Power Highlights from EDN's PowerSource Blog by Margery Connor
One of the planes demo’d at the Green Paris Air Show in June was the single-seat four-motor electric Cri-Cri, built by EADs, the parent company of Airbus. The company claims the plane will fly for 30 minutes at 110 kph and is aerobatic-rated.
Last week adafruit’s website was speculating that Apple’s rechagable batteries were Sanyo’s Eneloop brand re-labeled with that Apple cachet that people are so willing to pay a premium for. Now Engadget is reporting on a Czech site that did a teardown of the battery, looking for tell-tale Sanyo labels.
A list of devices running Power-over-Ethernet (POE) usually comprises low-power applications such as VoIP phones and video cameras. If you need computer access, most likely you’d be limited to a terminal-only device because of the low-power requirements of POE.
Analog Highlights from EDN's Anablog Blog by Paul Rako
NASA Tech Briefs had a great article about Series-Connected Buck Boost Regulators back in 2005. Good analog is good for decades, so I wanted to bring your attention to the article after my power guru pal Jon Dutra noted the article as he was reading over my shoulder at the local pizza joint.
Well, after pining for electric vehicles for a decade, the American people seem to be getting the fact that the reality of electric vehicles does not quite match the hype. The New York Times weighs in with an article titled “G.M.’s Electric Lemon”.
The indomitable David Rodewald dropped me note that Semtec and Microchip have joined forces to design and offer a remote control reference design. The system allows for code-hopping encryption, so this is a pretty secure and reliable way to get your garage door open. Max power is 17dBm.
