In the old days every instrument or system had a power supply board with discrete, homemade regulators on it to power the system. Then IC’s like the LM7805 series of voltage regulators changed ...

Switching algebra is easily visualized using switches since there are only two values: on and off, or true and false. In digital systems we represent these as 1 and 0, respectively. There are only two ...

Chinese researchers have developed a novel electronics fabrication technique that could redefine how high-performance ...

Circuits that fall under the requirements of Art. 725 are remote-control, signaling, and power-limited circuits that aren’t an integral part of a device or appliance. Article 725 includes circuits for ...

The wiring inside a dwelling that you cannot see may be an arc fault waiting to happen, due to improper installation; corrosion; damage caused by rodents, insects, or other pests; penetration by ...

After several years of experimentation, and growing success in volume manufacturing for some use cases, technologies for 3D printing of electronic circuits are becoming more common. Some innovations ...

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 ...

Chaotic circuits can arise from either computed (using Analog Computers or Digital Computers) solutions to coupled differential equations or from unstable systems/circuits. A new open-source circuit ...
