How to Calculate Heatsinks
Heatsinking is critical for power devices in circuits that are intended to maximize their performance. When heat from the power devices cannot be moved away very quickly, the power devices and its […]
Dummy Load Circuit for Testing Power Supplies
Suppose you have a 10 amp power supply and you want to confirm the 10 amp output through some sort of dummy load which can absorb 10 amp current. For […]
Exploring Current Mirror Circuits with Practical Designs
The Möbius Strip seems to have an intriguing property: it includes just one edge and one side! We can illustrate this by drawing a line around the hoop using a pen or […]
