pSemi Corporation, a Murata company announced the introduction of a new high-performance mmWave SPDT RF switch: the PE42528...

Solar events have destroyed grids, set wires on fire, downed satellites. Are we ready for the next big one?...

With a fortnight’s struggle, I completed the design of 4 mA to 20 mA, two-wire temperature transmitter using a platinum resistance temperature detector (RTD) sensor, as shown in Figure...

At its invention roughly four decades ago, STM created a sensation because it was the first technology to make atomic-scale-resolution imaging a routine procedure. An essential requirement for the practical application of STM is some means for the reproducible fabrication of supersharp, atomic-scale needle tips...

The voltage booster is a 'true' charge pump. When the output of the 555 is low...

Vishay Intertechnology announced the release of its latest isolation amplifiers, the VIA0050DD, VIA0250DD, and VIA2000SD. These new devices offer enhanced performance for a wide range of industrial, automotive, and medical applications...

In this second part, we’ll turn that semi-decency into something even more respectable, concentrating on minimizing distortion and ignoring the siren song of raw power...

These ultra-simple projects are intended to provide two simple functions without the need for transformers or 'esoteric' parts...

When audio power amplifiers oscillate, the result is often smoke, perhaps with a well-cooked PCB and a side order of fried tweeter. This two-part Design Idea (DI) shows some interesting ways of (mis-)using a common power amp to produce deliberate oscillations of varying qualities...

The circuit adds a soft muting switch with power-up/power-down muting to a line-level audio circuit...
