Abstract: This brief introduces a high-performance flipping-input synchronized switch harvesting on inductor and capacitors (FI-SSHIC) piezoelectric energy harvesting interface circuit. The unique ...

Find out why engineers in the fields of electrical and electronic engineering (EE and ECE) are referred to as 'Circuit ...

In May 2020, Pratyusha Sharma was painstakingly parsing data to prepare for a meeting with her research group at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, hoping to find a pattern. It wasn’t just any ...

Integrated circuits require a variety of voltages and a wide range of currents, typically supplied by voltage regulators. But increasing power density is resulting in higher power delivery losses.

Choosing the right capacitor, especially the right tantalum capacitor, is crucial to ensure equipment reliability both at first turn-on and over time. Always consider derating to achieve the best ...

Situation: You’re an IT person new to radio broadcast engineering and are given the keys to an AM transmitter site. The manager says to go out and get familiar with the equipment. The site reminds you ...

VRM is an essential part of every computer, but it's often given little attention. In fact, even many computer-savvy enthusiasts don't even know what it is or how it works. VRM stands for Voltage ...

Our fundamental passive and inherently analog components—resistors, capacitors, and inductors—are so conceptually simple and easy to describe that we often don’t fully articulate or appreciate the ...

It’s a widely known problem with roots in urban legend: Devices with motherboards failing in the early 2000s with a sudden pop, a gruesome spill, or sometimes a burst of flames. And it was allegedly ...
