This video explains the function of diodes and how they are used to control the flow of electrical current in electronic ...

In this lesson, students build two circuits and explore how transistors function. When Bell Labs introduced the transistor in June of 1948, a spokesman proudly announced "This cylindrical object . . .

Scientists are facing a number of barriers as they try to develop circuits that are microscopic in size, including how to reliably control the current that flows through a circuit that is the width of ...

In order to test and characterize optical front end circuits, a controllable, high bandwidth, microamp-level current source is needed. However, most optocouplers on the market have large CTR variation ...

What Is A Semiconductor Gate? The gate electrode is a thin film of a conductive material deposited on top of an insulator layer in a transistor. The gate sits above a channel formed in the main body ...

Download this article in PDF format. It’s now common to see circuit boards that carry hundreds of amps, especially in intensive data-processing applications, electric vehicles, and ac distribution.

Voltage converters rarely offer an adjustable current limit. However, a high-side N-channel MOSFET static switch driver offers a possible solution to not only limiting current, but monitoring and ...

ROHM’s ultra-compact complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) operational amplifier (op amp) TLR1901GXZ achieves the ...

The battery as we know it today was an invention of Italian chemist and physicist Alessandro Volta. He witnessed electricity splitting water into its constituent elements of oxygen and hydrogen and ...

The other day, I was casually scrolling through Google when I stumbled upon a flood of dirt-cheap RC snubber circuit modules on various online stores. That got me thinking—it’s high time we talk about ...
