Protecting Electronics from Voltage Spikes and Surges
What Is a Clamping Diode? Clamping diodes are essential electronic components found in a wide array of modern circuitry. These specialized semiconductor devices serve a critical role in limiting and regulating voltage levels within electronic systems, shielding sensitive components from the detrimental effects of voltage spikes and transients. Heisener, a leading online electronic parts and…

Single-Ended vs. Differential Amplifiers
Most often than not, the signal from the sensor in a measurement and control or monitoring system is very small (one millivolt or less) and a key step in signal conditioning is amplification. Therefore, the sensor is often connected to the input terminals of an amplifier. The amplifier in this case can either be single-ended…

Root-mean-square (r.m.s.) value
We know that a current passing through a resistance has a heating effect, the magnitude of which we measure in watts, that is power is given by This shows that power (or heat) dissipated in a resistance is proportional to either square of the current or the voltage.
