We live in an analog world, surrounded by digital devices. Everything we see, feel or measure is analog in nature such as light, temperature, speed, pressure etc. But most of the…

Most of the Integrated IC’s require a constant voltage with which it could operate. Be it a simple Logic Gate or a complex microprocessor they have their own operating voltage.…

We’ve all come across pesky situations where we need a slightly higher voltage than our power supplies can provide. We need 12 volts but have only a 9-volt battery. Or maybe we…

While the Resistors, Capacitors and Inductors form the basic elements of a circuit, it is the semi-conductor device that actually holds the magic within. Every electronic circuit…

There is a very high chance that the first electronic component you might have encountered is the humble resistor, pretty and bead-like with bands of colors. Resistors are the…

If you’ve been around electric appliances for any amount of time, you’d probably have heard of the transformer. Yes, they are those huge bulky things found in street corners,…

One Passive component that always remains obscure is the inductors. These are the coil like structures that you find in most power electronic circuits and it is because of its…

Capacitors – the word seems to suggest the idea of capacity, which according to the dictionary means ‘the ability to hold something’. That is exactly what a capacitor does – it…
