Author’s note: This article shows how to derive circuit gain equations via a signal flow graph. With practice you may be able to write a gain equation by locating signal paths and loops in the ...

In addition, since all waveforms are constant-valued at equilibrium points, and so capacitors act as open circuits and inductors act as short circuits. There in lies the basic algorithm for computing ...

How to use statistical tools for component tolerance analysis. A look at methods such as Monte Carlo and Gaussian distribution. Simulating a dc-dc converter in LTspice to model closed-loop voltage ...

What do series and parallel circuits have to do with Christmas lights? In this episode of Crash Course Physics, Shini walks us through the differences between series and parallel circuits and how that ...

Analyzing failures in printed circuit boards (PCBs) is critical to ensure the functionality and reliability of electronic devices. A synopsis of the methods and techniques utilized in PCB failure ...

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) poses a significant challenge in the design and operation of integrated circuits, frequently leading to soft failures where transient malfunctions disrupt normal ...

The past decade has witnessed a renewed interest in cortical local field potentials (LFPs) — that is, extracellularly recorded potentials with frequencies of up to about 500 Hz. Key reasons for this ...

How analog signal engineering is performed, in broad strokes. What are the component-selection considerations for new designs? What are VFAs and how are they used? Analog signal engineers specialize ...
