The Advantages of I2C in Fan Control – White Paper

Presented by : Control Resources
I2C or IIC (Inter-Integrated Circuit Bus) was originally intended to be used in audio equipment, where a microcontroller-based system was often required to control multiple components. However, the I/O requirements to interface each device in a small circuit board that fit into an automotive head unit became in impossible task given space and cost constraints; thus, the I2C protocol was created in response. Check out this resource for more information on implementing I2C protocol in fan control applications.

What is a Stroboscope and How to Use One? – White Paper

Presented by : Control Resources
Stroboscopes are diagnostic inspection tools used to flash a high intensity light to create a stop motion effect on a moving part; however, to measure the rotational speed (RPM) of a motor, the stroboscope must be able to see the full 360° rotation of a face on the part. Check out this datasheet for more information on using these tools.
