The SoC (system on a chip) is among the newest type of chip and the most welcoming to new manufacturers. In the SoC, all of the electronic components needed for an entire system are built into a single chip. The capabilities of a SoC are more extensive than those of a microcontroll...
This type of failure occurs at the soldered joints in circuit boards. These fractures develop due to tensile stresses in the components during assembly, testing, and transport. Additionally, these fractures exist because of exposure to shocks, vibrations, and thermal excursions. Brittle fracture in ...
Common Integrated Circuit Package Types There are various IC package types, each with specific characteristics and advantages. Here are the most common IC package types: Dual In-line Package (DIP): DIP is one of the oldest and most popular through-hole package types. It has two parallel rows...
The switch opens and closes the electric circuit. Load refers to electrical components, for example, a bulb. What are the types of electric circuits? Electric circuits have two types: series and parallel circuits. In series circuits, electric components connect like a chain. In parallel circuits...

In a series circuit, the same current flows through all the components. The total voltage across the circuit is the sum of the voltages across each component, and the total resistance is the sum of the resistances of each component. In this circuit, V = V1 + V2 + V3 and R = R1 +...
Integrated circuit, an assembly of electronic components with miniature devices built up on a semiconductor substrate. The resulting circuit is thus a small monolithic ‘chip,’ which may be as small as a few square millimeters. The individual circuit co
In 1959, Integrated Circuit was developed, where several electronic and electrical components were fabricated over a single silicon wafer. Integrated circuits use low power to operate as well as provide smooth output. Further, the enhancement of transistors over an integrated circuit can also be incre...
Through-hole package components have lead pins that are stuck through one side of a circuit board and soldered onto the pads on the other side of the board to mechanically and electrically connect them to the PCB. These packages come in ceramic and plastic, and they are typed in these cate...
The MOSFET failure occurs frequently for seemingly inexplicable reasons even with the good design, the finest components & a new motor. Generally, MOSFETs are very robust – however, they can fail very quickly due to exceeded ratings. Here we are going to explain some of the main failure modes...
