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 ...

Electronic systems often require multiple voltages to power the various internal circuits. Non-isolated regulators are a common and easy way to convert one voltage to another. Regulators typically ...

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 ...

In the consumer electronics world, knowing the difference between root mean square (RMS) and peak power ratings can make or break the performance and clarity of an audio system. In short, RMS power is ...
