Internal operating voltages in electronic devices continue to decrease, but input-source voltages don't change. As the difference between input and output voltages increases, so does the improvement ...

The very basics of operational amplifiers. Learn comparator, inverting, and non-inverting op-amp configurations. An operational amplifier, or op amp, is a dc-coupled high-gain electronic voltage ...

Wireless handsets, personal digital assistants (PDA) and other handheld devices can't operate everything directly from the battery since each IC requires a specific, steady and accurate supply voltage ...

Converter ICs include an integrated power MOSFET, whereas controller ICs employ external power MOSFETs. Both configurations are classified as regulators because they regulate the output voltage. A low ...

In prior Java 101 articles, I referred to the concepts of redirection, standard input device, and standard output device. To demonstrate inputting data, several examples called System.in.read(). It ...
