In a world reliant on lightning-fast access to information, electronic controls, mobile devices, and more, it is perhaps more important than ever that manufacturers ensure that the circuits that drive their products are built efficiently and adhere to industry standards.

If you’re familiar with the world of electronics, you probably already know about electronic filters and their applications. They remove unwanted frequency components, boost the desired frequencies, or they do both. The difference between active & passive filters lies within their need for power supply, among a few other things. 

To get more insight into the differences between these two types of electronic filters, let’s compare them side by side. 

Without parallel circuits, our homes and electronic devices wouldn’t be able to function the way we require them to function. Parallel circuits keep the lights on in our homes and ensure that different appliances continue to work, even if other appliances are turned off. Parallel circuits are the standard circuits found in home electrical wiring and offer distinct advantages over other circuits. 

The industrial electronics industry manufactures electronic equipment for industrial purposes. Industrial electronics systems include everything from simple components like drives, sensors, and switches to sophisticated power converting technologies, PLCs and robotics.

As the landscape of manufacturing changes, with plant operations becoming increasingly automated, more technically skilled workers are required to maintain your company’s competitive edge.
