However, choosing the right passive components for your power circuit can be challenging, as you need to consider factors such as performance, cost, size, reliability, and availability.

There is still innovation happening in the passive market, and he highlights some of the recent advances. There are thick-film resistors that don’t need lead, for example.

Eventually we’ll move on to learning about active components like transistors, but there’s a fourth passive circuit component that’s almost never encountered.

Active components rely on an external power source to control or modify electrical signals. They inject power into a circuit and are capable of electrically controlling and amplifying the flow of ...

Myrtle Beach, S.C. AVX Corp. has developed a new software product library of RF components for Agilent's Advanced Design System (ADS), which is an electronic design automation software tool that ...

The Solution Simulator enables web-based electrically and thermally coupled analysis of semiconductor chip (junction) temperature during operation, as well as pin temperatures. It also measures the ...

New York, May 29, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As per Persistence Market Research (PMR), the global interconnects and passive components market value was estimated at US$ 187.6 billion in 2022. From ...
