The transport properties of a coherent conductor depend on the surrounding circuit. First, electronic quantum interferences blend the conductor with its vicinity, resulting in a different coherent ...

The pristine, regimented symmetry of digital circuit boards is occasionally interrupted by an irregular huddle of linear components. These aberrants are tolerated because they perform a variety of ...

A designer who uses a phototransistor to convert a modulated optical signal to an electrical signal frequently encounters problems when high-intensity background light saturates the phototransistor.

A variety of linear models are available to represent common active electronic devices such as transistors and vacuum tubes. Devices operating under large-signal conditions often require nonlinear ...

Many improvements to the follower circuit have been proposed over the years. The White cathode follower doubles the output current and makes the transfer function more linear. 1 Adding a common-base ...

Designers often use mathematical models to predict how mechanical and electrical systems will behave. The details expressed by these models, like significant digits in an equation, go only as deep as ...

We were recently tipped off to quite a resource — on the Texas Instruments website, there’s a page where you can view and download a compendium of analog sub-circuits. Individual circuits can be ...

Components which show I–V graphs that are not straight lines are non-linear circuit elements. The current through them is not directly proportional to the potential difference across them. Non-linear ...

My research projects in the area of nonlinear systems deal with finding dc operating points, steady state, and transient responses of electronic circuits. These are essential tasks in electrical ...
