Don’t get zapped when buying a new high-voltage DC power supply. Understand the specifications first. Lasers, linear accelera-tors, X-ray machines, defibrillators, radar, and numerous other ...

You need to know how to measure the current that flows through a component in a circuit and the voltage across it. The ammeter must be connected in series with the component – remember, in a series ...

The voltmeter is connected in parallel with the component. The supply voltage is shared between components in a series circuit, so the sum of the voltages across all of the components in a series ...

High-capacity, multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC) have a property often not well understood by electronic designers: the capacitance of these devices varies with applied DC voltage. This phenomenon ...

The 6000 Series Ethernet-based data-acquisition (DAQ) modules rely on easy-to-use software for temperature and voltage measurements. The 6000 Series Ethernet-based data-acquisition (DAQ) modules rely ...

Previous installments of this series discussed the need to verify SPICE model accuracy and how to measure the output impedance and small-signal bandwidth of operational amplifier (op amp) models. In ...
