We all know that it’s easy to get caught out by fake electronic components these days, with everything from microcontrollers to specialized ASICs being fair game. More recently, retro components that ...
In many low-power applications such as USB adaptors, cell phone chargers, and system bias supplies, the low-cost quasi-resonant/discontinuous-mode flyback converter ...
Emitter/source degeneration is a technique used to guard against drift in transistor parameters like beta. In addition, it helps linearize the small signal output. The transfer characteristic of a BJT ...
