The end of August was a pretty interesting week with lots of exciting components being launched for various automotive, industrial, and space applications. In this article, we’ll…
The alphabet prefixes in front of the part numbers of ICs are often taken for granted, since all they do is represent the manufacturer of the IC (although not in all cases) – but…
There are many reasons why you should not use an op-amp as a comparator, which is also the reason why dedicated comparator ICs exist. In this article, we will take a closer look…
A Multimeter, a variable power supply, a soldering iron and an oscilloscope are arguably the most basic lab requirements for anyone working with electronic circuits. Of all the…
A typical electronic circuit design consists of passive devices like resistors, capacitors, inductors, and active devices like Integrated Circuit (ICs), Diode, Transistors, etc.…
From compact shunt resistors to bulky current transformers, engineers adopt a wide range of current measurement techniques in their designs to measure and monitor current in their…
Detection and measurement of electronic signals is a task that involves some precision. Often the input stage contains an Op-Amp integrator to measure small changes in input. If…
Soldering iron is probably the most ubiquitous tool used by people who practice electronics on almost every level, from beginners to pros.
Soldering irons are simple devices,…
When it comes to precision control, a stepper motor is the first thing that pops into our head, but sometimes there are situations where you need precise control, but not that…
Op-amps are the mainstay of analog electronics. You can find them performing a wide range of functions such as amplification, filtering, comparing, and performing mathematical…
