Using circuit simulating software like SPICE can be a powerful tool for modeling the behavior of a circuit in the real world. On the other hand, it’s not always necessary to have all of the features ...

Analog Circuit Analysis can be difficult. Consider the circuit below. It includes a Series Resonant Circuit. With Ideal Impedances, the Series Impedance is equal to zero at the resonant frequency. A ...

All engineers know resistance is usually bad news. It generates heat. It reduces efficiency. It wears out components and cuts operational lifetimes. However, resistance is not the only kind of ...

Analog Devices references guard shields around their op amps as well as the printed circuit traces [1]. These traces are called guard rings; they circle and shield critical circuits. Another ...

RCD uplift. If you’ve ever tested a circuit and got higher readings than expected, chances are uplift was the reason. Here’s what RCD uplift is, why it matters, and how Megger’s True Loop® technology ...

All transformers have nameplates, and all manufacturers use the same nomenclature for capacity, ratings, impedance, and other pertinent information. This article focuses on dry- or oil-type ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Generating a high-frequency magnetic field can be quite a challenge due to an assortment of technical issues. At high ...
