After a brief break, I found myself revisiting latching relays—not just as components, but as puzzles waiting to be solved.

The remote variable resistor functions as a voltage-controlled resistor whose resistance changes based on an applied voltage.

Here’s a nostalgic vibe of an awesome analog chip from the 1990s era that’s still making an impact in audio designs.

A software suite powering oscillators and clocks claims higher time synchronization accuracy than quartz-based solutions.

There are many options when you need to splice wires. In addition to formal two-piece connectors, there’s the widely used ...

A capacitor measured with a $100 handheld multi-meter can give a substantially different result than the same capacitor measured with a $10,000 LCR meter. That same capacitor measured with two ...

Engineers often use SPICE simulations for operational amplifiers to look at the stability of a proposed circuit. SPICE simulations are particularly frequent for high-speed amplifier applications where ...

One of the issues that beginning electronic engineers must grasp is the concept of impedance and impedance matching, epically with respect to transmission lines, cables, and connectors. This FAQ ...

Table 2 Loop filter parameters are shown for a down-converted architecture. Source: Texas Instruments Figure 7 shows the measured result and simulation obtained from the LMX2820 chip, which has a ...

The first installment of this two-part series focused on debugging brushed-DC motor systems. Now the second installment will share some tips for stepper motor systems and provide general bench testing ...

A photo-spintronic conversion element combining optical, electronic, and magnetic elements can respond at an ultra-high speed of 20 picoseconds (20 × 10⁻¹² s) while using light with a wavelength of ...
