This resource provides clear explanations of how switching regulators work and how voltage boosting is achieved efficiently ...

Last December I downloaded a trial of the Altium CircuitStudio circuit board CAD (computer-aided design) program. It’s buggy, slow to load, crashes occasionally, and has a new and infuriating user ...

Author’s note: This article shows how to derive circuit gain equations via a signal flow graph. With practice you may be able to write a gain equation by locating signal paths and loops in the ...

If you are looking for simulation software, you are probably thinking LTSpice or one of the open-source simulators like Ngspice (which drives Oregano and QUCs-S), or GNUCap. However, there is a new ...

Switching has almost always meant “hard" switching, which is simple but comes with all kinds of electrical and thermal ...

In the first of a multi-part series on how to design a custom chip for under $1,000, our Analog Editor gets you started with a Magnificent 7 list of textbooks. TinyTapeout offers a course that ...

Through-hole assembly means bending leads on components and putting the leads through holes in the circuit board, then soldering them in place, and trimming the wires. That took up too much space and ...

Electrical components, like motors close motorA device which spins when current flows through it. Motors are used in fans, food processors and many other devices. and lamps close lampA component which ...

As with the clock, many compelling biological questions centre on how interactions among genes and proteins, forming genetic circuits, give rise to specific cellular functions. Genetic and biochemical ...
