Synchronous and asynchronous counters are the two widely used counters in digital circuits. In this article, the difference between synchronous and asynchronous counter are discussed in detail including their characteristics, applications and operation are meticulously written.
Counters are the simplest form of sequential circuits and flip-flops are the basic
Inductors are said to be parallel if one or more inductors share the same two nodes. In this article we will discuss the topic around inductors in parallel and present the two common scenarios: with and without mutual inductance.
Zener diode is considered a special purpose diode because it can operate in a reverse biased mode. Because of this, these diodes are used in voltage regulation and waveform shaping circuits. In this tutorial, two types of voltage regulation circuits with Zener diodes are discussed. In addition to voltage regulators,
Digital logic circuits are broadly classified as combinational logic circuits and sequential logic circuits. Combinational circuits perform tasks that do not require memory to store their data — their operation is independent of time. The output at any instant of time is determined by the present inputs. The analysis of
Nowadays, electric motors can be found in everybody’s life because they convert electric energy to mechanical or kinetic energy. Eclectic motors are available in electric vehicles (EVs), fans, watches, mixers, grinders, washing machines, and many other apparatuses. Hence, knowing the motor principles can help everyone to use motor-based equipment more
Thyristor is one of the most common semiconductor device in electronics, mostly in high power applications. In fact, a thyristor is like a diode, but the main difference is that the thyristor can be controlled in the circuit. The control system only can turn on the thyristor by injecting current
The rectifiers can be classified into half-wave and full-wave rectifiers, and in this article, full-wave rectifier characteristics and applications are presented comprehensively. Then, a brief comparison between a half-wave rectifier and a full-wave rectifier is discussed.
A rectifier is a type of converter which converts AC parameters to DC
The transformer is one of the most important equipment in electrical engineering, which changes the magnitude and phase angle of AC input. In fact, the transformer is a static electrical machine because there is no rotating part in the transformer. Moreover, the transformer is a passive component that transfers energy
The amount of current utilized by an IC when it is in the Quiescent state is referred to as Quiescent Current. The Quiescent state refers to any period of time when the IC is either no load or non-switching but is still switched on. When the external load current is
Weak signals cannot be measured with high accuracy because measurement instruments need high accurate elements, which increases the costs considerably. Therefore, the sensors’ output must be amplified, and then other conversions and measurements can be applied. Some sensors’ outputs are based on current, and their amplitudes are quite low. Hence,
