voltage divider

When we do textbook analysis, we tend to ignore the real-world concerns for the sake of learning. So, a typical theoretical voltage divider is simply two resistors. But if you examine a low-pass RC ...

Circuit VR: Sink Or Swim With Current Sources

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 ...

Vertically stacked, low-voltage organic ternary logic circuits including nonvolatile floating-gate memory transistors

Researchers demonstrate “a low-voltage organic ternary logic circuit, in which the organic HTR was vertically integrated with the organic nonvolatile flash memory.” “Multi-valued logic (MVL) circuits ...

Revise: Practical electrical and electronic circuits

Process devices operate when an input level, such as voltage, reaches the required value for the device to operate. The transistor is on, when the input voltage is greater than or equal to \(0.7 V\).

Building a JFET voltage-tuned Wien bridge oscillator

Since the derivation of the Wien network by Physicist Max Wien (prior work was the ballistic bridge by J. C. Maxwell) in 1891, this network has been used in many oscillators’ designs. One of the most ...

Lesson 4

In this lesson, students build two circuits and explore how transistors function. When Bell Labs introduced the transistor in June of 1948, a spokesman proudly announced "This cylindrical object . . .
