Flexible Flash Memory Gets Us One Step Closer to Bendy Computing

The University of Tokyo developed the “organic flash memory,” a non-volatile memory that has the same basic structure as a flash memory and is made with organic materials. The erasing and reading voltages of the new flash memory are as low as 6V and 1V, respectively. Data can be written in and erased from the [...]

Triac Regulation using PIC microcontroller

This device uses PIC16C54 to control a triac. One push-button has the UP (increase) function, second one has the DOWN function and the third one is for ON-OFF. Button ON will increase the number on LED display from 00 to 99 which represents triac firing in percentages. Triac can power universal load such as light [...]
