When light strikes the photodiode’s active region, current flows from cathode to anode. Ideally, this entire photocurrent ...

Engineers often use SPICE simulations for operational amplifiers to look at the stability of a proposed circuit. SPICE simulations are particularly frequent for high-speed amplifier applications where ...

Even measuring "simple" passive components such as capacitors is not trivial, if you need high-accuracy results. Learn how to match the technique and instrument to the situation to achieve reliable, ...

Some additional improvement in circuit performance can be achieved over the improved one-BJT current-limited supply by adding one transistor, Q 2, as shown below. Ri of the previous circuit now ...

The actual cost of a custom IC is most likely more than you think. The total cost -- including amortized NRE -- must be considered.
