Stairway to Thévenin
<i>This article was inspired by a recent post on reddit asking for help on Thévenin and Norton equivalent circuits. (With apologies to Mr. Thévenin, the rest of the e's that follow will remain unaccented.) I still remember my introductory circuits class on the subject, roughly as
element14: BuildBrighton: Challenge concept - Reading cubes using resistors & Arduino
Howdy, From the talks we had about the challenge last Thursday, I have designed a simple
An Engineer in Wonderland - Sziklai pair excitement (Electro-ramblings)
As a temporary measure, I am knocking together a power supply for my LED ceiling. The idea is to check-out the choice of brightness levels and the power circuit before I go the whole hog and make a microcontroller version. I need to control 0-1A through an...

<p>Since When Does a Resistor Become a Diode? Contributed by Jefferson Chua, Circuit Analysis Engineer We have grown used to great fanfare about the material composition in the tiniest feature of a transistor design, but circuit designers often become jaded</p>
Analog Diablog™: Dual Difference Amplifier with On-Chip Resistors Implements Precision ADC Driver
<div><font face="arial">Discrete difference amplifiers exhibit mediocre accuracy, significant drift over temperature, poor CMR, and a small input voltage range. Monolithic diff amps have better CMR, but still suffer from gain drift due to the mismatch between on-chip devices and the external gain

Byte and Switch (Part 2)
<i>In part 1 we talked about the use of a MOSFET for a power switch. Here's a different circuit that also uses a MOSFET, this time as a switch for signals: We have a thermistor Rth that is located somewhere in an assembly, that connects to a circuit board. This acts as a variable resistor that

40-year-old resistor technology is still cutting it
Over four decades after it was invented by Dr Felix Zandman, bulk metal foil technology continues to find new applications and markets, writes Edmund Coady from Charcroft Electronics in a recent article in Electronics Weekly....
