Through-hole assembly means bending leads on components and putting the leads through holes in the circuit board, then soldering them in place, and trimming the wires. That took up too much space and ...

When first learning about and building electronic circuits, the first things all of us come across are passive components such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors. These have easily-understandable ...

Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are the essential building blocks behind almost all modern electronic devices. These components ...

Circuit models are the heart of worst-case circuit analysis (WCCA). For simulations to be valid, you must gather and vet models or create them yourself; you can't usually rely on the manufacturer's ...

Researchers built a silver atomic switch that forms and breaks single-molecule junctions, enabling stable molecular wiring ...

Silver-based atomic switches that create stable electrical connections between individual molecules and electrodes have been ...

QSPICE is an analog and mixed-signal simulator characterized by high simulation speed, accuracy and reliability. It is a new program and can be downloaded here. QSPICE is still in the demonstration ...

Electrical components, like motors close motorA device which spins when current flows through it. Motors are used in fans, food processors and many other devices. and lamps close lampA component which ...

As with the clock, many compelling biological questions centre on how interactions among genes and proteins, forming genetic circuits, give rise to specific cellular functions. Genetic and biochemical ...
