Whenever I find myself harboring a constantly nagging thought, I know I will eventually have to get busy and find a way to put it to rest. When I read EDN’s Design Ideas, I look for the range of ...

I love all about electronics, circuit diagrams and crazy projects that can help us achieve almost everything our mind can conceive. I created this website and I want to invite you to participate in ...

A fishing crew was left stunned when it found itself surrounded by a dangerous square wave phenomenon. Video footage shows concerned fishermen overlooking the surrounding sea as waves form a ...

An audio waveform theoretically comprised of an infinite set of odd harmonic sine waves. It is often used in sound synthesis. See also: Fourier Theorem, Law of Superposition, Oscillator, Switch.

The circuit of Figure 1 generates sinusoids down to very low frequencies with distortion in the region of 3% or less, yet has no feedback or gain-stabilizing components because none are needed. It ...

Many microcontrollers or PICs will have uncommitted digital-to-analog converter (DAC) outputs that can be used to generate sine waves. But these are generally low resolution (8 to 10 bits), yielding a ...

Philosopher Mark de Silva's debut novel, Square Wave, shows what a novel can do when it goes off the beaten track. In it, de Silva attempts to structure chaos by following patterns that might emerge ...

Today we’ll take a journey into less noisy noise, and leave behind the comfortable digital world that we’ve been living in. The payoff? Smoother sounds, because today we start our trip into analog. If ...

A waveform that rises quickly to a particular amplitude, remains constant for a time period and drops fast at the end. In digital systems, square waves are the norm, because they represent a binary ...

Finding that his recently purchased LED Christmas lights defaulted to an annoying blinking pattern that took a ridiculous seven button presses to disable each time they were powered up, [Matthew ...
