Targeting applications that include fast valves in respiration equipment, auto-focus capabilities in optical systems, and active damping in instrumentation, the LA50-65-001A voice-coil actuator ...

Every once in a while we stumble across something so simple yet so clever that we just have to call it out. This custom linear Hall effect sensor is a perfect example of this. By way of backstory, ...

Power MOSFETs are most often used in switched-mode applications where they function as on-off switches. But in applications like electronic loads, linear regulators or Class A amplifiers, power ...

In a recent study, scientists from the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with scientists from Dresden, Halle, and others have established a physical model of ...
