Custom RFID and NFC Device Development: Theory and Practice

How do RFID and NFC Technologies Work? Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is a wireless communication technology that uses radio waves to uniquely identify tagged items. A radio-frequency identification system generally consists of three elements: a reader, a tag, and RFID software. The RFID tag carries unique ID information and other data associated with the item it […]

Best Practices on Embedded Firmware Development: Typical Challenges and Solutions

Any embedded system requires firmware. Embedded systems, such as smart watches, microwave ovens, or TV remote control, have different peripherals. Their work is managed by a controlling element – usually a microcontroller. To function properly, the microcontroller needs “instructions”. Embedded firmware is specialized software that controls the work of the microcontroller.  Firmware can also be […]

Electronics Design Practices to Prevent EOS and ESD Damage

What is ESD?   Our team has vast experience in developing custom electronics, so we know very well how problematic ESD can be.   ESD stands for electrostatic discharge. Many materials can conduct electricity and accumulate an electric charge. It happens due to triboelectric charging (friction between materials) or electrostatic induction. Whenever this happens, an […]
