Most engineering labs have digital oscilloscopes, but many engineers don’t fully explore their features. Among the more interesting features of a digital oscilloscope is its math channel, which can ...

Today’s electronic devices with fast FPGAs, ASICs, and other ICs rely on ever-smaller power rail voltages with tight tolerances. Engineers who incorporate these ICs into their systems need to use ...

Engineers usually have access to signal and function generators, as well as frequency counters and oscilloscopes, but they may not have access to capacitance or inductance meters. Using the test setup ...

Though ceramic capacitors do have piezoelectric tendencies in certain situations, they are the much-preferred option for use in scopes over their electrolytic counterparts. Just avoid knocking your ...

[Norman] put together a rather impressive 22,500 uF capacitor bank. In addition to find things to torture with the strong magnetic field generated by a sudden discharge, he’d like to measure the ...

How It Works. The calculator applies the resonant frequency formula to determine inductance: Connect a known capacitor in parallel with your unknown inductor. Apply a square wave to excite the LC ...
