Industrial manufacturers must often attempt to forecast equipment requirements when installing a new system or building a new factory. Projecting communication ...

Op Amps are among the most widely used components in systems design of electronic circuits. Although functionally simple, they exhibit complex behavior as the Op Amp itself is a carefully crafted ...

An autotransformer is a transformer having part of its winding included in both the input and output circuit. A simple autotransformer connection is shown in Fig. 1. Note that because there is a ...

In the “Say It with Me” series, we’ll take a commonly used concept out of electronics and explain it the best we can. If there’s something that’s been bugging you, or a certain term or concept that ...

Every peripheral device (keyboard, modem, monitor, etc.) requires a control circuit that interfaces with the computer's processor (CPU). These circuits are either built into the chips on the ...

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 . . .

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. Although quite a few direct digital synthesis (DDS) ICs can generate high-frequency sine waves, their complexity excludes them from ...
