In many systems, transmission lines drive reactive (mostly capacitive) loads. To preserve signal integrity, you should properly terminate the lines. However, the input impedance of CMOS logic ICs, for ...

Connect the RLC circuit to the function generator using an adapter and banana cables. Connect the oscilloscope to two elements in the circuit. Be careful to ground the measurements at the same point.

You will study a series RLC circuit from both a time-domain and frequency-domain perspective in order to investigate topics such as: damping, overshoot, rise time, frequency of oscillation, settling ...

Control systems are all around us, and understanding them is going to make you much better at hardware design. In the last article — Beyond Control: The Basics of Control Systems — we looked at an ...

Decoupling and bulk capacitance are used to limit the voltage deviation of dc-dc converters in the face of load steps. Yet, requirements for high power density and low cost often dictate that the ...

A special frequency determined by the values of the resistance, capacitance and inductance refers to the resonance in AC circuits. The resonant frequency point occurs where the inductive reactance of ...
