For electricity to flow, everything needs to be connected in a big ring. It’s called a circuit. For example, the lights in most houses and flats are part of a circuit controlled by the consumer unit, ...

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

Designers can make useful products that include electrical components close electrical componentA device in an electric circuit, such as a battery, switch or lamp.. They allow a product to have lights ...

High-impedance circuits, by nature, involve the use of high value resistors. Values range from hundreds of kilo-ohms up into the hundreds of Megohms and even as high as tens of Teraohms. Beyond the ...

Building reliable hardware requires that you account for all tolerances during the design stage. Many references discuss active component errors resulting from parameter deviations—showing how to ...

Through-hole assembly means bending leads on components and putting the leads through holes in the circuit board, then soldering them in place, and trimming the wires. That took up too much space and ...

Flexible electronics of one kind or another have been around for more than 20 years. What most now call flexible printed circuits (FPCs) are branching out to rigid-flex designs as well as highly ...

Biochemical circuits made of rationally designed DNA molecules are proofs of concept for embedding control within complex molecular environments. They hold promise for transforming the current ...
