Most modern electronic devices consist of several key components: transistors, capacitors, resistors, inductors and diodes. Often, they are supplemented by additional components like crystals and ...

The level of difficulty in designing electro-technique devices has increased, owing to thermal stress. With the development of electric vehicles and electric aircraft, and to keep up with the recent ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. Transistors and ICs are considered active components because they change signals using energy from the power supply. Capacitors, ...

One can 3D print with conductive filament, and therefore plausibly create passive components like resistors. But what about active components, which typically require semiconductors? Researchers at ...

1. Power-factor triangle relates the real power, the reactive power, and the apparent power. (Courtesy of Vector Group) Let’s start by talking about the concept of power factor (PF). Assuming ...

Managing the heat generated by components has always been an important element of electronic design. It is even more true today as power densities continue to increase and individual components such ...

A number of rigid or flexible component islands are connected by elastic interconnections to produce a stretchable electronic circuit. A number of rigid or flexible component islands are connected by ...

The global electronics supply chain faces a growing challenge from counterfeit and recycled components, which can compromise system reliability and user safety. Recent technological innovations ...

After several years of experimentation, and growing success in volume manufacturing for some use cases, technologies for 3D printing of electronic circuits are becoming more common. Some innovations ...
