A DC-DC converter is an electro-mechanical device or circuit that transforms a DC voltage from one level to another according to the needs of the circuit. The DC-DC converter, which falls under the ...

A wide-bandgap (WBG) semiconductor diode is shown in Figure 1, denoted with the letter D. When we talk about the output voltage associated with a sinusoidal input, we are referring to temperatures ...

Oscillators, also called astable multivibrators, are electronic devices that generate a periodic signal. They are employed in a large number of applications such as clocks, oscillophones, musical ...

QSPICE is an analog and mixed-signal simulator characterized by high simulation speed, accuracy and reliability. It is a new program and can be downloaded here. QSPICE is still in the demonstration ...

As we have observed in previous parts of this course, in a digital system, signals can take on only two values: high or low. These values are often represented by two voltage levels. The most used ...

In the early digital era, logic gates were made exclusively of transistors and discrete components. The obvious occupation of a large space and increased heat dissipation pushed technology to ...

For several decades, NAND Flash has been the primary technology for low-cost and large-density data storage applications. This non-volatile memory is present in all major electronic end-use markets, ...

Automobiles are moving toward electrification and automation at a rapid pace. According to a report from BloombergNEF, the total value of passenger electric vehicles sold has now surpassed $1 trillion ...

Digital or logical uncertainty, also known as the “uncertainty zone” or “transition zone,” is a phenomenon that occurs when the digital signal is in a voltage range where the value of the signal could ...

The previous article discussed the concept of logic propositions and how they can be used to create fundamental electronic circuits. In this article, another important aspect of digital electronics ...

Measuring antenna gain patterns is a critical part of evaluating the performance characteristics of an antenna under test. A software-defined radio (SDR) is an economical and flexible radio system ...

The WT32-SC01 is a development board with a visual touchscreen (see Figure 1). The board supports drag-and-drop graphical programming to help less experienced users develop solutions. The main ...
