The often-quoted Moore 's Law says that we can expect processors to double in capacity every 18 months. And that has held true. Now computer scientists warn that - without some significant ...

Figure 1a shows a latching circuit based on an optocoupler, IC 1. If the off switch remains closed, pressing the on switch powers the LED in the optocoupler. Thus, the transistor in IC 1 turns on. You ...

Most switching power-supply controllers provide non-latching fault protection. Satisfying a requirement for a latchoff response to a fault often requires the addition of excessive and redundant ...

For some of us, there are few sounds more satisfying than the deep resonant “thunk” of a high quality toggle switch slamming into position. There isn’t an overabundance of visceral experiences when ...

A transistor is a key component in electronics, often used as a switch or to amplify a signal from a sensor. NPN (negative-positive-negative) transistors are the most used transistor. An illustration ...
