The transport properties of a coherent conductor depend on the surrounding circuit. First, electronic quantum interferences blend the conductor with its vicinity, resulting in a different coherent ...

The pristine, regimented symmetry of digital circuit boards is occasionally interrupted by an irregular huddle of linear components. These aberrants are tolerated because they perform a variety of ...

When we think about signals and systems, we often do so with an emphasis on creating and transmitting signals with specific characteristics. That is, we want the signal to have some desired amplitude, ...

A variety of linear models are available to represent common active electronic devices such as transistors and vacuum tubes. Devices operating under large-signal conditions often require nonlinear ...

A comparator is an electronic component that outputs different voltage results at the output by comparing the magnitude of the current or voltage at the two inputs. This article describes the ...

Bob Widlar (1937-1991) is without a doubt one of the most famous hardware engineers of all time. In fact, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he is the person who single-handedly started the ...

Many improvements to the follower circuit have been proposed over the years. The White cathode follower doubles the output current and makes the transfer function more linear. 1 Adding a common-base ...

the industry’s first three-terminal adjustable voltage regulator, the first bipolar low-dropout regulator and has designed a couple of dozen circuits which each pulled in over $100 million revenues.

We were recently tipped off to quite a resource — on the Texas Instruments website, there’s a page where you can view and download a compendium of analog sub-circuits. Individual circuits can be ...
