That’s the list. Those are your passive components. Well, it’s not that easy. Also add in a bunch of types of sensors, because they are still passive. A photoresistor is a sensor but it’s still a ...

Active components like transistors and integrated circuits change signals using energy from the power supply. Conversely, passive components like resistors, capacitors, inductors, and connectors do ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. While semiconductors and software continue to expand the capabilities of electronics products, a new kind of passive ...

There is a growing debate surrounding active vs passive speakers. Which one is right for you? A British Audiophile explains the differences. Consumer audio sales of active loudspeakers are increasing, ...

Is it time to revisit your speaker setup? Maybe it’s not giving you the dynamic sound stage that you’re looking for, or maybe it’s lacking in low end. Maybe you only have a small Bluetooth speaker ...

As Gigabit Ethernet becomes a reality, installers must learn about the “active” side of testing. Although not often acknowledged, there is a great divide in the world of network testing. On one side ...

While semiconductors and software continue to expand the capabilities of electronics products, a new kind of passive component is breaking into the fast lane. The memristor (short for memory varistor, ...
