In the realm of electronics, varicap diodes, also known as voltage-variable capacitors or varactors, play a pivotal role. These devices exhibit a capacitance that varies with the applied voltage, ...

I'm sort of curious myself. I've been on the software side of things for a long time, but I have a lot of EE coworkers, and I've been curious about learning a little about building electronics, to the ...

2019 marks the 100th anniversary of the Greinacher voltage multiplier, invented by Swiss physicist Heinrich Greinacher in 1919. In 1932, Douglas Cockcroft and Ernest Walton used this basic circuit to ...

It isn’t unusual to expect a precisely regulated voltage in an electronic project, but what about times when you need a precise current? Over on EDN, prolific [Stephen Woodward] explains how to use a ...
