Last month's column covered the behavior of electrical components connected in series and demonstrated that when a voltage is applied across a series circuit, the current through each component is the ...

The use of electronic equipment in industrial, commercial and residential environments continues to grow exponentially. All require power to operate and all are significantly impacted by complex power ...

To understand a series circuit, visualize it. You can do that by making a drawing. Just draw a box, to start with. This box represents your circuit. Notice there is only one path: the perimeter of the ...

Markets are fundamentally human, and therefore fueled by human emotions, including anxiety and fear. When such emotions get excessive, market-wide circuit breakers can come into play. These mechanisms ...

Kids who fall in love with technology and engineering have never had it better. There's no shortage of websites and tutorial videos and hardware kits meant to teach them the fundamentals of crafting ...

After the critical circuits, we like to examine the printed-circuit board (PCB) stackup. Like the schematic, board stackup decisions are often made prior to routing and placement, so this is a good ...

Microchip Technology has introduced the MPLAB® PICkit™ Basic in-circuit debugger, aimed at making its advanced programming and debugging capabilities more accessible to engineers at all skill levels.
