Many people who get analog electronics still struggle a bit to design oscillators. Even common simulators often need a trick...
Few electronic ICs can claim to be as famous as the 555 timer. Maybe part of the reason is that...
For circuit simulation, we have always been enthralled with the Falstad simulator which is a simple, Spice-like simulator that runs...
The 555 timer is one of the most versatile integrated circuits available. It can generate PWM signals, tones, and single-shot...
Battery management is a tedious but necessary problem that becomes more of a hassle with lithium-ion technology. As we’re all...
In the days before integrated circuits became ubiquitous, providing advanced functionality in a single package, designers became adept at extracting...
We have all seen Printed Circuit Board (PCB) antennas: those squiggly bits of traces on PCBs connected often to a...
First, it was the WiFi router: my ancient WRT54G that had given me nearly two decades service. Something finally gave out in...
If you are an old hand at RF design, you probably have a good handle on matching impedance. However, if...
Perhaps the second most famous law in electronics after Ohm’s law is Moore’s law: the number of transistors that can be...
