After a brief break, I found myself revisiting latching relays—not just as components, but as puzzles waiting to be solved.

Here’s a nostalgic vibe of an awesome analog chip from the 1990s era that’s still making an impact in audio designs.

A software suite powering oscillators and clocks claims higher time synchronization accuracy than quartz-based solutions.

Why get up close and personal with a resistor when you can tweak it from a distance? Remote variable resistors make analog circuit control easier, neater, and a lot more fun. Well, we are about to ...

There are many options when you need to splice wires. In addition to formal two-piece connectors, there’s the widely used ...

Engineers often use SPICE simulations for operational amplifiers to look at the stability of a proposed circuit. SPICE simulations are particularly frequent for high-speed amplifier applications where ...

One of the issues that beginning electronic engineers must grasp is the concept of impedance and impedance matching, epically with respect to transmission lines, cables, and connectors. This FAQ ...

Table 2 Loop filter parameters are shown for a down-converted architecture. Source: Texas Instruments Figure 7 shows the measured result and simulation obtained from the LMX2820 chip, which has a ...

The first installment of this two-part series focused on debugging brushed-DC motor systems. Now the second installment will share some tips for stepper motor systems and provide general bench testing ...

The tips and tricks when testing motor-driver ICs on the lab bench can help engineers reduce time spent on evaluating and prototyping motor systems. The first installment of this two-part article ...

There are various reasons why you might need to split a voltage rail in your design. Perhaps the design contains a sensor or an IC that requires a bipolar supply, or you need to make the best use of ...

A new transceiver for the single-drop communication interface IO-Link promises to boost factory floor efficiency and productivity by enabling seamless, bidirectional communication between sensors, ...
