When current flows through a conductor it becomes an inductor, when there is an inductor there is an electromagnetic field (EM). This can cause a variety of issues during PCB layout if you don’t plan ...

The project utilizes a PIC16F84A microcontroller to produce one of the most accurate and simplest LC inductance/capacitance meter which allows direct measurements of small inductance starting from ...

Don Tuite's "Best" analog/mixed-signal product of 2013 is a 24-bit, repeatable, precision linear and rotary position sensor devices that has so many uses it should be adopted by the Swiss Army. Don’t ...

Passive circuits for power factor correction (PFC) are simple, reliable, robust, and they don't generate EMI [1-4]. Plus, they offer a low-cost alternative for complying with harmonic current limit ...

Inductance is the link between electric circuits and magnetic fields. Voltage and current sine waves are in-phase when they peak and cross the zero axis at the same time. However, this rarely happens ...

When comparing published electrical values, engineers require a common basis for comparison. Ideally, a 100 nH inductor with a self resonant frequency (SRF) of 1 GHz from one manufacturer is ...
