| Reducing the number of interconnections in a design improves system reliability. There are fewer problems of unreliable contacts and cable f...
| This pulse generator, which offers a mark-space ratio that is adjustable in exponentially increasing steps, is a novel use for a familiar IC...
| Light-sensitive sensors with characteristics similar to those of the human eye are most often implemented using photoresistors or special (a...
| With battery-operated equipment there’s always the risk of batteries being inserted the wrong way around. Although a diode or a bridge recti...
| Although surface-mount parts are not the easiest to handle, the reward in test and measurement equipment is increased accuracy. Integrated p...
| Sense resistors in series with the load are central to regulating current in switch-mode power supplies. It is possible to optimise the powe...
| The precision current sink shown in Figure 1, which uses a Si4936 DY dual MOSFET (IC1) as a controlled load resistance, is very energy-effic...
| Dynamic flip-flops ignore pulses at their inputs that are shorter than 40 ns or do not have TTL levels. This means that TTL flip-flops are p...
| A notch for a narrow frequency band of a few per cent or even less normally requires close-tolerance components. At least, that’s what we th...
