If you search through an electrical engineering textbook, you probably aren’t going to find the phrase “gimmick capacitor” but every old ham radio operator knows about them. They come in handy when ...

If an engineer’s design demands a precision and stable capacitor, she or he will usually turn to NPO-type multi-layer ceramic (MLCC). This old standby is still the best. If you haven’t checked them ...

Understanding power factor (PF) is important because it gives us a clear understanding of the efficiency of an electrical system. Put simply, it’s the ratio of true power and apparent power, which ...

Noise management, induced by digital circuits on a p. c. board assembly, deserves the attention of power supply designers and those mastering digital, analog, and mixed-mode application problems ...
