Download this article in PDF format. Arbitrary function generators (AFGs) are used to generate many different types of electrical waveforms, such as sine waves, square waves, triangular waves, and ...

How do you deliver constant power when the load impedance isn't constant? That problem arises, for example, in trying to maintain a warm LCD display on an outdoor gas pump in cold climates. As the ...

[Ralph] is excited about impedance matching, and why not? It is important to match the source and load impedance to get the most power out of a circuit. He’s got a whole series of videos about it. The ...

Most voltage references are designed to drive a low to moderate amount of current, typically less than 10mA. Drawing even moderate current levels– for example, 10mA — can result in degraded ...

Impedance mismatch in a circuit results in energy being reflected back to the source, reducing the amount of power available to the load and possibly causing damage to the power source. Matching the ...
