Last month's column covered the behavior of electrical components connected in series and demonstrated that when a voltage is applied across a series circuit, the current through each component is the ...

Using this Pierce-oscillator circuit, users can test and verify the basic operation of a crystal in parallel-resonance mode. It allows the user to calculate and set the critical external capacitor ...

Editor’s Note: The author contributed an article on Oscillators: How to generate a precise clock source last year and decided to add three more sections to the effort. What follows is Part II, which ...

Harmonic distortion is not a problem unless it becomes a problem. Harmonics are a breakdown of a distorted waveform into its separate frequencies, which are integer multiples of the fundamental ...
