This Power Tip shows you how to do a quick conversion of parallel-to-series complex impedances (and vice versa). It also shows that a graphical representation of this transformation as a function of ...

Electric circuits often consist of several elements, some combined in series and others in parallel. The methods used to analyze series and parallel circuits can be combined to analyze these ...

Guest columnist Subhodeep Ghosh of Cypress Semiconductor looks into the stability issues affecting the usefulness of powerline communications as a networking technology. Powerline communications (PLC) ...

Despite many of the myths that surround series networks and their acclaimed superiority over conventional parallel networks for loudspeaker design, both networks can be designed with identical ...

A quartz crystal's case will be stamped with the devices' rated operating frequency, but that number is only an approximation to the real story which is that there is more than one crystal resonant ...

Because of their high ESL compared to ceramic, tantalum capacitors are not the optimum choice for high frequency decoupling. Paralleling tantalum capacitors for bulk capacitance and ceramic for high ...

Advances in silicon technology have led to significantly faster processors, memory and switching logic. These high-performance semiconductor devices can Advances in silicon technology have led to ...

Last month's column covered the behavior of electrical components connected in series and demonstrated that when a voltage is applied across a series circuit, the current through each component is the ...
