This is the first of a two-part series on the processes used to find the short circuit current duties of circuit breakers and fuses. In Part 1, we’ll use a simplified power system to illustrate the ...

CMOS current reference circuits play a critical role in modern integrated circuits by providing a stable and reproducible current source that remains unaffected by variations in supply voltage, ...

Circuits that carry femtoamperes of current have many subtleties that you wouldn’t normally consider in the design and layout of conventional circuitry. If you overlook these subtleties, the circuit ...

Amplifier circuit offsets are always an important topic for any amplifier design. Most voltage amplifier circuit offsets are a result of the amplifier’s input voltage offset, input bias current and ...

The fuse breaks the circuit if a fault in an appliance causes too much current to flow. This protects the wiring and the appliance if something goes wrong. The fuse contains a piece of wire that melts ...

THE second edition of this text-book is a creditable effort on the part of the author to cover, in a single volume of 730 pages, the extensive field embracing the theory and applications of direct and ...

An application of the methods of irreversible thermodynamics to the fluxes in plant xylem is examined, and an expression is derived for the electric current present when a length of stem is short ...
