The tips documented in this column are sure to help you design your circuits better; they will help with debugging, simulation, referencing, and much more Most of the time, the circuit diagrams and ...

High-speed circuit design is one of the most fundamental, yet challenging areas of electronics design. High-speed circuits are commonly used today, as standards like USB, HDMI, and PCIe require most ...

In vehicle electrical systems, a high- to low-voltage DC/DC converter is a reversible electronic device that changes the DC from the vehicle’s high-voltage (400 V or 800 V) battery to a lower DC ...

The diagram above is a typical PCB layout in Altium Circuitmaker software. The days of “electro” and “mechanical” being separate disciplines are long gone. Virtually all mechanical systems now come ...

Use of buck-boost circuits in switching-regulator ICs. Considerations in level-shift circuit design. Switching regulators with internal level shifting. The magnitude of the negative voltage generated ...

The 555 timer is one of the most versatile integrated circuits available. It can generate PWM signals, tones, and single-shot pulses. You can even put one in a bi-stable mode similar to a flip flop.
