Using circuit simulating software like SPICE can be a powerful tool for modeling the behavior of a circuit in the real world. On the other hand, it’s not always necessary to have all of the features ...

A common lightning protection circuit consists of a series resistor and a shunt voltage suppression device designed to clamp the transient to a tolerable level. There is an issue when selecting ...

A behind-the-scenes look at how the original handheld digital calculator was created by Jack Kilby’s team of engineers at TI, as told by the grandson of LED inventor James R. Biard. Handheld ...

Building reliable hardware requires that you account for all tolerances during the design stage. Many references discuss active component errors resulting from parameter deviations—showing how to ...

When charging defibrillator capacitors, a novel approach can be used with confidence to come up with a more exacting design, eliminating the cumbersome aspects of many other approaches. KirCreel, ...

The digitalization of industry is progressing in leaps and bounds, albeit not at the same speed everywhere. In many industries, processes can be digitalized well to very well — for example, because ...
