This resource provides clear explanations of how switching regulators work and how voltage boosting is achieved efficiently ...

Author’s note: This article shows how to derive circuit gain equations via a signal flow graph. With practice you may be able to write a gain equation by locating signal paths and loops in the ...

This simple circuit tests speakers, microphones, transformers and voltage. It’s basically a very low frequency oscillator that produces extremely short ‘fruity’ pulses. The type of sound produced is ...

In the first of a multi-part series on how to design a custom chip for under $1,000, our Analog Editor gets you started with a Magnificent 7 list of textbooks. TinyTapeout offers a course that ...

When first learning about and building electronic circuits, the first things all of us come across are passive components such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors. These have easily-understandable ...

Through-hole assembly means bending leads on components and putting the leads through holes in the circuit board, then soldering them in place, and trimming the wires. That took up too much space and ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign, and Northwestern University, in Evanston, IL, have shown that electrical circuits can be made to fold and stretch and still match the ...

Electrical components, like motors close motorA device which spins when current flows through it. Motors are used in fans, food processors and many other devices. and lamps close lampA component which ...
