Toshiba Electronics Europe has launched a new photorelay specifically engineered to reduce insertion loss and suppress power attenuation of high frequency signals...

The voltage-doubler circuit can convert 2.5 V dc to 5 V dc or 1.8 V to 3.3 V. Most voltage doublers use an inductor, but this circuit doesn’t need one...

Low-cost monolithic precision adjustable voltage references are available in multiple families from multiple manufacturers, but this isn’t true for adjustable precision current references...

There are several applications in which pulses longer than the set width are to be detected, ignoring the other short pulses. We are familiar with the missing pulse detector circuit...

There are two basic filter topologies that everyone recommends when they start to design their signal chain: multiple-feedback (MFB) or Sallen-Key topologies. But what are the differences and why would you choose one over the other?...

On two days in the course of every year, one in March heralding the start of spring and another in September marking the first of fall, the Earth’s axis of rotation aligns perpendicular to the rays of the Sun. These days are the equinoxes...

It is known that the p-n diode can be the basis of an accurate thermometer for cryogenic temperatures up to about 200 °C. A constant current is maintained through the diode and the voltage across it gives an indication of the temperature...

ams OSRAM reveals the development of its ALIYOS™ LED-on-foil technology, which opens up all-new possibilities for design freedom and creativity in automotive lighting...

Numerous applications require the measurement of very low resistances, including but not limited to fuse integrity analysis, relay characterization, and superconductor evaluation...

Halo Microelectronics announces the launch of its AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified low-IQ synchronous boost controller with spread spectrum...
