I’m trying to interface with a Cypress/Infineon S25FL127S (https://www.cypress.com/file/177961/download – 16MB SPI Flash module) and the Erase commands are very slow. Testing with two different boards a number times shows it takes an average of 2.5 seconds to erase a single block (command 0xD8) or sector (command 0x20). Is this normal? Once a block is … Read more
Please correct me where wrong and I would really appreciate intuitive explanation for the following fundamental questions. These may appear trivial but as I am not from Electrical background, these concepts are quite baffling for me. It is preferred to have a low BER. Does the theoretical BER serves as the lower or the upper … Read more

I have a couple of reference designs with 2 different crystal oscillators integrated into it. These are cellular radio and can generate standard LTE QAM signals out of it. But I do not have access to high end equipment which can demodulate the signal for vector measurements. So I am looking for ways to test … Read more
Why would the use of wax improve the performance of a FM transmitter? Consider this from the video How to build a FM radio transmitter, at 4 min 14 secs: “Theoretically this helps decrease onboard interference between the components” Wax in this case is paraffin wax and has a relatively low relative permittivity of 2-3 … Read more
For a brushed DC motor, there are the well-known differential equations describing the electrical and mechanical behaviour: Va−iaRa−Laddtia−keωa=0 ktia−Jddtωa−Bωa−TL=0 For my purpose, I’m interested in steady-state performance. I can solve for Va and ωa for a given input voltage by setting the derivative terms to zero. Brushless motors are more complicated in that it’s the … Read more

Any particular reason why none of the eMMC manufacturers mention random read or random write performance in datasheets ? Only performance mentioned in datasheets is for sequential workloads. Answer None? I opened two random eMMC datasheets and they both do mention it. First : Random read/write 4866/1542 IOPS Second : Random read/write e.g. 2500/200 IOPS … Read more
I am trying to identify a motor-driven system that can produce a constant linear force in one direction. The context for this is an injection device that compresses the plunger of a syringe (similar setup to this open source syringe pump). The actuation (injection) needs to be performed at a precise and repeatable force. I’m … Read more
