I'm sort of curious myself. I've been on the software side of things for a long time, but I have a lot of EE coworkers, and I've been curious about learning a little about building electronics, to the ...

I learned some basic electronics in high school physics class: resistors, capacitors, Kirchhoff’s law and such, and added only what was required for projects as I did them. Then around 15 years ago I ...

In this article, we will explore the basic functions of the Zener Diode. This device resembles a compact cylinder, much like the conventional diode, with two terminals at the ends that can be wired or ...

Metal-insulator-metal (MIM) diodes might just be the technology that allows electronics achieve the next big leap in processing speed. Research into diode design conducted at the Oregon State ...

This video explains how LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) function and why they are widely used in modern electronics. LEDs produce light by emitting energy when electrons recombine with holes in a ...

This course introduces more advanced concepts of switched-mode converter circuits. Realization of the power semiconductors in inverters or in converters having bidirectional power flow is explained.
