Switching algebra is easily visualized using switches since there are only two values: on and off, or true and false. In digital systems we represent these as 1 and 0, respectively. There are only two ...

This design, based on a Maxim MAX220 RS-232 driver/receiver IC, allows you to increase the number of USARTs (universal synchronous, asynchronous receiver/transmitters) available on a microcontroller.

Goldman Sachs says AI will boost productivity, cause a short spike in unemployment, and disrupt some jobs, but the impact will be brief. Acrobat Studio combines Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Express, and ...

If you thought that the digital TV transition, with its billion-dollar coupon program for converter boxes, was a migration nightmare, wait until it's time for the phone system to dump its legacy ...

We develop a performance modeling methodology for product-form circuit-switched networks. These networks allow for: arbitrary topology and link capacities; Poisson and finite population arrivals; ...

Soft-switching inverters represent a significant advancement in power electronics, enabling reduced switching losses and enhanced overall efficiency. These devices utilise techniques such as ...

Many hardware people around these parts will be familiar with devices used as switches, using at least three-terminals to effect this, an input, an output and a gate. Typical devices that spring to ...

What's a designer to do when challenged with a switching application that requires handling up to 70 kV? These applications are not as rare as one may think. In fact, a broad range of applications in ...

The circuit above is in steady state with the switch open and the SCR is in the conducting state. The voltage drop across the SCR is 1 V while it is conducting. The switch is then closed at t = 0 , ...
