We always enjoy videos from [w2aew]. His recent entry looks at vertical or VFETs, which are, as he puts it, a JFET that thinks it is a triode. He clearly explains how the transistor works as a ...

Commercial curve tracers have existed for decades. But designers without access to one can create a simple circuit that uses a function generator and oscilloscope to generate JFET transfer and ...

The August print issue of EE-Evaluation Engineering includes a special report on power electronics test. In preparation for that article, we asked test equipment vendors to provide information on ...

In response to an online discussion on the Electrical Engineering Stack Exchange, [Joseph Eoff] decided to prove his point by slapping together a bare-bones IV curve tracer using an Arduino Nano and a ...

Some instruments merely make measurements, while others offer insights. My top three candidates for the latter role are the oscilloscope, the spectrum analyzer, and the curve tracer. While measuring ...
