To measure resistance, you usually have to take the resistor to be tested out of the circuit, and sometimes that’s impossible. If you’re using a multimeter, measuring very small resistances is ...

In switched-mode power supplies (SMPS), magnetic components, namely inductors and transformers, play critical roles. Much of the SMPS design process relies on component specifications and simulation ...

Current sensing is on a trajectory to intersect with the global high-voltage trend of robust, high-performing systems. Discover the tradeoffs between isolated shunt-based, closed-loop Hall-effect, and ...

Editor’s note: I am pleased to have Gustavo Castro as this month’s RAQ author. Castro is a system applications engineer in the Linear and Precision Technology Group in Wilmington, MA. His main ...

Modern digital oscilloscopes offer a host of analysis capabilities since they digitize and store input waveforms for analysis. Most oscilloscopes offer basic math operations such as addition, ...
