Long before anyone invented social Web sites, such as Facebook and MySpace, EDN's Design Ideas provided a true community for exchanging circuit designs with other electronic-design engineers. Design Ideas are an early and valuable example of user-generated content. They are one of EDN's best-read sections and continue to provide a forum for what is the essence of a hardware designer's job. The largest category within Design Ideas is power-related designs.
-
"Analog switch converts 555 timer into pulse-width modulator"
-
"Circuit provides bidirectional, variable-speed motor control"
-
"Designing instrumentation circuitry with rms/dc converters"
-
"Constant-current, constant-voltage converter drives white LEDs"
All of the Design Ideas that made this list are popular, but the Design Idea "Circuit makes simple high-voltage inverter" has been popular since its publication in 2004.
