In Figure 1, the 5V linear regulator (U1) delivers as much as 150mA of load current when operating by itself. Operating with the external pass transistor shown (Q1), the circuit maintains 5V ...

The LDA203 is a dual optocoupler integrated circuit featuring a single-transistor output in a unidirectional input. It features 100 mA continuous load rating typically used in telecom switching and ...

This resource provides clear explanations of how switching regulators work and how voltage boosting is achieved efficiently ...

Modeling the performance of an analog device with SPICE is one of the standard techniques used by circuit designers to perform initial characterization and performance analysis before putting together ...

Sometimes I wish FETs had become practical before bipolar transistors. A FET is a lot more like a tube and amplifies voltages. Bipolar transistors amplify current and that makes them a bit harder to ...

There appears to be 16 large transisitors which were mounted to the heatsink of this amplifier. It is a Planet Audio 4 channel car audio amp. From some quick Google searching, it looks like I should ...

Engineers are starting to build hardware that does not just run artificial intelligence, it behaves like a primitive form of ...
