Everyone loves a full-wave bridge rectifier, but there’s no denying that they aren’t 100% efficient due to the diode voltage ...

Crowbar circuits have long been the go-to safeguard against overvoltage conditions, prized for their simplicity and ...

Over on YouTube [Lockdown Electronics] reviews an old bit of kit known as the Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR). Invented in the 1950s the SCR is a type of thyristor and they were popular back in ...

A continuity tester that indicates the resistance of, say, PCB traces with musically-related tones, whose pitch changes with ...

Abstract: Design of wide range power supply is a real challenge for designers in these days. Design a switch mode power supply with the ability to work in a wide input range and have acceptable output ...

Abstract: The breakdown voltage (VBD) of each single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) in a large array typically varies due to process variations, leading to variations in excess bias voltage (VEX) and ...
