When looking for things to write about, there is nothing we like to see more than well-documented schematics and code ... to upload your Eagle or KiCAD circuit diagrams, which are then run through ...

Capacitors used on electric motors and compressors have a different function than capacitors used in solid-state circuits. Capacitors used on single-phase motors or compressors help start the motor ...

Second, there are many valuable design tricks and techniques which are viable only with ICs, but which don’t make sense for discrete circuits. Examples are the use of matched components on the die to ...
