RJ45 Port Pinout
RJ45 is used to connect Ethernet port on your computer. There are two configuration: straight and cross. Straight RJ45 cables should be used to connect between computer and device such as switch or hub, and cross RJ45 cables should be used in computer-to-computer connection.  Some hub or switch has the capability to detect the cable type and accept both straight and cross RJ45 cables. Here is the RJ45 pin and wiring diagram: Read Full Story
RS232 (COM) Port Pinout Diagram
This pin diagram will be  useful when viewing these connectors. Sometimes you hold a soldering iron to the back of the connector, and you don’t remember the numbering of the pin. Here is the pin diagram for your reference: The number of each pins are actually  stamped on both sides of any D-type connector. Unfortunately, since they are only moldings, they are very difficult to see as they have no  color difference. Possibly Related Articles:RJ45 Port PinoutRJ45 is used to connect Et... Read Full Story

Programmable Pressure Transducer Circuit
programmable pressure transducer circuit circuit schematic
Silicon pezoresitive-bridge pressure transducer (SPPT) is very popular in medical, industrial, environmental, and automotive pressure sensor application. The general architecture of SPPT uses a thin micromachined silicon diaphragm incorporates a implanted piezoresitive Wheatson-bridge strain-gauge. The transducer design allows only a small diaphragm deflection sin it has limited elasticity, and this produces only a very small output signal, only about 1% modulation of the bridge resistance e...
