Go to a hunting ground for Coyotes, Crocodiles, or Jaguars to find the alphas - they spawn randomly and are a bit rare, and you need to kill them with a bow or throwing knife to ensure you don't ruin ...

A Planet Analog article, “2N3904: Why use a 60-year-old transistor?” by Bill Schweber, inspired some interest in this old transistor and how it’s commonly used, and if any uncommon uses might exist.

A friend recently sent me an email noting that the classic 2N3904 bipolar transistor was now 60 years old. Since its “birth” was before I got involved with basic electronics, that callout was ...

Sensors monitoring mechanical and biological systems must often scavenge power from the thing being sensed. The oscillator circuits shown here let you operate those sensors. Sensor circuits that ...

Here, Doug Mercer and Antoniu Miclaus of Analog Devices explore Zener diode regulators. A voltage regulator is a circuit used to maintain a constant output voltage at a load independent of changes in ...

Article 225 provides installation requirements for outside branch circuits and feeders that run on (or between) structures or poles (Fig. 1). The NEC differentiates between buildings and structures, ...

Most electronic and electric devices require a voltage within certain limits. If the voltage applied is higher than normal, the current drawn by the circuit may exceed the rated value and damage the ...

At the risk of dating myself, I’m old enough to remember the days when Best Buy had a formidable rival in superstore chains: Circuit City. A cross between an appliance store (at least until it stopped ...

Abstract: This article introduce a circuit design method for audio signal two-way frequency division and power amplification, which utilizes amplifier circuits and active crossover networks. Two AD603 ...
