Lighting a string of LEDs at a constant brightness requires driving it with a regulated current. A boost converter is commonly used to step up the voltage to a level high enough to bias the LEDs on ...

A breadboard is a great prototyping tool for verifying the sanity of a circuit design before taking the painstaking effort of soldering it all together permanently. After all, a mistake in this stage ...

The first two parts of this blog series introduced the challenge of enabling Power Distribution Networks (PDN) to maintain a well regulated supply for sensitive components in a circuit, in the face of ...

Analog gurus Bob Pease and Jim Williams created hundreds of breadboards to test and evaluate new integrated circuits and circuits created with discrete components. You can see an excellent example of ...

The creative new approach could lead to more energy-efficient machine-learning hardware. On a table in his lab at the University of Pennsylvania, physicist Sam Dillavou has connected an array of ...
