A special frequency determined by the values of the resistance, capacitance and inductance refers to the resonance in AC circuits. The resonant frequency point occurs where the inductive reactance of ...

Among the abundance of components making up electronic circuits, very few are as important as capacitors. These components, taking the form of conductive plates separated by an insulating material ...

You can make all sorts of different types of inductors, but the most common type is cylindrical coil of wire---a solenoid. When current runs through the first loop, it creates a magnetic field that ...

Last month's column covered the behavior of electrical components connected in series and demonstrated that when a voltage is applied across a series circuit, the current through each component is the ...

In electrical and electronic engineering, capacitors are fundamental components. They appear across all manner of applications, including power supplies, analogue filters, timing circuits, and energy ...

This Power Tip shows you how to do a quick conversion of parallel-to-series complex impedances (and vice versa). It also shows that a graphical representation of this transformation as a function of ...

Download this article in PDF format. A T-coil is a special form of an inductive peaking circuit that will extend an amplifier’s bandwidth and speed up the output signal rise-time. The circuit uses a ...

Inductors range from RF coils used in communications through switchmode inductors used in power supplies and differential and common mode inductors in EMI filters. As switchmode power supply designs ...

Active inductors have emerged as a transformative component in CMOS radio frequency (RF) circuit design, effectively replacing traditional passive inductors with active semiconductor networks. By ...
