There are standard designations and symbols that describe how electrical contacts work in specific scenarios. These designations spell out the number of contacts and how they behave during operation.

The current-mode or peak-current-regulating switching converter is a familiar, almost dominant, power supply circuit consisting of few parts and is usually designed with “cookbook” procedures from PWM ...

The scientists are going to show us how electrical energy flows around an electrical circuit. Title: Circuit symbols This is what a battery looks like as a circuit symbol. Electricity can travel ...

We were recently tipped off to quite a resource — on the Texas Instruments website, there’s a page where you can view and ...

A previous Design Idea outlined a relatively simple circuit in which a momentary pushbutton could be made to function like a latching, mechanical switch. The article generated a good deal of reader ...

Archaic light switches might as well be from the stone age. All they do is turn a light on and off. They can't dim lighting gently or remember the brightness level you prefer. Outdated switches don't ...
