Variable capacitors are no longer as plentiful as ... you’d expect a similar coil to form the inductive part of a tuned circuit, but this coil is shorted out to prevent its inductance becoming ...

But do you know why? [Bertho] put together a great post that looks that the benefits of using decoupling capacitors in your circuits. He set up a circuit using a 74HC04 inverter and put it to the ...

No Man's Sky is an ever-evolving, fluid universe that's constantly being iterated and expanded upon. This constant refreshing ...

Leaky capacitors (and leaky batteries) have killed many ancient computers over the years. In the case of the former, electrolytic fluid can seep out and wreak havoc on circuit boards and nearby ...

Many stepdown (buck) dc/dc-converter ICs incorporate a voltage-mode-control algorithm. As a result, for stable operation in continuous-conduction mode, the application circuit's output capacitor is ...
