As a fundamental concept of electronic design, voltage drop ranks highly as one to understand well. I particularly appreciate when industry folks come up with creative ways to get the point across.

When you need to create simple pulses and don’t have a pulse generator, you can often substitute a function generator. By using a function generator’s triggered burst function, you can create pulses ...

In the past, every electronics technician had a function generator with an XR2206 in his (hobby) lab, but those days are long gone. Nowadays such a generator works with a DDS chip that generates ...

One of the most useful bits of kit on a test bench — especially if you regularly deal with analogue circuits — just has to be a function generator. Several years ago I tested the Siglent model SDG830 ...

Q: What is voltage drop? Voltage drop is at it’s most basic a reduction in the power supplied as electricity passes through electrical components like wiring, contacts and conductors. These components ...

A lifetime of amassing random pieces of test equipment has left me with a gap in my armoury, namely that I don’t possess a low frequency function generator. This could easily be addressed, but for two ...

Ametek’s EM Test offers the VDS 200Q Series, a four-quadrant voltage drop simulator that can source and sink current using a programmed voltage in both positive and negative polarities. Ametek's EM ...
