Designers of electronic systems are challenged to provide circuits with improved efficiency and the ability to handle greater currents and higher voltages while reducing current leakage and decreasing ...

Most modern electronic devices consist of several key components: transistors, capacitors, resistors, inductors and diodes. Often, they are supplemented by additional components like crystals and ...

I'm sort of curious myself. I've been on the software side of things for a long time, but I have a lot of EE coworkers, and I've been curious about learning a little about building electronics, to the ...

When looking across the discrete components in your electronic armory, it is easy to overlook the humble diode. After all, one can be forgiven for the conclusion that the everyday version of this ...

The Signature 1000RX cable/harness tester can snoop out opens, shorts, and incorrect wiring in cables, harnesses, and other components, such as resistors, diodes, and so forth. Self programming, the ...

The passive component industry — the manufacturers who make the boring but vital resistors, capacitors, and diodes found in every single electronic device — is on the cusp of a shortage. You’ll always ...

Analogues of the resistors, capacitors and diodes of an electronic circuit could eliminate the need for bulky external pumps to control the flow of liquids in a microfluidic circuit. But, of course, ...

Traditional relay drivers involve multiple discrete components to drive the relay and protect against damage to the microcontroller or other devices that can be caused by the voltage spike generated ...

The four-layer diode was the key to William Shockley's plan to revolutionize AT&T's phone system. It was a great device in theory, but not in practice -- at least not at the time when Shockley wanted ...
