Three Terminal IC Voltage Regulators - Block Diagram: The latest generation of IC voltage regulators has devices with only three pins: one for the unregulated input voltage, one for the…
Regulated and Unregulated Power Supply: Almost all electronic devices used in electronic circuits need a dc source of power to operate. The source of dc power is used to establish…
Comparison of Logic Families: The following are the Comparison of Logic Families are 1. RTL and DTL families have become obsolete because of their low speed, high power dissipation, and…
Integrated Injection Logic (IIL or I2L) Circuit: It is the latest entry into the bipolar saturated logic field. It uses no biasing and loading resistors at all. Resistors require lot…
What is Emitter Coupled Logic (ECL) Circuit? Emitter coupled logic (ECL) is the fastest of all logic families and, therefore, is employed in applications where very high speed is essential.…
What is a Digital Integrated Circuit? In an integrated circuit, components such as diodes, transistors, resistors, inductors etc. are integral parts of the chip. And on surface of this chip,…
Construction and Working of Zener Diode: Zener diode, also sometimes called the breakdown diode, is a P-N junction diode specially designed for operation in the breakdown region in reverse bias…
Diode Failure Modes and Causes: We would certainly like for solid-state components to be 100% reliable but this is unfortunately not true. All solid-state devices have a certain probability of…
