There’s a small, silent component hiding in almost every electronic device—from your phone and laptop to your TV and charger.

From instrument amplifiers to precision analog circuits to geophones, resistor networks are used in a variety of applications. Each has its own unique requirements, but none more stringent than the ...

Designers of instruments or control systems often find that component performance limits overall equipment performance in areas such as stability, frequency response, noise, and ESD. This is ...

But, it turns out, a thermometer has been part of photonic chips all along.

The discovery eliminates the need for bulky external sensors and could make future photonic chips—used in data centers, ...

Hackaday Editors Elliot Williams and Tom Nardi meet up virtually to talk about the week’s top stories and hacks, such as the fine art of resistor trimming and lessons learned from doing overseas ...

A fourth circuit element called memristor (the first three being resistors, capacitors and inductors) has been proposed since 1971, but HP labs has finally made a working physical model of the thing.

With modern microcontrollers, the process of interfacing with the analogue world is easy. Simply enable the on-board DAC or ADC, and talk to the world. If you’ve ever done this with a slightly older ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. The vision of electric vehicles (EVs) as a primary transportation platform is slowly coming of age. EVs are moving away from being seen as eclectic to ...

The new RAVS series from Stackpole offers stable reliable performance in a wide variety of environments including those with high amounts of sulfur. Stackpole's proprietary process and materials with ...
