I am Kevin Chen, I graduated from University of Electronic Science and Technology of China in 2000. I am an electrical and electronic engineer with 23 years of experience, in charge of writting content for ICRFQ. I am willing use my experiences to create reliable and necessary electronic information to help our readers. We welcome readers to engage with us on various topics related to electronics such as IC chips, capacitors, resistors, inductors, circuit breakers, diode, transistor, module, relay, opticalcoupler, connectors, PCBs, etc. Please feel free to share your thoughts and questions on these subjects with us. We look forward to hearing from you!
Image Source: FreeImages Linear integrated circuits (also known as L-ICs or LICS) are semiconductor devices with a linear transfer function, hence the name. They are commonly used in applications where high signal fidelity is required such as analog video and audio, industrial automation, medical imaging, motion control, and other sensor-based applications. Armed with this knowledge,…
Image Source: FreeImages Integrated circuit (IC) temperature range is a specification that determines the operating temperatures of an IC and its limits. Integrated circuits have many different applications in electronics and computer design. They are key components of modern electronics because they perform specific functions. ICs are smaller, faster, and more efficient than older solutions…
Image Source: Maker.pro So you want to know how to troubleshoot an integrated circuit. Great! Troubleshooting skills are a must for any engineer in any discipline. The problem is, troubleshooting something as complex as an integrated circuit can seem like a daunting task. Luckily, it’s not as hard as you think – with the…
Image Source: FreeImages Integrated circuit manufacturing is a process that involves several different machines. The equipment used in this process, which can be challenging and time-consuming, can also be very expensive. Before you make any purchases, it is important to understand what each of these machines does, as well as their function within the integrated…
Image Source: Mechanicbase You may not know it, but your car has a hidden defense system. It’s called the catalytic converter, and it’s designed to protect you from harmful emissions. That makes the catalytic converter one of the most important parts in your car. But what exactly is a catalytic converter? How does it work?…
Image Source: Reddit A thermistor is a type of resistor that changes its resistance based on the temperature of whatever it’s connected to. It’s used in devices like microcontrollers or other digital electronics that need to sense heat, and it’s one of the simplest ways to do that. This article will explain everything you need…
Image Source: FreeImages Occasionally an IC may develop a fault and need to be fixed. This can be tricky as they are very small and delicate. If you don’t handle them correctly you could end up making the problem worse or even destroy the IC completely. Here are tips on how to troubleshoot and fix…
Image Source: FreeImages Keeping track of circuit board connectors can be a challenge, especially when you are working with multiple boards. Sometimes these components can become separated. But even if your circuit board connectors do not get separated from the board, they can present challenges in other ways. The metal housing on these connectors makes…
Image Source: Unsplash The world of electronics and programming can seem daunting at first. Programming integrated circuits (ICs) is not an easy task, especially if you’re just beginning to learn how to program ICs. However, the potential applications of IC programming are nearly endless. You may wonder why anyone would want to program ICs in…
Image Source: FreeImages So, you want to remove an integrated circuit? But you are worried about one major problem: You may end up damaging it. These microchips are very delicate, however, and if you aren’t careful when removing them from the parent circuit, you run the risk of damaging the integrated circuit so severely that…
