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...

Up front: some background. The air-temperature sensor attached to my rain gauge became flaky...

A common problem for power-supply designers is to create a compact, dual-polarity step-down converter. If space and cost are not concerns, the obvious solution is a pair of DC/DC converters, one for each output...

High school trigonometry combined with four-quadrant multipliers can be exploited to yield sinusoidal frequency doublers. Nothing non-linear is involved, which means no possibly strident filtering requirements...

Most electronic clocks, be they analog or digital, use a crystal oscillator based on a 32.768 kHz crystal for their reference. In fact, it is same crystal that’s commonly used as a real-time clock for many microcontroller systems...

Simple linear and switching voltage regulators with feedback networks of the type shown in Figure are legion. Their output voltages are the reference voltage at the feedback (FB) pin multiplied by...

Hybrid relays are changing the way we think about switching inside electronic circuits. By combining the fast response of solid-state components with the reliability of mechanical contacts, these devices offer the best of both worlds...
