The process of designing, manufacturing, and testing ICs is complex and exhaustive. The main contributors are the design and verification teams, IP vendors, and IC manufacturers. The process of ...

Sometimes I wish FETs had become practical before bipolar transistors. A FET is a lot more like a tube and amplifies voltages. Bipolar transistors amplify current and that makes them a bit harder to ...

For reliability, designers must create flex circuits that are neither too thick nor bend too much. • Every flex circuit has a neutral-bend axis. • Smaller circuit thickness reduces the risk of damage ...

All circuits, analog or digital, have characteristics dependent on the values of their component parts. Invariably, these parts are non-ideal in many ways. Even their most fundamental characteristics, ...

AI is vying for circuit and embedded-system design jobs, but in 2025, it still requires a seasoned engineer to ride shotgun. Insight into AI and its use as a tool to design circuits and embedded ...

If you want to replicate the music of your favorite musicians, you will need to know the pedal effect devices they use and the circuitry within them. Furthermore, if you want to design new pedal ...

The future of circuit design, encompassing analog, RF/5G, and custom electronic circuits, is set to be revolutionized by the integration of generative AI tools. These advanced tools will not only ...

You’re probably familiar with the little black boxes nestled neatly inside your favorite devices. With their diminutive size and unassuming characteristics, it can be hard to believe these vessels are ...

Electrical engineers have been designing custom circuit boards on computers for years, but this approach simply moved the paper and pencil method to digital. It didn’t advance the craft or make it ...

What circuit edit is and the financial and time-saving benefits in product development. Next-generation semiconductors and their potential impact on circuit edit. How advances in circuit-edit ...

Ever found yourself tangled in a mess of wires and components, struggling to create a clear and intuitive wiring diagram? If so, you’re not alone. Many electronics enthusiasts face this challenge, ...
