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

Thermocouples and their leads often have to detect open-circuit or short-circuit faults. However, it is very difficult to distinguish a valid millivolt temperature signal from an open/short-circuited ...

Here, we are designing a simple light activated switch circuit using LDR. It can be used in security applications like when there is darkness on the LDR, it stops lighting. The main principle of this ...

Transistors, the tiny switches that flip on and off inside computer chips, have long been the domain of electricity. But scientists are beginning to develop chip components that run on light. Last ...

OK, so I have an old project laptop with an IDE/PATA/slim-ATAPI optical drive bay, into which I have inserted a SATA drive caddy with a bridge board. The thing is, the caddy doesn't transfer the drive ...

[Kevin Darrah] wanted to make a simple 3.3V regulator without using an integrated circuit. He wound up using two common NPN transistors and 4 1K resistors. The circuit isn’t going to beat out a cheap ...

Switching has almost always meant “hard" switching, which is simple but comes with all kinds of electrical and thermal ...
