Board-level designers often have concerns about the proper way to handle grounding for integrated circuits (ICs) which have separate analog and digital grounds. Should the two be completely separate ...

For electricity to flow, everything needs to be connected in a big ring. It’s called a circuit. For example, the lights in most houses and flats are part of a circuit controlled by the consumer unit, ...

This video explains how diodes function as directional components in electronic circuits. Diodes allow current to flow in ...

There are many cases where a power supply needs an internal current-limiter function, usually built using a current sensor, a control circuit, and a pass transistor. The current sensor itself can be a ...

If you are an EE you definitely know the answer to this, or at least you think you do. If you said positive to negative, you are wrong. Then you remember that current flow is a charge of electrons ...

Sensing and/or controlling current flow is a fundamental requirement in many electronics systems, and the techniques to do so are as diverse as the applications themselves. This Application Note ...

This video explains what a diode is and how it controls the direction of current in electronic circuits. Diodes allow current to flow in only one direction, making them essential for rectification, ...

Q. The Code prohibits "objectionable currents;" what is this, what are some examples, and how can it be prevented? A. Section 250.6 of the 2011 NEC addresses objectionable current. First of all, the ...
