pig tail, dedicated power rail probe, etc). Should be super insightful if you've ever struggled making those measurements. A little background on Joel - I worked with him at HPAK for years. He was the product planner on the Infiniium S-Series, InfiniiVision 7000 and is a guru in Power Integrity. He's currently the lead product planner for Rohde & Schwarz scopes.Joel is presenting this for our partner, Testforce.Let me know if you have any questions.-Rich
