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!
A voltage multiplier is one of the simplest ways to obtain a high voltage if you need it. A rectifier that transforms an AC voltage to a higher DC value is a voltage multiplier. Heinrich Greinacher invented them in 1919, and they were used to create the first artificial nuclear disintegration particle accelerator, so you…
Silicon photomultiplier is a photo-sensitive device used for a wide range of applications. In this guide, we are going to explore both the fundamentals and deep details of silicon photomultiplier, which is usually referred to as SiPM. What is a silicon photomultiplier? The silicon photomultiplier consists of a semiconductor p-n junction which is the center…
According to sources, the first toroid inductor was designed by a physicist known as Michael Faraday in the early 1830s. Faraday observed that a change in the magnetic field can generate a voltage in a wire that is close to the magnetic field, and called it the Faraday’s Law of Induction. Since then, many people…
Simulation is a common practice in many industries. It gives the players and stakeholders involved a picture of what to expect from a system or even product. Circuits can be subjected to simulation. This is done by a circuit simulator. In this guide, we are going to look at all you should know about electronic…
All electronics must be connected to a power source. This is where the importance of power connectors comes in. They act as a link between the electronic and the power source. In this guide, we are going to break down everything you should know about power connectors. What are power connectors? Power connectors are devices…
Computer memory has undergone massive evolution over years. They are faster and have larger capacities. Of course, all these are for the benefit of the end-users. The advancement of technology has led to the popularity of virtual memory. Whether you are a small business or a large organization, it is important to have a full…
Connectors have been used for decades. They play an integral role when it comes to matters about network communication. There are different types of connectors in the market. You can buy an RJ11 connector or go for the RJ45 connector. RJ stands for registered jack. In this guide, we are going to discuss the differences…
Every day, we all witness things in life that we have no idea what are. You probably wouldn’t be able to explain what a ferrite bead is if you heard the term, but these beads are an essential element of our everyday electronics. So, what exactly is a ferrite bead, and how does it function?…
You’re undoubtedly aware that the processor world is divided into two groups. If you’re reading this on a smartphone, an ARM processor is at work for you. Furthermore, if you use a laptop, an x86 CPU is working. Apple officially stated that its Macs would be upgraded to Apple’s own Silicon ARM CPUs. We’ve already…
Mercury switches are used on quite a wide range of applications. Before you buy this switch, it will be prudent to equip yourself with adequate information about them. In this guide, we are going to cover everything that you should know about mercury switches. What is a mercury switch? A mercury switch is a type…
