If you got your start in electronics sometime after 1980 your first project might well have been to light up an LED. Microcontroller projects often light up an LED, too, and a blinking LED is ...

If you think about an asylum, there are two kinds of people in it: staff and patients. We aren’t sure which one [Nick Lucid] is in the latest The Science Asylum video that tries to answer the question ...

The simplest complete circuit is a piece of wire from one end of a battery to the other. An electric current can flow in the wire from one end of the battery to the other, but nothing useful happens.

“What we've experimentally found in our recent work is that a certain amount of heat can promote the chemical conversion ...

ROHM’s ultra-compact complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) operational amplifier (op amp) TLR1901GXZ achieves the ...

Originally, current was defined as the flow of charge from positive to negative. Scientists later discovered that current is actually the flow of electrons, from negative to positive. The original ...

Excessive current flow must be prevented so that the electrical circuit can be reliably protected. Using a current limiter in boost converters for circuit protection. An easy-to-implement design idea ...

Board-level designers often have concerns about the proper way to handle grounding for integrated circuits (ICs) which have separate analog and digital grounds. Should the two be completely separate ...
