Even robotic systems occasionally need a cooling fan. When they do, the cooling circuit must be an intelligent one that makes minimal demands on power consumption and space. The circuit described here ...

[Les] from [Les’ Lab] has designed a driver for laser diodes up to 10 watts, and decided to show us how it operates, tells us what we should keep in mind when designing such a driver, and talks about ...

Several years ago, Paul Rako, in collaboration with the late, great Bob Pease, wrote a terrific article about the finer theoretical and practical points of electromagnetic solenoid-driver circuits. 1 ...

This application note is intended for engineers designing an isolated AC-DC LED driver using the LinkSwitch-PH family of devices. It provides guidelines to enable an engineer to quickly select key ...

Advanced Analogic Technologies Incorporated has announced today two new high-performance charge pump products which enable designers to build dramatically smaller, more feature-rich mobile handsets.

Ordering a PCB with mistakes sucks. We should help each other avoid such mistakes – especially newcomers. One of the best ways to avoid these mistakes, especially if it’s your first one, is to get a ...

The future of circuit design, encompassing analog, RF/5G, and custom electronic circuits, is set to be revolutionized by the integration of generative AI tools. These advanced tools will not only ...

Strength in advanced packaging and physical storage markets are driving a recovery in Electronics, and management recently boosted full-year EBITDA guidance on the strength of these segments.

All circuits, analog or digital, have characteristics dependent on the values of their component parts. Invariably, these parts are non-ideal in many ways. Even their most fundamental characteristics, ...
