As the economy continues to change, chances are good that you’re examining every aspect of your business for ways to improve your bottom line. A significant opportunity may be found by taking a close ...

It is easy to dismiss passive components like resistors and capacitors as a boring subject. [James Lewis] of KEMET Capacitors would disagree. He gave a talk about capacitor tech that is both ...

Capacitors are among the simplest of electronic components – in theory – but the practical implementation is becoming more complex, says Christian Merkel. Capacitors are two conducting plates, ...

Capacitors are tiny components found in almost every electronic device, but most people have no idea what they do. This video ...

Individual pieces of graphene have some pretty amazing properties, but finding a way to produce bulk materials that make good use of those properties has been rather challenging. Now, researchers have ...

Using a PN-junction diode for temperature measurement usually depends on its 2‑mV/K temperature coefficient. Conventionally, you must amplify and digitize this voltage with an ADC before you can use ...

Matching several capacitors, without needing a really precise value, can be accomplished with a "high-tech" laboratory capacitance meter. But this is cumbersome and overkill, and not everyone has one.

The circuit in Figure 1a comprises a voltage follower, IC 1, and the reference-voltage source of IC 2. IC 1 is an Analog Devices AD8661 op amp, which has a guaranteed input-bias current of no more ...
