The transport properties of a coherent conductor depend on the surrounding circuit. First, electronic quantum interferences blend the conductor with its vicinity, resulting in a different coherent ...

The pristine, regimented symmetry of digital circuit boards is occasionally interrupted by an irregular huddle of linear components. These aberrants are tolerated because they perform a variety of ...

The Linear Circuit Design Handbook runs 960 pages and tips the scales at nearly four pounds. Edited by senior apps engineer Hank Zumbahlen, it’s a product of Analog Devices’ engineering staff, meaning ...

A variety of linear models are available to represent common active electronic devices such as transistors and vacuum tubes. Devices operating under large-signal conditions often require nonlinear ...

When we think about signals and systems, we often do so with an emphasis on creating and transmitting signals with specific characteristics. That is, we want the signal to have some desired amplitude, ...

Designers often use mathematical models to predict how mechanical and electrical systems will behave. The details expressed by these models, like significant digits in an equation, go only as deep as ...

We were recently tipped off to quite a resource — on the Texas Instruments website, there’s a page where you can view and download a compendium of analog sub-circuits. Individual circuits can be ...

Components which show I–V graphs that are not straight lines are non-linear circuit elements. The current through them is not directly proportional to the potential difference across them. Non-linear ...
