Darlington transistor is invented in 1953, by a US electrical engineer and inventor, Sidney Darlington. Darlington transistor uses two standard BJT (Bi-polar junction transistor) transistors which are connected together. Darlington transistor connected in a configuration where one of transistor’s emitter provides biased current to the other transistor’s base.

Analog Devices presented the AD5758 DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter), which includes company’s second-generation DPC (Dynamic Power Control).

AD5758 have DPC to enable high density AOUT modules without requiring de-rating, which results in low cost, and more compact design. De-rating means system need to turn off channels due to thermal increase. AD5758 is lowest power industrial DAC,…

In this tutorial, we will learn about Wein Bridge Oscillator which was developed by a German physicist Max Wien. It is originally developed for calculating the capacitance where the resistance and the frequency are known. Before going to the further in depth discussion about what actually the Wein Bridge Oscillator and how it is used, let’s see what is Oscillator and what…

An oscillator is a mechanical or electronic construction which produces oscillation depending on few variables. We all have devices which need oscillators, traditional clock that we all have in our home as a wall clock or wristwatch, various type of metal detectors, computers where microcontroller and microprocessors are involved all…

Previously we described about Passive High Pass Filter and Active Low Pass Filter, now it is time for Active High pass filter. Let’s explore what is an Active High Pass Filter.

Same as like passive low pass filter, passive high pass filter works with passive components, Resistor…

Previously we described passive low pass filter, in this tutorial we will explore what is an Active Low Pass Filter.

As we know from previous tutorial, Passive low pass filter works with passive components. Only two passive components resistor and capacitor is the key or heart of a passive low pass filter…

Previously, we discussed the Passive Low Pass Filter; now it is time to look into the passive high pass filter. A passive high pass filter is an electronic circuit that allows high-frequency signals to pass while blocking low frequencies below a predetermined cutoff point. 

Same as before, if you look into the name, it shows “Passive”, “High…

These AC circuits series has taken us on a journey which has seen us discuss what AC really is all about, how its generated, some histories, concepts behind AC, its waveform, characteristics and some properties. Today we will be going over some terms and quantities associated with the Alternating Current.

This tutorial is about Passive Low Pass Filter, a widely used term in Electronics. You will hear or use this ‘technical’ term almost every time in your studies or in your professional career. Let’s explore what is special about this technical term.

Let’s start from the name. Do you know what is passive?…

Analog AI Accelerator Chip will accelerate the origination of AI technologies into embedded devices which have been difficult until now.

Toshiba has invented an ultra-low-power analog AI accelerator chip for an embedded system. This technology performs the multiply-accumulate operation, which reports for the…

TI's new operational amplifier and comparators reduce overall system footprint in IoT, personal electronics, and industrial applications

Texas Instruments introduced the industry’s smallest op-amp and low power comparators at 0.64 mm2. Manufactured in compact X2SON package, the TLV9061 op-amp and TLV7011 family of…

As established in the first part of AC Circuit Theory, when a magnet rotates around a coil or a coil rotates around a magnetic field, an Alternating current or voltage is generated. The rotation of either the magnet or the coil which leads to the periodic alternation in direction and magnitude of the Voltage (or current) leads to the generation of some sort of…
