Designers of instruments or control systems often find that component performance limits overall equipment performance in areas such as stability, frequency response, noise, and ESD. This is ...

I get somewhat annoyed when I hear engineers who have some real-world experience or exposure casually dismiss a component, especially a passive one, as “simple.” It may be simple in concept or ...

This video explains how resistors function and how Ohm’s Law defines the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance in electronic circuits. Resistors are passive components used to control ...

Determining the resistor values and assuring performance of the circuit associated with a photocoupler (also called an optocoupler or optoisolator) is simple in principle, but there are some points to ...

Accountants and MBAs use spreadsheets to play “what if” scenarios with business and financial data. Can you do the same thing with electronic circuits? The answer–perhaps not surprisingly–is yes.

Monolithic ratiometric resistor dividers provide a low-drift solution for converting the high voltages in modern EV battery packs into voltages suitable for conversion and processing in the ADC of a ...
