Wireless communications took a small leap forward today with the announcement that researchers have created a functional integrated circuit smaller than a grain of salt. The circuit is a broadband ...

comprise a transformer, rectifier, and filter capacitor. Many single-voltage power suppliesconsist of a transformer, arectifier, and a filter capacitor, as shownin Figure 1. This circuit is ...

No matter what portable power source you use, the lower the starting voltage your circuitry operates at, the better. A lower startup voltage also maximizes runtime. Furthermore, to completely ...

Electronic circuits typically operate from regulated positive output voltages, often provided by buck regulators. If a negative output voltage is also required, the same buck controller often can be ...
