A fundamental goal of synthetic biology is to predictably and efficiently reprogram cells to perform computations and carry out specific biological tasks 1. Cells genetically engineered with ...

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 ...

Though sometimes taken for granted, designers shouldn’t overlook the intricacies of voltage- and current-feedback op amps—integral players in the analog and mixed-signal worlds. Op amps amplify tiny ...

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 ...

(V3 is the input and V1, the IC power supply, would need to be made from the voltage across C4 – scroll down to see just the Cuk part) And a mini-obsession over the last few years has been trying to ...
