Samsung Galaxy S5 confirmed for MWC

While rumours have started to swirl over whether or not Samsung will reveal their much-anticipated Galaxy S5 smartphone at Mobile World Congress later this month, the organizing committee has confirmed that they will indeed.

Samsung recently sent out invitations to Samsung Unpacked 5, to be held at Mobile World Congress, and an accompanying video hinted that visitors might get a glimpse of the device. While it wasn’t confirmed, Mobile World Live confirmed the rumours.

“Samsung is set to launch its Galaxy S5 smartphone at Mobile World Congress this month, having announced its Unpacked 5 event will be held in Barcelona. The company will hold an event on the evening of Monday 24 February, marking the first time it has unveiled a flagship device at the event since the Galaxy S2 in 2011,” they said.

Late last year several media houses pegged the reveal around March with a consumer launch in April, but Mobile World Live said that the date has been brought forward – for several reasons. “The launch has been brought forward due to lower than expected sales of the Galaxy S4. Bringing the new device to market more quickly will enable it to reinvigorate its performance after a tough Q4.”

They added that the S5 would be one of the most important releases for Samsung. “The new flagship is especially important for Samsung’s position in the high-end smartphone market, where growth is hard to find and competition is fierce. In this space, the company has lost some momentum following Apple’s latest iPhone update.”

Block diagram of AM transmitter and receiver with explanation

Block diagram of AM transmitter and receiver with explanation AM Transmitter : Transmitters that transmit AM signals are known as AM transmitters. These transmitters are used in medium wave (MW) and short wave (SW) frequency bands for AM broadcast. The MW band has frequencies between 550 KHz and 1650 KHz, and the SW band has frequencies ranging from 3 MHz to 30 MHz. The two types of AM transmitters that are used based on their transmitting powers are: · High Level · Low Level High level transmitters use high level modulation, and low level transmitters use low level modulation. The choice between the two modulation schemes depends on the transmitting power of the AM transmitter. In broadcast transmitters, where the transmitting power may be of the order of kilowatts, high level modulation is employed. In low power transmitters, where only a few watts of transmitting power are required , low...

Using the TLP250 Isolated MOSFET Driver Explanation and Example Circuits

I’ve already shown how to drive an N-channel MOSFET (or even an IGBT) in both high-side and low-side configurations in a multitude of ways. I’ve also explained the principles of driving the MOSFETs in these configurations. The dedicated drivers I’ve shown so far are the TC427 and IR2110. Some people have requested me to write up on MOSFET drive using the very popular TLP250. And I’ll explain that here. The TLP250, like any driver, has an input stage, an output stage and a power supply connection. What’s special about the TLP250 is that the TLP250 is an optically isolated driver, meaning that the input and output are “optically isolated”. The isolation is optical – the input stage is an LED and the receiving output stage is light sensitive (think “photodetector”). Before delving any further, let’s look at the pin configuration and the truth table. Fig. 1 - TLP250 Pin Configuration Fig. 2 - TLP250 Truth Table Fig. 1 clearly shows the input LED side and the receiving photodetector as well...
