Beginner’s Corner: Inductors in DC Circuits

Introduction In this installment we examine inductors (also called coils) and their behavior in DC circuits. We'll look at what they are, what they do, and how they respond in both steady state and transient conditions (i.e. a state change). In addition to the theory, we'll spend some time in the lab looking at real-world … Continue reading Beginner’s Corner: Inductors in DC Circuits

Embedded Topics: Digital to Analog Converters

In this installment we look at Digital to Analog Converters (DACs) in general, and the MCP4725 (12-Bit, I2C) specifically including how to hook it up to a microcontroller and control it through software via the I2C bus. We'll look at in theory and in practice in the lab. https://youtu.be/JfH9Rj3zpbM If you enjoyed that, and learned … Continue reading Embedded Topics: Digital to Analog Converters

Beginner’s Corner: Zener Diodes

Welcome! In this installment we'll cover Zener Diodes including some practical applications. We'll also learn that although Zener Diodes make great voltage references, in most applications they are a poor choice for voltage regulators. https://youtu.be/wjRmVucFigM If you enjoyed that then please subscribe, like and share.
