Capacitor self-diagnostics

Peter Demchenko discuss about a design idea on how to test capacitors in circuit. The electrolytic capacitor is far from being the most reliable electronic component. One of its failure modes – a gradual loss of capacity – can hardly be noticed until power supply malfunction...

FFTs and oscilloscopes: A practical guide

Arthur Pini @ edn.com published a guide on how to use FFT found in most modern oscilloscopes. The FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) first appeared when microprocessors entered commercial design in the 1970s. Today almost every oscilloscope from high-priced laboratory models to the...

App note: Engineering scaling

Scaling large values to be fed on limited input digital meters, application note from Murata. [via] It is oftentimes necessary to attenuate “large” input signals down to a level that more closely matches the input range of a selected meter. For example, suppose the signal to be...
