While passive precharge employs a power resistor to create an RC circuit that charges the capacitor asymptotically, active precharge can employ a switching converter with a buck topology that uses ...

The following application note shows how to create a circuit that converts the low output current from a photo-diode into a fast-responding voltage. To view the application note, click on the URL ...

Every few weeks, it seems, yet another lab proclaims yet another breakthrough in the race to perfect solid-state batteries: ...

Thanks to an awareness that design affects children’s development, playrooms are no longer ‘the worst room in the house.’ You may even want to hang out there. By Tim McKeough If you were a child again ...
