APDs (avalanche photodiodes) or APDs, are common components in laser-based fiber-optic systems for converting optical data into electrical form. The bias voltage and current measurement requirements ...

Over the recent weeks here at Hackaday, we’ve been taking a look at the humble transistor. In a series whose impetus came from a friend musing upon his students arriving with highly developed ...

When looking across the discrete components in your electronic armory, it is easy to overlook the humble diode. After all, one can be forgiven for the conclusion that the everyday version of this ...

Bias circuits for class AB buffers don't have to ruin your total harmonic distortion spec. Here's some tips on how to prevent the bias circuit from influencing the amplified signal spectrum. Bias ...

You would like to measure the output pin of your circuit with a spectrum analyzer, but the pin needs to be biased to be in a standard operation mode. How would you bias this circuit without affecting ...

DESIGN VIEW is the summary of the complete DESIGN SOLUTION contributed article, which begins on Page 2. Why should you ac-couple your video signals? In many cases, it's because the application has a ...
