Engineers usually have access to signal and function generators, as well as frequency counters and oscilloscopes, but they may not have access to capacitance or inductance meters. Using the test setup ...

Last month's column explained that AC current flowing through an inductance reaches its peak amplitude after the voltage. Lagging current is characteristic of an inductive circuit. Capacitive circuits ...

Any PN junction diode can be used as a variable capacitor in reverse biased mode, as well as in the forward biased mode before the knee voltage. The capacitance is usually very small as the junction ...

KAWASAKI, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation ("Toshiba") has launched “DF2B6M4BSL,” an ultra-low capacitance TVS diode for high-frequency antennas. The diode ...

Placement of regulators for core voltage levels closer to the chips that need them Usage of unique materials like ECMs in PCBs and packages to provide power rail capacitance Package-level and ...

Numerous test-and-measurement applications require a high-frequency magnetic field. Oftentimes, high field strength is needed. Examples of such applications include bio-medicine research on the effect ...
