Definition of Current

i=dqdt, (1.2)
where
i=the current in amperes, q=the charge in coulombs, t=the time in seconds.

Equations 1.1 and 1.2 define the magnitude of voltage and current,
respectively. The bipolar nature of electric charge requires that we assign
polarity references to these variables.
current is made up of discrete moving electrons, we do not need to
consider them individually because of the enormous number of them. Rather,
we can think of electrons and their corresponding charge as one smoothly
flowing entity. Thus, i is treated as a continuous variable.
One advantage of using circuit models is that we can model a component
strictly in terms of the voltage and current at its terminals. Thus, two
physically different components could have the same relationship between
the terminal voltage and terminal current. If they do, for purposes of circuit
analysis, they are identical. Once we know how a component behaves at its
terminals, we can analyze its behavior in a circuit. However, when
developing component models, we are interested in a component’s internal
behavior. We might want to know, for example, whether charge conduction
is taking place because of free electrons moving through the crystal lattice
structure of a metal or whether it is because of electrons moving within the
covalent bonds of a semiconductor material. These concerns are beyond the
realm of circuit theory, so in this book we use component models that have
already been developed.

How to program 8051 based MCU using Ptroteous Schematic capture and Source code editor to use timers using AT892051 + project files

This tutorial is dedicated to use a 8051 based Microcontroller core and program it using keil's C51 tools on the Proteus Source code editor. 1- Brief History of 8051 one of the first microprocessors 4004 was invented by Intel Corporation as well as 8085 and 8086 microprocessors back in 1981,shortly after Intel introduced an 8-bit microcontroller called the 8051 . It was referred to as system on a chip because it had 128 bytes of RAM, 4K byte of on-chip ROM, two timers, one serial port, and 4 ports (8-bit wide), all on a single chip. When it became so widespread, Intel allowed other manufacturers to make and market different flavors of 8051 with its code compatible with 8051. It means that if you write your program for one flavor of 8051, it will run on other flavors too, regardless of the manufacturer. This has led to several versions with different speeds and amounts of on-chip RAM. 2- Features of AT892051 Microcontroller Compatible with MCS®-51Products 2K ...

What is the ESP32 VSPI / HSPI

The ESP32 integrates four SPI peripherals. SPI0 and SPI1 are used to access the ESP32’s attached flash memory and thus are currently not open to users to be used . They share one signal bus via an arbiter. SPI2 and SPI3 are general purpose SPI controllers, sometimes referred to as HSPI and VSPI, respectively. They are open for use. SPI2 and SPI3 have independent signal buses with the same respective names. Each bus has three CS lines to drive up to three SPI slaves.

Current Limiter Example Circuits and explained

The post explains 2 simple universal current controller circuits which can be used for safely operating any desired high watt LED. The universal high watt LED current limiter circuit explained here can be integrated with any crude DC supply source for getting an outstanding over current protection for the connected high watt LEDs. Why Current Limiting is Crucial for LEDs We know that LEDs are highly efficient devices which are able to produce dazzling illuminations at relatively lower consumption, however these devices are highly vulnerable especially to heat and current which are complementary parameters and affect an LED performance. Especially with high watt LEds which tend to generate considerable heat, the above parameters become crucial issues. If an LED is driven with higher current it will tend to get hot beyond tolerance and get destroyed, while conversely if the heat dissipation is not controlled the LED will start drawing more current until it gets destroyed. In ...
