The last installment of Analog Domain derived the value for the Miller capacitance—the effective impedance between the collector and the base of a bipolar transistor in a common-emitter configuration ...

A subject rarely found in circuit design textbooks is the matter of nonlinear junction capacitance, especially reverse-bias junction capacitance, also called depletion capacitance. When it is ...

A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230314495A1) describes a capacitance measurement circuit that includes an analog front-end circuit, a parasitic capacitor, an analog to digital ...

Over the past decade, demand for nano-electrical characterization has rapidly increased due to the continuous miniaturization of electronic devices. The semiconductor and microelectronics industries ...

In the old days every instrument or system had a power supply board with discrete, homemade regulators on it to power the system. Then IC’s like the LM7805 series of voltage regulators changed ...

Ferroelectric materials, which were discovered nearly a hundred years ago, and have led to a huge range of applications, including digital information storage and neuromorphic computing, are still not ...

Measuring tiny differences in high-voltage circuits usually requires specialized differential test probes, which are often expensive. Fortunately, it’s possible to build your own high-voltage probe ...

Engineers need to fit components into small power supplies. These capacitors help make electronics smaller while keeping performance and safety.
