A DC-DC converter is an electro-mechanical device or circuit that transforms a DC voltage from one level to another according to the needs of the circuit. The DC-DC converter, which falls under the ...

Oscillators, also called astable multivibrators, are electronic devices that generate a periodic signal. They are employed in a large number of applications such as clocks, oscillophones, musical ...

Parts 1 and 2 of this series introduced the parts needed to create a satellite image reception system. In this third and final installment, we delve into the use of the software, carrying out a ...

Part 2 of our QSPICE tutorial explores simulation in the transient domain, an essential feature for understanding the behavior of circuits over time. We will cover the simulation of a DC power supply.

This article illustrates a fairly simple method for receiving space-view weather images from NOAA polar satellites, with minimal equipment and with a procedure within everyone’s reach. The reception ...

The latest generation of the Raspberry Pi is available to all users and programmers. Its performance is 2–3 times better than previous models compared to that of the Raspberry Pi 4. Let’s discover its ...

srcnam is the name of an independent voltage or current source. Vstart specifies the initial value of the parameter to be varied. Vstop specifies the final value of the parameter to be varied. Vincr ...

As we have observed in previous parts of this course, in a digital system, signals can take on only two values: high or low. These values are often represented by two voltage levels. The most used ...

For several decades, NAND Flash has been the primary technology for low-cost and large-density data storage applications. This non-volatile memory is present in all major electronic end-use markets, ...

SPICE is a general-purpose circuit simulation program for linear and nonlinear DC, transient and nonlinear and linear AC analysis. Circuits can contain resistors, capacitors, inductors, voltage and ...

Measuring antenna gain patterns is a critical part of evaluating the performance characteristics of an antenna under test. A software-defined radio (SDR) is an economical and flexible radio system ...

Electronics are a hot topic today, and kids are eager to master the fundamentals of this interesting and important branch of technology. Here is a basic electronics course for kids that will teach and ...
