Circuits that carry femtoamperes of current have many subtleties that you wouldn’t normally consider in the design and layout of conventional circuitry. If you overlook these subtleties, the circuit ...

Electrical circuits and systems lie at the very heart of modern technology, underpinning applications that range from power supply units and embedded systems to high‐speed communication networks and ...

Connecting them at only one point. Cutting the ground plane under a mixed signal component Connecting them with capacitors. Segmenting the ground plane in a PCB such that there is only a narrow ...

Reviewing a typical protective device trip curve (click here to see Fig. 2), it can be divided into three regions. First is the “instantaneous region,” which is the region intended to interrupt ...

For reliability, designers must create flex circuits that are neither too thick nor bend too much. • Every flex circuit has a neutral-bend axis. • Smaller circuit thickness reduces the risk of damage ...

Westfield High School Physics classes in both Josh Garodnick’s and Rudy Scipione’s classes experienced hands-on electrical circuit design this spring. Students learned to wire four switches and four ...

Various power-generating system methods 2 can be applied to space-based electrical power subsystems (EPS) to power spacecraft (Fig. 1). CubeSat designers need to contend with thermal design, payloads, ...

What distinguishes a medium voltage circuit breaker from other types is not the enclosure or operating mechanism, but the method of arc extinction. The interruption medium governs arc energy, ...

It's standard: You overkill the positive side of the 12-volt circuit andignore the ground circuit. Basic electrical circuit design requires acomplete path back to the battery through the ground ...
