This video provides a clear explanation of resistors and their role in electronic circuits. It introduces the principles ...

Variable current will generate inductance, capacitance, and their related properties of inductive and capacitive reactance. Although there's no energy loss that directly results from these properties, ...

Switch-mode regulators include the buck (step-down) and the boost (step-up), forward and flyback topologies, as well as the SEPIC, hysteretic and multiphase converters. Two basic IC topologies are ...

(Editor's Note: There are links to the previous parts of this series at the end, below the author's biography.) For all signal-chain devices to operate properly, each requires a stable-voltage power ...

Voltage regulators play an important role in many power systems. The first part of this Back to Basics article examines the role of several types of regulators including low-dropout voltage regulators ...

When you need a multimeter for testing electrical equipment around the home, it's vital to know what all those symbols around the dial mean.

The electrical upgrade of the green carbon facility at the aluminum plant was complete. A myriad of programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and PC-based graphic user interface (GUI) systems replaced the ...

Two DC stages DC-to-DC conversion typically starts with 48 V (or sometimes 54 V), and first drops it to 12 or 6 V. Then it is ...
