Last month's column covered the behavior of electrical components connected in series and demonstrated that when a voltage is applied across a series circuit, the current through each component is the ...

Situation: You’re an IT person new to radio broadcast engineering and are given the keys to an AM transmitter site. The manager says to go out and get familiar with the equipment. The site reminds you ...

A quartz crystal’s electrical equivalent model is that of a series tuned circuit in parallel with a capacitor, giving it some of the properties of both a parallel and a series tuned circuit. It ...

Ideal capacitors only exist in textbooks. Every real-world capacitor has additional complexity arising from its physical structure. Two plates separated by a dielectric layer are in series with wire ...

Last month's column explained that AC current flowing through an inductance reaches its peak amplitude after the voltage. Lagging current is characteristic of an inductive circuit. Capacitive circuits ...

The LTM4644 integrates four separate constant frequency controlled on-time valley current-mode regulators, power MOSFETs, inductors, and other supporting discrete components (Fig. 1). Each of the four ...
