An electronic amplifier, amplifier, or (informally) amp is an electronic device that increases the power of a signal.

This article is about the electronic component.

sensing and compensation components (see schematic). This IC was chosen for its minimal component count, low start-up supply current and robust error

intended as a reference design to be used as a development tool to speed up customers' time to market.

The new devices will serve in a variety of pull-up and pull-down applications for both analog and digital circuits in industrial, medical,

All electronic components, from computer chips to high-end power converters, generate heat, and rejection of this heat is necessary for their optimum and reliable operation. As electronic designs require higher power transfer in more compact enclosures, dissipating the heat load becomes a critical

All fluorescent lamps require a ballast to provide the electrical power to preheat the lamp electrodes, strike the lamp, provide the running power and control the discharge current. This can be achieved by either electromagnetic or high frequency electronic ballasts. With the introduction of new

In 1975, when BELIMO was established, pneumatic actuators accounted for 50% of the actuators used in Europe. Today, 95% of those installed are electronic and, in Japan, 80%. BELIMO electronic has over 60% marketshare in both Europe and Japan. Recognition of the cost/benefit ratio of high quality

Wakes up the babies, too!

I saw your post. Most of the caps I ever blew up just turned brown or black. But sometimes you get those loud cracks that scare you and make you laugh. Putting capacitors in the wrong way is always an adventure!

Wasn't on a breadboard (didn't have one then, nor money to buy one. Though, come to think of it, maybe the BB wouldn't have cost as much as the bag of caps I blew ), but see my post number 35 in Part I of this blog (http://cr4.globalspec.com/comment/436344/Re-Electronic-Projects-for-Beginners-Compon...

Good suggestion! In a couple of weeks the first project in the series will be going live and that may be a good blog to put up there. I am sure we can have a whole separate series on debugging circuits alone! Thanks for the suggestion. If anyone has stories about mistakes when using a breadboard I w...

Jaxy, I like the way this blog has been progressing. You might consider dedicating a separate part to "Common Mistakes when Using a Breadboard." People here could fill in all of our momentary mistakes. You could then edit this list for a nice guide for a class. While this won't prevent a novice...

Try http://tinycad.sourceforge.net/ it's free but mostly for electronic schematic creation.

Now here''s some old electronic test equipment! Anyone have these in your lab, basement, memories?
