Designers of electronic systems are challenged to provide circuits with improved efficiency and the ability to handle greater currents and higher voltages while reducing current leakage and decreasing ...

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 ...

I'm sort of curious myself. I've been on the software side of things for a long time, but I have a lot of EE coworkers, and I've been curious about learning a little about building electronics, to the ...

The Signature 1000RX cable/harness tester can snoop out opens, shorts, and incorrect wiring in cables, harnesses, and other components, such as resistors, diodes, and so forth. Self programming, the ...

When looking across the discrete components in your electronic armory, it is easy to overlook the humble diode. After all, one can be forgiven for the conclusion that the everyday version of this ...

40 A to 240 A Dual-Diode and Single Phase Bridge Devices Offer Low Forward Voltage Drop Down to 1.36 V and QC Down to 56 nC MALVERN, Pa., Jan. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vishay Intertechnology, Inc.

The passive component industry — the manufacturers who make the boring but vital resistors, capacitors, and diodes found in every single electronic device — is on the cusp of a shortage. You’ll always ...

Analogues of the resistors, capacitors and diodes of an electronic circuit could eliminate the need for bulky external pumps to control the flow of liquids in a microfluidic circuit. But, of course, ...

My recent columns discussed the physics and applications of discrete-zener-diode references, and the conclusion they reached is that discrete zener diodes make poor references because of tolerance ...

The four-layer diode was the key to William Shockley's plan to revolutionize AT&T's phone system. It was a great device in theory, but not in practice -- at least not at the time when Shockley wanted ...
