Tesla coils are one of those builds that capture the interest of almost anybody passing by. For the naïve constructor, they look simple enough, but they can be finicky beasts—beasts that can bite if ...

Designers of VCO modules can reduce the size and increase the performance of these modules with a new device that combines in a single tiny package the company's NE894 transistor for oscillator ...

Graphene has already brought us the world's smallest transistor – twice – and now the one atom thick form of carbon that recently won its discoverers the Nobel Prize has been used to create a ...

LED drivers that receive their power from a single cell are receiving a great deal of attention. To generate the high voltage for illuminating a white LED from a low-voltage power supply basically ...

Applications ranging from consumer electronics to high-power energy-conversion systems leverage the benefits of dc-dc power converters in their designs. Among these, flyback converters are popular for ...
