[Andrew Greenberg] has some specific ideas for how open-source hardware hackers could do a better job with their KiCad schematics. In his work with students at Portland State University, [Andrew] ...

Great Eastern FX has unveiled the latest limited edition stompbox in its Obsolete Devices series, and it is a distortion pedal inspired by the iconic hard-clipping performance of the MXR Distortion+ ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a solid-state circuit breaker comprising silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs and a SiC diode, based on the principle of avalanche voltage clamping. The key challenge in ...

The lower clamping voltage of the optimised snapback TVS protects the circuit at a much higher peak pulse current than conventional TVS diodes. This enables designers to use lower-working-voltage and ...

Abstract: With the technological advancement in the electric vehicle (EV), EV chargers become more prominent. As the dc–dc power conditioning unit plays an important role in on-board chargers. In this ...

In vehicle electrical systems, a high- to low-voltage DC/DC converter is a reversible electronic device that changes the DC from the vehicle’s high-voltage (400 V or 800 V) battery to a lower DC ...

Linear, small-signal AC models can be useful in the analysis and design of vacuum-tube-based circuits. Under large-signal conditions, nonlinear models are typically required. Almost 120 years ago, ...

I’ve been an EagleCAD user for 20 years now—more than half the product’s 36-year lifespan. I’ve used EagleCAD as a hobbyist, a maker, a design-for-manufacturing (DFM) blogger, and a small robot ...

When I saw this year’s Supercon Vectorscope badge, I decided that I had to build one for myself. Since I couldn’t attend in-person, I immediately got the PCBs and parts on order. Noting that the ...
