Protecting Devices from ESD Damage

In electronics industry, protecting devices from ESD damage is a must. Electrostatic discharge or simply ESD is a very high voltage spike that can easily damage small signal components such as integrated circuits and low power semiconductors. A common ESD is caused by human body touching to electronic devices. Charges are accumulating inside human body and then when any part

How to know if a Transistor is Saturated?

There are several ways how to know if a transistor is saturated or not. It is very important that if you design a transistor to function as a switch that it should operate in the saturation and cutoff. Operation at cutoff is simply interrupting the bias of the transistor. However operating at saturation is not that easy. You need to

Top 6 Control System Design Tools

Tools That Can be Used in Control System Design

Designing control systems needs a tool to speed up the task. Here are the tools that can be used in control system design. Matlab control systems toolbox is in the top of the list then followed by Simulink control design. I also included here simpowersystems because of its usefulness in power electronics. Control system is not as easy as ohms

How to Setup Bode Plot in Simulink

Below is the step by step procedure on how to setup bode plot in Simulink. Bode plot is a graph of gain and phase of a system. In a bode plot you can get the gain and phase margins and know if the system is stable or not. To demonstrate this properly, consider the Simulink model in Figure 1. You should
