This guide explains how potentiometer pins interact with mechanical rotation, resistive tracks, and load conditions across various circuit configurations. It provides clarity for both low-power electronic designs and high-precision embedded systems.
This technical article explains the theory behind potentiometer schematics. It shows how to implement mechanical and digital potentiometers in practical circuits, tailored for engineers, and students.
Engineering teams can achieve AI-ready design data with five-level maturity model by Keysight. The unified, traceable data accelerates design cycles, boosts IP reuse, and reduces costly re-spins.
Focused laser-like light that covers a wide range of frequencies is highly desirable for many scientific studies and for many applications, for instance quality control of manufacturing semiconductor electronic chips.
Scientists at ITMO have come up with a new way to protect microelectronics devices from counterfeit. The new technology is based on gold and silicon nanoparticles with unique optical properties that make it possible to create unclonable functions with a record information density.
An international team of scientists was first to demonstrate that halide perovskites can serve as a base for nonlinear on-chip optical components. As an example, they can be used to build ultrafast optical chips and transistors, and, potentially, other integrated optical systems.
The global trade in counterfeit is worth up to $1 trillion annually, with electronics accounting for a significant portion of that figure. How do you keep your builds counterfeit-free?
In this episode, we talk about a research study from MIT that estimates the carbon emissions associated with autonomous vehicles will match that currently produced by all of the data centers in the world along with how to address it.
A quick electric pulse completely flips the material’s electronic properties, opening a route to ultrafast, brain-inspired, superconducting electronics.
Lead-free solders offer an environment-friendly alternative to toxic lead-based solders, which were dominant in the PCB manufacturing industry till the mid-2000s.
Controlled impedance in printed circuit boards involves the regulation of resistance exerted by signal traces. It is determined by characteristic factors of PCB fabrication, such as trace width and copper thickness. This article discusses controlled impedance and the essentials of its execution in PCB manufacturing.
This article aims to provide a comparative analysis of HASL vs ENIG, providing valuable insights to aid in making informed decisions for PCB design and manufacturing.
The hybrid “eBiobots” are the first to combine soft materials, living muscle and microelectronics, said researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Northwestern University and collaborating institutions. They described their centimeter-scale biological machines in the journal Science Robotics.
Engineers face persistent challenges with PCBA designs as they become more complex, posing a risk to the development process as a whole. Those who neglect design complexity may fall behind development schedules, incur expenses, and miss market deadlines.
Study shows that if autonomous vehicles are widely adopted, hardware efficiency will need to advance rapidly to keep computing-related emissions in check.
Approximately 7% of the world's gold can be found inside discarded electronic devices, in form of PCB Gold Fingers. While a tonne of Gold Ore produces just 5 grams of pure gold on average, a tonne of electronic scrap can house 300 grams of gold inside it. Here we gloss over the significance of gold fingers in the present day electronics industry and all kinds of gold fingers specifications you need to know.
