- How does a Resettable Fuse Work?
26 August 2020
A resettable fuse is a kind of over-current electronic protection component. It is made of a high-molecular organic polymer under high pressure, high temperature, and sulfidation reaction. It's mixed with conductive particle materials, and processed by special technology. - Tunnel Diode: Definition, Features and Tunneling Process
25 August 2020
Tunnel diode, also known as Ezaki diode, is a crystal diode with tunnel effect current as the main current component. The tunnel diode is a semiconductor diode made of a mixture of gallium arsenide (GaAs) and gallium antimonide (GaSb). - Introduction to Wireless Sensor Networks
20 August 2020
The component modules of the wireless sensor are encapsulated in a shell. When it is working, it will be powered by a battery or a vibration generator to form a wireless sensor network node. It consists of randomly distributed micro nodes integrated with sensors, data processing units, and communication modules. The way of self-organizing constitutes a network. The wireless sensor network system usually includes sensor nodes, sink nodes, and management nodes. - An Overview of JFET
19 August 2020
JFET is a Junction field-effect transistor. Regular transistor is a current-controlled device that requires biasing power, while JFET is a voltage-controlled device. The JFET is an active electronic component that is one of the electronics industry's workhorses that offers a reasonable compromise between cost and efficiency. - Working Principle and Types of Electric Fuse
19 August 2020
An electric fuse is a current interrupting device that protects the electrical circuit, in which it is located by generating an open circuit in response to excessive current. This article mainly discusses the structure, working principle, materials, types, and pros and cons of electric fuse. - Introduction to Microprocessors
18 August 2020
The microprocessor is the central unit of a computer system performing arithmetic and logic operations which typically involve adding, subtracting, moving numbers from one field to another, and comparing two numbers. It's often simply referred to as a processor, a central processing unit, or a logic chip. - How does a Photodiode Work?
15 August 2020
A photodiode is a special diode (light-receiving device) that converts optical signals into electrical signals.It has a pn junction, and its shell has a window with glass for light penetration.So how does it work and how do we use it? Read this article to find the answer. - Introduction to EPROM and EEPROM
14 August 2020
EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) is a kind of ROM memory with erasable function and can be reprogrammed after erasing. Before writing, the contents inside must be irradiated with ultraviolet rays on the transparent window on its IC card to clear it. EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory), a memory chip that does not lose data after power failure. EEPROM can erase the existing information and reprogram it on the computer or special equipment. - What is a Memory Controller?
12 August 2020
The memory controller is an important part of the computer system that controls the memory and is responsible for data exchange between the memory and the CPU. The memory controller determines the maximum memory capacity that the computer system can use, the number of memory banks, memory type and speed, memory particle data depth and data width, and other important parameters. The memory controller determines the memory performance of the computer system and therefore has a greater impact on the overall performance of the computer system. - Rectifier Diode: Function and Circuit
