This Design Idea demonstrates a simple way to generate a multiphase clock signal, the frequency of which can be varied with minimal change in phase shift(s). The phase shift of the second output can ...

RC circuits may seem simple—just a resistor and capacitor—but they’re the backbone of timing, filtering, and energy storage in electronics. Understanding how they charge and discharge unlocks ...

OBJECTIVE: You will wind (and test) your own inductor, which you will also use in the AM radio project in a subsequent lab. You will also investigate the properties of capacitors by making a simple ...

In Part 1, it was explained that the SPICE simulation tool allows you to analyze the behavior of electronic circuits in precise detail. This installment will analyze the RC time constant, which ...
