Most modern electronic devices consist of several key components: transistors, capacitors, resistors, inductors and diodes. Often, they are supplemented by additional components like crystals and ...

The level of difficulty in designing electro-technique devices has increased, owing to thermal stress. With the development of electric vehicles and electric aircraft, and to keep up with the recent ...

This video explains how capacitors work and why they are essential in modern electronics. Capacitors store and release ...

This video breaks down how resistors work and why they’re one of the most essential components in every electronic device.

One can 3D print with conductive filament, and therefore plausibly create passive components like resistors. But what about active components, which typically require semiconductors? Researchers at ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. Transistors and ICs are considered active components because they change signals using energy from the power supply. Capacitors, ...

1. Power-factor triangle relates the real power, the reactive power, and the apparent power. (Courtesy of Vector Group) Let’s start by talking about the concept of power factor (PF). Assuming ...

Managing the heat generated by components has always been an important element of electronic design. It is even more true today as power densities continue to increase and individual components such ...

QSPICE is an analog and mixed-signal simulator characterized by high simulation speed, accuracy and reliability. It is a new program and can be downloaded here. QSPICE is still in the demonstration ...

The global electronics supply chain faces a growing challenge from counterfeit and recycled components, which can compromise system reliability and user safety. Recent technological innovations ...
