A metal film resistor is a precision fixed resistor widely used in electronic circuits where high accuracy, stability, and low noise are required. Compared to carbon composition and carbon film resistors, metal film resistors offer tighter tolerance, lower temperature coefficient, and superior long-term reliability. They are extensively used in analog circuits, instrumentation, audio equipment, medical […]
A carbon film resistor is one of the most widely used fixed resistors in electronic circuits. It belongs to the carbon-based resistor family, where resistance is obtained from a thin layer of carbon deposited on an insulating substrate. Due to its moderate cost, good stability, reasonable accuracy, and wide resistance range, the carbon film resistor […]
A power diode is a semiconductor device specifically engineered to conduct large currents and withstand high reverse voltages in power electronic circuits. It is fundamentally a PN junction diode, but its internal structure, doping profile, and packaging are optimized for high-power operation rather than low-level signal processing. In power electronic systems, power diodes play a […]
In this project, we will make a CD4047 Inverter Circuit, and we will also discuss why this type of inverter is not a good or reliable solution for real-world applications. An inverter is an electronic device that converts DC voltage into AC voltage. Inverters play a very important role in power backup systems, especially in […]
RC filters are the most fundamental signal-processing circuits in electronics. It uses a combination of a resistor (R) and a capacitor (C) to selectively allow or suppress signals based on their frequency. Despite its simplicity, the RC filter plays a crucial role in almost every electronic system, from basic audio amplifiers to complex communication and […]
A Hall effect transducer is a sensor that detects a magnetic field and converts it into a proportional electrical signal using the Hall effect phenomenon. It is widely used for current sensing, position sensing, speed detection, proximity sensing, and magnetic field measurement in industrial, automotive, and consumer electronic systems. Unlike conventional mechanical or contact-based sensors, […]
