Nokia could launch entry level Windows Phone 7 5 handsets says report


Nokia's Lumia 900.

Nokia may offer entry-level Windows Phone 7.5 devices by year's end, according to DigiTimes.
Citing the usual "industry sources," DigiTimes said the new phones would be aimed at consumers in emerging markets, who are considered more price-sensitive.

The hardware requirements for Windows Phone 8 are stricter than those for its predecessor, demanding a dual-core processor and support for near-field communication (NFC). Those features would be difficult to add to more entry-level and mid-level phones, according to the sources, prompting the need for less pricey Windows Phone 7.5 devices.

0 30 Volt Laboratory Power Supply Project

Image
The linear power supply , shown in the schematic, provides 0-30 volts, at 1 amp, maximum, using a discrete transistor regulator with op-amp feedback to control the output voltage. The supply was constructed in 1975 and has a constant current mode that is used to recharge batteries.  With reference to the schematic, lamp, LP2, is a power-on indicator. The other lamp (lower) lights when the unit reaches its preset current limit. R5, C2, and Q10 (TO-3 case) operate as a capacitor multiplier. The 36 volt zener across C2 limits the maximum supply voltage to the op-amps supply pins. D5, C4, C5, R15, and R16 provide a small amount of negative supply for the op-amps so that the op-amps can operate down to zero volts at the output pins (pins 6).  A more modern design might eliminate these 4 components and use a CMOS rail-to-rail op-amp. Current limit is set by R3, D1, R4, R6, Q12, R10, and R13 providing a bias to U2 that partially turns off transistors Q9 and Q11 when the current limit...

125MHz Dev Board with an ARM Cortex M3

Image
The Simplecortex is a microcontroller development board that is shield compatible with the Arduino. The Simplecortex has a fast microcontroller, the LPC1769 from NXP. This is a ARM Cortex M3 microcontroller with 512KB flash, 64KB RAM and it runs at 120Mhz. To make sure that the Simplecortex is easy to use we made tutorials for almost every peripheral on the chip and examples to get you started. There are tutorials for simple stuff like IO control up to more advanced tutorials for MicroSD cards. If you have ideas for a new tutorial or made a tutorial yourself, feel free to drop an email or post it in the forum. The Simplecortex also has an onboard debugger. It can also be used to program external devices like a self made PCB for your own project. No more microcontrollers with pre-programmed bootloader needed.        [ ]

High Power Audio Amplifier 2800W Circuit Schematic Diagram

Image
Description Mono high power amplifier is actually a powerful 1400 W, but if this hihgh power amplifier circuit is doubled and you want to create stereo, high power amplifier the necessary components and pcb requires two-fold. So if the stereo high power amplifier 2 X 1400W. Schematic Circuit diagram is still less by looking at the circuit that was so below, the finished circuit has been added with a gains using JRC4558 IC by the two and the picture ic where it can be seen below. For circuit buffers, drivers , and booster use multiple transistors and other components (can be seen listed component ). And high power amplifier project that is so below is just part of the buffer and driver while the booster has not been made​​. For additional transistors in the booster or high power amplifier end scheme can be found Booster output power amplifier. Circuit Schematic Diagram : Part List : R1_____560Ω R2_____100Ω R3_____2K2Ω R4_____560Ω R5_____1Ω R6_____27KΩ R7_____10KΩ R8_____100Ω R9___...
