Branch circuit wiring problems lead to more residential electrical fires than any other single cause. Hidden trouble inside a branch circuit can also lead to electrocutions and the failure of ...

Every year, we read about electricians, engineers, and supervisors who were seriously burned or killed while working in or near a circuit breaker (CB) compartment. I’ve personally investigated ...

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter outlets quietly guard the most dangerous spots in your home, cutting power in a fraction of ...

USB data-acquisition modules offer good value and ease of use, whichmakes them an attractive choice for manufacturing test. But before you use themodules in a manufacturing test system, you need to ...

Wherever circuits need protection against current overloads or short circuits, you’ll find circuit breakers. They range from fingernail-sized devices for semiconductor protection to truck-sized ...

The Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) was formed in mid 1980s to develop a method of verifying designs and testing printed circuit boards after manufacture. Prior to the development of JTAG, testing and ...

There are a number of complex tasks involved in the manufacturing of electronic assemblies, all of which can go wrong. In order to ensure quality standards are met, the fabrication of the printed ...

If you are using infrared (IR) hardware in an IoT, embedded, or mobile hardware project and are currently experiencing difficulties debugging IR communications, using one of the circuits shown below ...

Automotive integrated circuits (ICs) are the critical drivers behind modern vehicle automation, safety, and efficiency. As electronic systems in automobiles become increasingly complex, robust testing ...

In the old days every instrument or system had a power supply board with discrete, homemade regulators on it to power the system. Then IC’s like the LM7805 series of voltage regulators changed ...
