This video explains the role of resistors in electronic circuits and how Ohm’s Law defines the relationship between voltage, ...

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 ...

Component makers often publish data that is erroneous, vague, incomplete, and frequently misleading. What is surprising is that engineers are willing to accept the manufacturer-supplied data at face ...

Electronic devices are built from many different parts. Understanding how these components work together is key to understanding electronics. Circuit diagrams use symbols to represent each component, ...

Electronics-loving orthodontic clinician Dr. Mark Brickley has developed a collection of electronic circuit-building experiments, tested them on unsuspecting colleagues, and then squeezed them into a ...

Mark McDonnell holds an Australian Research Fellowship funded by the Australian Research Council. He also receives funding from the National Health and Medical Research Council. He is affiliated with ...

Though it may be adequate in some cases, a design where the components are chosen without giving due consideration to the information contained in the data sheet may not be the optimum one. A device's ...
