In many systems, transmission lines drive reactive (mostly capacitive) loads. To preserve signal integrity, you should properly terminate the lines. However, the input impedance of CMOS logic ICs, for ...

Using circuit simulating software like SPICE can be a powerful tool for modeling the behavior of a circuit in the real world. On the other hand, it’s not always necessary to have all of the features ...

My wish list for highly-integrated measurement instruments includes impedance or RLC meters. These instruments are especially interesting because they allow for so many different design alternatives ...

All engineers know resistance is usually bad news. It generates heat. It reduces efficiency. It wears out components and cuts operational lifetimes. However, resistance is not the only kind of ...
