Ordinary power supply design includes current limiting as a protection feature. In product design, this is usually sufficient in that the engineer decides the loads on the supply by design. However, ...

The recent EDN article of Bruce Trump () on the input impedance of an op-amp circuit took into account the single-pole roll-off of its loop gain. He showed with a simple derivation how the equivalent ...

A very simple but highly efficient combination lock circuit is shown in the figure. Any type of on/off switches can be used, varying from commercially available inexpensive types to more sophisticated ...

Explains the principles of transistor switching circuits, highlighting their role in electronic computers. It contrasts transistors with vacuum tubes, emphasizing that transistors function as ...

Cadence is claiming up to 3x transient simulation performance for its latest transistor-level circuit simulator, compared with its previous offering. Called Spectre FX Simulator, it is the next ...

Field-effect transistors based on carbon nanotubes have been shown to be faster and less energy consuming than their silicon counterparts. However, ensuring these advantages are maintained for ...
