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!
Isolation is quite a common term in the field of electronics. It is basically a measure of the ability of an electronic device to resist unwanted electrical and/or magnetic interference. It is a method of reducing undesirable external influences on a circuit. The isolation can be achieved by using different techniques like capacitance, inductance, or…
Power density is one of the most ignored topics in engineering, even though most engineers are familiar with it. Most think that it is not a big deal. This article presents an overview of power density by highlighting its basics and all the aspects you should know. In other words, you will learn more about…
To figure out how much horsepower a horse has, we must first define horsepower. It’s a measurement of a device’s ability to accomplish mechanical work in terms of power. Hp (Horsepower) or bhp (Bhp) are the abbreviations for horsepower (brake horsepower). If you’re like most people, you’d say: A horse’s horsepower is one; that’s why…
This post outlines the main differences between inductors and capacitors. Features such as fundamental definitions, physical properties, type of storage, the relationship between voltage and current flow, and applications are considered. Regardless of their differences, capacitors and inductors are the two most used electronic instruments. Capacitors and inductors are designed for energy efficiency and to…
The digital interface is often the limiting factor for throughput as data converter rates grow. The current serial standard, JESD204B, from the Joint Electron Device Engineering Council (JEDEC), is constrained by lane speed and wasteful 8B/10B coding. This is addressed in JESD204 revision C, but what does this mean for board layout and protocol implementation?…
Every new technology and product has a rich history behind it. This applies to the vacuum tube. In this article, we are going to analyze the history of vacuum tubes. The vacuum tube was invented in 1907 by Lee De Forest. This was the first multi-element vacuum tube. It was made of three elements, anode,…
In most applications, photodiodes are used for converting light into electric current or even voltage. However, in major and more demanding applications, photodiodes are not that effective. Instead, photosensitive integrated circuits are preferred. In this guide, we are going to analyze everything you should know about photosensitive integrated circuits. What are photosensitive integrated circuits? Photosensitive…
Inductors and conductors are vital electronic components. Even though they look similar, they are very different. In this article, we are going to break down the differences between inductors vs transformers. What is an inductor? An inductor is a coil of wire that has a magnetic field. This magnetic field is created by the current…
It is possible to control the current load in electronic devices. All you need is a voltage to current converter. Read on as we analyze voltage to current converter and how it helps to control the load current. What is a voltage to the current converter? A voltage to current converter is an electronic circuit…
A multi the field of electronics. It is used for both small and large projects. In this guide, we are going to look at everything you should know about multimeter and its application areas. What is a multimeter? A multimeter is a device that is used to measure and test electrical voltage, current, resistance, and…
