One I missed: nice LDO with reverse blocking, good input range, and more
TPS7B7701-Q1, and the dual version TPS7B7702-Q1, are a pair of low-drop regulators with reverse current blocking and a wide input voltage range – that I singularly failed to notice when they were released in 2015. Reverse blocking is useful if a load needs to be supplied from an input with short interruptions in supply – …

In need of 12A… well, 8A will do… and what is this about compasses?
Having been asked to demonstrate the magnetic field around a straight wire, I slipped happily into the workshop with my ancient Silva compass, only discover that the needle hardly moved with 2A through the wire. I phoned a friend – and expert in school demonstrations. Anyway, the friend said: 8A is what they use, and …

Snow Power
In December the Japanese city of Aomori will run a four month test on the viability of a system for generating electricity from snow. The system was developed by Koji Enoki (pictured) an associate professor at Tokyo’s University of Electro-Communications. Estimates show that it can produce electricity as efficiently as solar power. The snow is …
