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

Ladder logic uses switch or relay contacts to implement Boolean expressions. In years past, ladder logic was made possible with discrete relays and was sometimes termed “relay logic.” Today most ...

How does a hot swap circuit work? What’s the role of a hot swap controller? What are the basic design considerations for selecting a hot swap controller or module? Here is a short tutorial explaining ...

The diagram above is a typical PCB layout in Altium Circuitmaker software. The days of “electro” and “mechanical” being separate disciplines are long gone. Virtually all mechanical systems now come ...

This video explains the function of diodes and how they are used to control the flow of electrical current in electronic circuits. Diodes are essential components that allow current to move in only ...

Impedance matching is easy if you know the basics. Download the eBook to find out how. The L-network is a real workhorse impedance-matching circuit (see “Back to Basics: Impedance Matching (Part 2)” ) ...

Hybrid relays combine a mechanical switch with a solid-state switch, and they are set up in parallel to control a single load.

Extension of phase-shedding techniques commonly used in intermidiate-bus architecture to Vicor's current-transformer approach. Fig 1. Designers can parallel identical fixed-ratio isolated bus ...
