Power amplifiers that oscillate—deliberately. Part 1: A simple start.
Editor’s Note: This DI is a two-part series. In Part 1, Nick Cornford deliberately oscillates the TDA7052A audio power amplifier to produce a siren-like sound and, given the device’s distortion characteristics, a functional Wien bridge oscillator. In Part 2, Cornford minimizes this distortion and adds amplitude control to the circuit. When audio power amplifiers oscillate,…

From LLMs to hallucinations, here’s a simple guide to common AI terms | TechCrunch
Artificial intelligence is a deep and convoluted world. The scientists who work in this field often rely on jargon and lingo to explain what they’re working on. As a result, we frequently have to use those technical terms in our coverage of the artificial intelligence industry. That’s why we thought it would be helpful to…

A simple circuit to let you characterize JFETs more accurately
In April 2012, EDN published a circuit by John Fattaruso that lets you quickly measure the drain-source saturation current and the pinch-off voltage of both an N-JFET and a P-JFET. The pinch-off voltage (Vp) is measured by inserting a very large resistance between the source and the ground. The drain-source saturation current (IDSS) is measured…

Integrations: From Simple Data Transfer To Modern Composable Architectures — Smashing Magazine
In today’s web development landscape, the concept of a monolithic application has become increasingly rare. Modern applications are composed of multiple specialized services, each of which handles specific aspects of functionality. This shift didn’t happen overnight — it’s the result of decades of evolution in how we think about and implement data transfer between systems….
