Function generator in an important tool in electronics laboratory. It allows to generate different types of electrical waveforms over a wide range of frequencies. Traditionally function generators have been built using analogue electronics. There have been special ICs that have been widely used for this: Exar XR2206 and the Intersil ICL8038integrated circuits can generate sine, →

Friday Quiz: Transformers and Inductance has an interesting set of questions about the important components in nearly every power supply. Try to answer them and check how many of your answers you get correct. It could show that you have some misconceptions on transformers. You most propably get learning experience from correct answers.     →
