An LDO regulator, or low-dropout regulator, is a DC linear voltage regulator that operates even when the voltage supply is extremely close to the output voltage. The main advantages of this regulator over DC-DC converters include smaller size, lower noise, and simpler design. This linear regulator operates efficiently even when the input and output voltages […] The post LM2940 IC : PinOut, Features, Specifications, Circuit, Working, Datasheet, Equivalents & Its Applications appeared first o...| WatElectronics.com
The automotive industry is transforming, with autonomous vehicles (AVs) at the forefront. These self-driving systems rely on sensors—such as LiDAR, radar, cameras, and ultrasonic devices—to perceive their environment. However, conventional sensors face limitations in poor weather, GPS-denied areas, or high-traffic scenarios. Enter quantum sensors —a revolutionary technology that leverages the principles of quantum mechanics to […] The post Quantum Sensors in Autonomous Cars : Working ...| WatElectronics.com
