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 […]
Classification of Digital Logic Families with Characteristics and Applications
Learn about digital logic families, their classifications, key characteristics, and how they differ in speed, power consumption, and practical applications in digital electronics. Digital electronic systems operate using binary logic levels, commonly represented as logic ‘0’ and logic ‘1’. The circuits that process these logic levels are built using logic gates, and these gates are […]
Power Diode: Symbol, Construction, Working, Types and Applications
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 […]
100-Watt CD4047 Inverter Circuit Construction, Working and Limitations
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 […]
Artificial Intelligence in Electronics: From Design to Production
Artificial Intelligence in Electronics improves quality, inspection, and yield as components shrink and manufacturing complexity increases. Electrical components are becoming smaller and denser, making them harder to manufacture consistently. Fine-pitch BGAs, advanced packaging, high-speed connectors, miniaturized sensors and power electronics all push tolerances to their limits, while OEMs still expect faster ramp-ups, tighter reliability targets […]
