The EBAZ4205 is the least costly Zynq-7000 based board that I luckily happened to chance upon. However, it wasn’t my first Zynq-7000 board. That happened to be the MYIR’s (Make Your Ideas Real) Z-Turn board (with a Zynq-7010 SoC). I purchased this board for approximately Ksh. 12,000. It was to be my gateway into FPGAs, … Continue reading Getting Started with the EBAZ4205 as a Zynq-7000 Development…
From my experience, if you were to step into a college electronics lab session and ask a student “When would you set an oscilloscope channel to either AC or DC coupling” chances are you’ll get something along the line, “AC coupling is for AC signals and DC coupling is for DC signals”. While there is … Continue reading AC, DC Coupling on the Oscilloscope: When to Use Which →
One of the circuits that I’ve spent an inordinate amount of time investigating this year is the Analogue Multiplier. An analogue multiplier is a circuit block which takes two analogue signals and produces an output which is proportional to their product. Analogue multipliers can be integrated as part of a larger circuit blocks to perform … Continue reading A Practical Implementation of A Two…
So today I was reading up on signal energy and signal power for my Signal Processing class, and I came upon this conundrum that I occasionally have, I am aware of the terms Energy and Power, but what do they mean. Okay for starters, just to get this out of the way, signal energy and … Continue reading Difference between Energy and Power: Building a Simple Intuition →
