Simplifier Formulas for Series and Parallel Circuits Resistance Calculations

Combining resistors Series Resistance When two resistors are connected in series, the current is first limited or restricted by the first resistor and then further limited or restricted by the second resistor, increasing the effect of the series connection. Equivalent Series Resistance The total resistor value in a series circuit connection is equal to R, …

Latches In Digital Electronics

Electronics

What is meant by Latches in digital electronics? Latches is defined as a logical circuit that is used for storing single binary digit. Latch stores data using a feedback loop that helps memory elements to store binary information. The feedback loops are created in circuit diagrams so that output values depend on themselves indirectly. …

How does the Avalanche Diode works?

Electrical

What is an Avalanche diode? A reverse breakdown region-operating diode is referred to as an avalanche diode. The fundamental purpose of these diodes is to break precisely at a reverse voltage without being damaged. Once these diodes are linked in series, they can be used in high voltage, inductive, protective circuits. An avalanche diode will …
