To calculate the resistance of the series resistor required, we need to look at the current and voltage values recommended by the LED manufacturer. Suppose a manufacturer recommends a maximum voltage ...

Situation: You’re an IT person new to radio broadcast engineering and are given the keys to an AM transmitter site. The manager says to go out and get familiar with the equipment. The site reminds you ...

When resistors are connected in series, the current through each resistor is the same. In other words, the current is the same at all points in a series circuit. When resistors are connected in series ...

You can make all sorts of different types of inductors, but the most common type is cylindrical coil of wire---a solenoid. When current runs through the first loop, it creates a magnetic field that ...

[Editor's Note: This tech bite was originally posted on the Fairchild Semiconductor website. Richard Chung, the applications manager at Fairchild, would like to bring these tech briefs from his team ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. Transistors and ICs are considered active components because they change signals using energy from the power supply. Capacitors, ...
