In this Design Idea, we explore several ways to use SPICE [1-3] circuit analysis software to determine the Thevenin and Norton equivalent circuit parameters of linear active networks. The Thevenin ...

If you got your start in electronics sometime after 1980 your first project might well have been to light up an LED. Microcontroller projects often light up an LED, too, and a blinking LED is ...

This circuit produces a regulated current in a load, the range of which is determined by the tap chosen. The current value within that range is set by a control voltage. This isolated current ...

CMOS current reference circuits play a critical role in modern integrated circuits by providing a stable and reproducible current source that remains unaffected by variations in supply voltage, ...

This is the first of a two-part series on the processes used to find the short circuit current duties of circuit breakers and fuses. In Part 1, we’ll use a simplified power system to illustrate the ...

The application of Aerial Spacer Cable Systems (ASCS) in heavily treed areas is very common amongst electric utilities. There are a number of other applications including multiple-circuits, long-spans ...
