Designers of instruments or control systems often find that component performance limits overall equipment performance in areas such as stability, frequency response, noise, and ESD. This is ...

Download this article in PDF format. Determining the resistor values and assuring performance of the circuit associated with a photocoupler (also called an optocoupler or optoisolator) is simple in ...

I get somewhat annoyed when I hear engineers who have some real-world experience or exposure casually dismiss a component, especially a passive one, as “simple.” It may be simple in concept or ...
