A subject rarely found in circuit design textbooks is the matter of nonlinear junction capacitance, especially reverse-bias junction capacitance, also called depletion capacitance. When it is ...

Most operational amplifiers (op amps) have input and output electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection diodes, as shown in Figure 1. These diodes are designed for protection from ESD damage during ...

From traditional fuses to eFuses, understanding the advantages, limitations, and use cases of each technology helps engineers ...

Note: This article is based on the 2011 NEC. Overcurrent exists when current exceeds the rating of equipment or the ampacity of a conductor. This can be due to an overload, short circuit, or ground ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. A piezoelectric motor is a linear motor with bidirectional motion. It uses friction to grip the armature while a ...
