Electrical Devices vs Electronic Devices—What’s the difference?
WEBJun 6, 2016 · Electronic Devices. In contrast, electronic devices do much more. Instead of just converting electrical energy into light, heat, or motion, electronic devices are designed to manipulate the electrical current in ways that adds meaningful information to the current. For example, an electronic toaster uses the same heating elements, springs, and ...
Throwback Tech: 20 Old Products Modern Technology Replaced
WEBDec 2, 2013 · 12. Rounded TV screens. Older TVs operated from photons being fired from a photon gun in the back of the TV, hitting the screen in such a way to produce color pictures. The screens were rounded to provide ample distance from the electron gun (cathode) and the screen. Newer flatscreen models do not use this technology.

Understanding the IEC 62368-1 standard for electronic equipment
WEBDec 20, 2021 · IEC 62368-1 now refers to a varistor as a possible ignition source, thus requiring additional tests. The varistor overload test (the Annex G.8 portion of the standard) is a stress test that progressively steps up the power in the varistor. The test uses an AC source to apply twice the equipment’s voltage rating through a resistor to the ...

The basics of USB battery charging: a survival guide
WEBJun 7, 2018 · The DS2710 charger switches at approximately 150 kHz and charges the battery at 1.1 A (about 0.5⁰C for a typical AA NiMH cell). The circuit gets more current into the battery (1.1 A) than it gets from the USB port (500 mA) because a step-down ratio converts 5 V at 500 mA to 1.5 V at 1.1 A at the battery.
