What are diodes? A quick refresher
A diode is a passive component made with semiconductor materials (a chip) that conducts current flowing in one direction but does not conduct current flowing in the opposite direction. The symbol for a diode (to the right in Figure 1) looks something like an arrow pointing in the direction of the forward current. Current flows […]
The changing face of medicine
by Rudy Ramos, Mouser Electronics Medicine and healthcare is one thing that matters to every single person on the planet. We all, to a greater or lesser extent, care about our health — whether it is to attain peak fitness, look for early signs of an issue or monitor / manage a long-term health condition. […]
Will AI and automation make work completely obsolete?
By Rudy Ramos, Mouser Electronics Almost 4 million US workers could eventually be displaced by autonomous vehicles, according to a US Department of Commerce report. While the report, “The Employment Impact of Autonomous Vehicles,” does not offer a firm timeline for job losses, it seems to be the latest evidence of a future in which […]
Modern factories: Electromagnetic noise is replacing audible noise
by Rudy Ramos, Mouser Electronics In the past, factories were noisy places; in fact, noise-induced hearing loss was one of the most common occupational ailments in the USA. As the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) – sometimes termed Factory 4.0 – led to more electronics in factories, electromagnetic noise replaced audible noise. As the need for process […]
How can you get a ballpark price for a sensor in a new design?
Pricing is one of the top criteria for selecting one sensor supplier over another and often for specifying a specific sensor over another for a new design. Some sensor companies, such as semiconductor companies that supply microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and other semiconductor-based sensors, have a buy page on their website with low volume pricing. For […]
Selecting an op amp
You could start with a similar op amp from a similar, known-good circuit or reference design and extrapolate from there. However, not everything labeled a reference design has actually been built and tested. But there’s another way to get organized and feel in control of the selection process. A methodical approach is outlined below that […]
