When using a fan or blower to circulate air within a space, there may be objectives such as wanting to direct wind locally or wanting to flow air throughout the entire space. However, if the placement of the fan is done solely based on intuition, it may not achieve those objectives. Therefore, this time, we will introduce the importance of not only the outlet side of the fan but also the inlet side when using a fan or blower to circulate or ventilate air inside a room or electronic devices. For more details, please refer to the related products and catalog below.

At WTI, we offer thermal design services that include predicting component temperatures and proposing heat dissipation measures, among which ventilation is one of the effective strategies. In today's life, the importance of ventilation in offices and rooms is increasing, and the fundamental concept of ventilation for electronic devices is the same as that for room ventilation. Therefore, this time we will introduce methods to ensure the entry and exit points for airflow during ventilation. For more details, please refer to the related products and catalogs below.

At WTI, we conduct design and development tailored to our customers' needs, but this time I will talk about principle verification.

For more details, please refer to the related products and catalogs below.

In Spice simulation, it is common to use models provided by manufacturers or models extracted from actual measurements. However, as the scale becomes too large, issues may arise such as slow analysis speeds or errors that prevent operation. This can lead to situations where you only want to confirm trends, but end up spending more time investigating the manufacturer models because they won't run. This time, I would like to talk about "behavioral models," which can be used when you want to grasp trends simply in circuit simulation. For more details, please refer to the related products and catalogs below.

In the case of a 920MHz low-power wireless module, which has a relatively long communication range and a reasonably fast communication speed, the transmission output is limited to 20mW or less. A line-of-sight distance of about 5 km is possible. However, in practice, it is often the case that the range only reaches a few hundred meters. This document explains the factors that can reduce communication distance. For more details, please refer to the related products and catalogs below.

Following Shirutoku No. 79, this is the second installment of measures to improve communication distance. In the previous issue, we introduced how reviewing the installation height of antennas in relation to the Fresnel zone can extend communication distance.

The term "IoT" has permeated our lives to such an extent that there is no need to reiterate its definition. There are many inexpensive gadgets available on the market that can be developed simply by connecting them to a PC, even without a special development environment, making it easy to create IoT devices as part of summer vacation projects. While IoT devices have become so easy to develop, what challenges arise when it comes to commercialization and productization? We will introduce the essential embedded technologies for IoT development. For more details, please refer to the related products and catalogs below.

I am engaged in power circuit design and see a wide variety of power supplies every day. There are various control methods for power supplies, but the two types that are commonly seen are: (1) Constant voltage power supplies that are controlled to maintain a constant voltage value. (2) Constant current power supplies that are controlled to maintain a constant current value. This time, I would like to talk about (2) constant current power supplies. For more details, please refer to the related products and catalogs below.

In digital circuits, there are circuits that are synchronized to a clock (synchronous circuits) and those that are not (asynchronous circuits). The flip-flops (FF) used in synchronous circuits have timing specifications such as setup time (tSU) and hold time (tH) established as requirements for stable operation between the clock and input signals. This time, we will explain the handling of asynchronous input signals, which require caution in digital circuit design such as with FPGAs. For more details, please refer to the related products and catalogs below.

We are engaged in the development of chargers for Li-ion batteries. In addition to the Li-ion battery, the charger is connected to an inverter as part of the entire system, so it is required to have resistance to the noise voltage generated by these components. This time, I will discuss the resistance of this charger to the noise voltage applied externally to its output terminals. For more details, please refer to the related products and catalog below.

LED lighting is now used in various places, such as home lighting, streetlights, and display backlights. When using LEDs for lighting, it is often necessary to drive multiple units simultaneously to meet brightness specifications, and in such cases, the question arises as to how to combine and connect them in series and parallel. Are you aware of the characteristics that differ based on the connection methods? I would like to explain the advantages and disadvantages of connecting LEDs in series and parallel. For more details, please refer to the related products and catalogs below.

As indicators of the performance of high-frequency amplifiers, there are output power, gain, efficiency, and so on, and development is progressing to meet the required performance for each. However, aside from these performance metrics, there is an important issue to be mindful of in high-frequency amplifier development: "not oscillating." This document explains that countermeasures against oscillation are also crucial in high-frequency amplifier development. Please take a moment to read it.

There are points to be cautious about in terms of both the work involved in "modification" and the design considerations. For more details, please refer to the related products and catalogs below.

In this document, I would like to talk about audio design (high sound quality). Recently, we haven't heard the term Hi-Fi (high fidelity, high reproducibility) as much, have we? It might be that we stopped using it because Wi-Fi has become so common and confusing... Or is it because high-resolution audio has become the name for high sound quality instead of Hi-Fi? You can find more details in the related products and catalog below.
