Vactrols, or both an LED and a light depending resistor in a light-tight housing, are found in analog music electronics circuits like audio compressors, voltage-controlled amplifiers, voltage-controlled filters, and other applications...

Often you want to turn on and off power to a device with a single pushbutton switch. The circuit performs this logic function with just a few parts...

Analog topologies abound for converting current to voltage, voltage to current, voltage to frequency, and frequency to voltage, among other conversions. Figure 1 joins the flock while singing a somewhat different tune...

A simple, permanent-magnet dc motor is an essential element in a variety of products, such as toys, servo mechanisms, valve actuators, robots, and automotive electronics. In many of these applications, the motor must rotate in a given direction until the mechanism reaches the end of travel...

Some applications require a hot-swap controller, a circuit-breaker function, or both for dual-polarity, dc-input power-supply rails. In some hot-swap cases, the requirement is based only on inrush-current considerations...

This circuit uses a low power op Amp and a p-channel FET to form a diode function with a very low 0.05 volt voltage drop...

To meet the growing demand for high performance electronic components in next-generation automotive applications, Vishay Intertechnology introduced a new AEC-Q200 qualified, 50 W thick film power resistor in a compact TO-220 package for direct mounting on a heatsink...

I designed the circuit as a part of a data transmission system that has a carrier frequency of 400 kHz using on-off keying (OOK) modulation...

Littelfuse, Inc. announced the launch of two new TMR-based magnetic angle sensors - the LF53466 and LF53464 - designed to deliver high-precision 0–360° angular measurement in harsh environments with minimal thermal drift...

Two inexpensive ICs divide a TTL clock signal by 1.5...
