Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) might sound intimidating at first, but they’re actually one of the most exciting ways to learn digital design. Unlike microcontrollers (like Arduino or STM32) that run instructions on fixed hardware, FPGAs let you design your own hardware. That means you can create custom processors, signal processors, robotics controllers, or even video […]
Photodiode is a crucial component in modern electronics, enabling devices to detect and respond to light. From remote controls and light meters to solar panels and advanced optical communication systems, photodiodes play a silent but powerful role in shaping how we interact with technology. In this article, we’ll explore everything you need to know about […]
Introduction: In electronic circuit design or repair, selecting the right capacitor is critical to performance and reliability. Ceramic and electrolytic capacitors are two of the most commonly used capacitor types, each suited for distinct applications due to their differing structures and electrical characteristics. Understanding their key differences – including capacitance range, frequency response, polarity requirements, […]
This article is on MOSFETs (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor), covering the difference between D-MOSFET and E-MOSFETs with construction, working, advantages, disadvantages, and applications. MOSFETs are the most common types of Field Effect Transistors (FETs) in Modern electronics. It functions as a voltage-controlled device and delivers high input impedance along with fast switching speed. MOSFETs are the […]
A phototransistor is a semiconductor device that combines the properties of a photodiode and a transistor. It is sensitive to light and provides amplified electrical output based on the light intensity incident on its base region. Phototransistors play a vital role in optoelectronic applications such as light sensing, encoders, switches, and signal transmission, owing to […]
In power electronics, the SCR, DIAC, and TRIAC are three common semiconductor devices that are very useful in electric power control and conversion applications. Though they all belong to the thyristor family, their operation, structure, and applications differ significantly. Here’s a detailed explanation of SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectifier), DIAC (Diode for Alternating Current), and TRIAC […]
