There are many different types of switches that are intended to address different design requirements, deployment environments, and usage scenarios. I’m always amazed how one thing leads to another.

Switching algebra is easily visualized using switches since there are only two values: on and off, or true and false. In digital systems we represent these as 1 and 0, respectively. There are only two ...

Circuits as WAN connections battled successfully against packets for years because they guaranteed bandwidth, no matter what. If you bought a T-1 circuit, the service provider nailed up 1.5Mbps from ...

Linear circuits are simple and elegant and remain the foundation of analog and digital circuit design. In fact, no matter how digital or logic intensive a circuit it is, certain fundamental blocks, ...

The critical role of snubber circuits in minimizing ringing and overshoot. How snubber circuitry is evolving to adapt to trends in power electronics, like the rising interest in wide-bandgap ...

Integrated circuit technologies are enabling intelligent, chip-based, optical packet switch matrices. Rapid real-time re-configurability at the photonic layer using integrated circuit technologies is ...
