I'm sort of curious myself. I've been on the software side of things for a long time, but I have a lot of EE coworkers, and I've been curious about learning a little about building electronics, to the ...

A diode is a semiconductor device that allows electrical current to flow in one direction while blocking it in the other.

I learned some basic electronics in high school physics class: resistors, capacitors, Kirchhoff’s law and such, and added only what was required for projects as I did them. Then around 15 years ago I ...

Reverse polarity is one of the most common causes of circuit failure, from hobby projects to industrial systems. The good news is that a well-designed reverse polarity protection using MOSFET ...
