Over the last couple of decades the use of rechargeable batteries has grown enormously, and for most common applications there are ASICs[1] which control battery management with very little additional ...

The current-mode or peak-current-regulating switching converter is a familiar, almost dominant, power supply circuit consisting of few parts and is usually designed with “cookbook” procedures from PWM ...

This animation shows how pairs of dangling bonds can serve as atom-sized binary bits in digital circuits. Credit: Robert Wolkow/U. Alberta In the ongoing drive to make circuitry ever smaller and more ...

ASIC Advantage’s IPS20 and IPS21 power management ICs simplify the design of secondary-based feedback and protection circuit implementations. Chips are said to be ideal for controlling voltage and ...

Using simple components such as oil, salt water, lipids and proteins, plus routine genetic engineering techniques, it is possible to create simple nanofluidic ...

Maybe you are familiar with the op-amp as an extremely versatile component, and you know how to quickly construct a huge variety of circuits with one. Maybe you even have a favorite op-amp or two for ...

Marta Zlatic owns what could be the most tedious film collection ever. In her laboratory at the Janelia Research Campus in Ashburn, Virginia, the neuroscientist has stored more than 20,000 hours of ...

A simple circuit is a chain of different parts with wires and switches which allows electricity to flow around. All electrical appliances use circuits. For electricity to flow correctly, the circuit ...

Neural circuit diagrams show connections between neurons or brain regions. They are similar to pathways 1 but typically have more complex connections and more variables, and they can be generated at ...
