A Hall-effect sensor is a transducer that converts a magnetic field directly into a usable electrical voltage. It enables ...

In PCB design, design for manufacturing (DfM) is all about correcting mistakes after reviewing a PCB layout. We then devise corrective actions to fix those mistakes and improve procedures to make ...

TDK has created a SMD inductor particularly for the bias-tee (bias-T) circuits used to split RF signals and dc power from, or combine them onto, a single line. “The component achieves an inductance of ...

In the ongoing drive to make circuitry ever smaller and more powerful, researchers in Canada have taken things to a very small extreme. They devised a method for turning individual silicon atoms into ...

Abstract: This paper presents an innovative and fast process for the assembly of surface mounted devices (SMD) in printed circuit boards (PCBs). The methodology described in this work was applied in ...

The creative new approach could lead to more energy-efficient machine-learning hardware. On a table in his lab at the University of Pennsylvania, physicist Sam Dillavou has connected an array of ...
