If you want to replicate the music of your favorite musicians, you will need to know the pedal effect devices they use and the circuitry within them. Furthermore, if you want to design new pedal ...

All circuits, analog or digital, have characteristics dependent on the values of their component parts. Invariably, these parts are non-ideal in many ways. Even their most fundamental characteristics, ...

Circuits that carry femtoamperes of current have many subtleties that you wouldn’t normally consider in the design and layout of conventional circuitry. If you overlook these subtleties, the circuit ...

AI is vying for circuit and embedded-system design jobs, but in 2025, it still requires a seasoned engineer to ride shotgun. Insight into AI and its use as a tool to design circuits and embedded ...

In a balanced op-amp circuit, the op-amp inputs see equal impedances looking into the circuit. Balanced circuits provide better performance by cancelling some input errors and have a simple R F /R I ...

Reviewing a typical protective device trip curve (click here to see Fig. 2), it can be divided into three regions. First is the “instantaneous region,” which is the region intended to interrupt ...

The 555 timer is one of the most versatile integrated circuits available. It can generate PWM signals, tones, and single-shot pulses. You can even put one in a bi-stable mode similar to a flip flop.

Founder and CEO Sergiy Nesterenko, a former SpaceX engineer, decided to start Quilter to automate the electronics design process and help business save time and labor ...
