This my fist project with SMD circuit. I ignored SMD because the small sized parts are confused me. The circuit of current SMD project is the headphone amplifier with TPA6120.I designed three PCBs of ...

We’re big fans of surface mount parts. SMD components are cheaper, take less board space, and don’t require drilling; all the coolest new parts are only available in SMD packages. Smart Tweezers are a ...

The three-terminal TL431 voltage regulator is commonly found in switching power converters and instrumentation as a voltage reference. It is seemingly simple, yet has subtleties, including missing ...

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 ...

TDK has created a SMD inductor particularly for the bias-tee (bias-T) circuits used to split RF signals and dc power from, or combine them onto, a single line. “The component achieves an inductance of ...
