Semiconductor manufacturer Diodes has added new automotive-grade bipolar transistor series, DXTN/P 78Q and DXTN/P 80Q, to its ...

Great Eastern FX has unveiled the latest limited edition stompbox in its Obsolete Devices series, and it is a distortion pedal inspired by the iconic hard-clipping performance of the MXR Distortion+ ...

It isn’t unusual to expect a precisely regulated voltage in an electronic project, but what about times when you need a precise current? Over on EDN, prolific [Stephen Woodward] explains how to use a ...

Many applications using miniature brushed DC motors require motors to operate at more than one load point or through specific load cycles. Running a motor at usable load points requires a variable, ...

A typical reflective object sensor consists of an infrared light emitter diode (IRED) and an NPN silicon phototransistor mounted side-by-side on parallel axes in a compact black plastic housing. The ...

Different reverse-polarity solutions and their effectiveness at providing car battery front-end protection. How a smart diode controller can provide optimal reverse-battery protection. If the battery ...

In this article, we will see how to import a third-party model with QSPICE. The first operation is to have the model of the desired component available in textual format. Typically, their declaration ...

In the realm of modern electronics, semiconductor diodes have emerged as fundamental components with diverse applications. One of their pivotal roles lies in the fields of rectification and voltage ...

Perhaps, that’s the single most popular use for an NPN transistor – driving coils, like relays or solenoids. We are quite used to driving relays with BJTs, typically an NPN – but it doesn’t have to be ...

PartSim allows you to create and simulate electronic circuits online, without the need to install other software on your computer. All you need is an Internet line and, of course, an Internet browser.

LM317 is one of the most popular adjustable regulator chips. The output voltage of the regulator can be adjusted from 1.25V to 35V. However, the chip can deliver currents up to 1.5A which is not ...
