Using a PN-junction diode for temperature measurement usually depends on its 2‑mV/K temperature coefficient. Conventionally, you must amplify and digitize this voltage with an ADC before you can use ...
Most modern electronic devices consist of several key components: transistors, capacitors, resistors, inductors and diodes. Often, they are supplemented by additional components like crystals and ...
Typically, a power supply is comprised of a power transformer, which is then followed by a conventional bridge rectifier. The bridge rectifier is constructed using four diodes that are interconnected ...
An electronic circuit that converts AC to DC and multiplies the source voltage. Using capacitor/diode pairs, the capacitor stores the source voltage like a charge pump, and the diode rectifies it. The ...
1. A conventional circuit uses a diode after the comparator to rectify the output onto C3. The circuit uses an LT1716 comparator. R2/R3 set up a 10-mV threshold to keep the output normally high, and ...
Full-wave rectifiers with capacitor filters are, without question, the workhorse — and the unsung hero — of the modern electronic world and for the gadgets we have come to enjoy. That being said, it ...
[Todd Harrison] needed a way to run a 12 volt PC fan from mains voltage. Well, we think he really just needed something to keep him occupied on a Sunday, but that’s beside the point. He shows us how ...
Guest columnist Naoyuki Kobayashi, senior product manager at Murata says that one problem frequently encountered when designing LED lighting circuits is that the capacitors in the circuit experience ...
An elementary electronic device. Before the advent of integrated circuits (chips), all electronic components (transistors, resistors, capacitors, diodes) were individually packaged. However, they are ...
