(Nanowerk Spotlight) A memory chip is an integrated circuit made of millions of transistors and capacitors. In the most common form of computer memory, dynamic random access memory (DRAM), a ...

A snubber circuit limits voltage spikes in power converters. Snubbers are also used in the output of Class-D audio amplifiers for the same reasons (Fig. 1). When the transistor you use to switch the ...

With just three transistors, one relay, and some resistors and capacitors, a single light switch can provide sophisticated control of high-power and low-power lamps. With just three transistors, one ...

You know them, you love them, you take them for granted – they are single push button on/off switches. As [Dino] explains in the most recent episode of his Hack a Week series, they are typically ...

Most modern electronic devices consist of several key components: transistors, capacitors, resistors, inductors and diodes. Often, they are supplemented by additional components like crystals and ...
