For example, you can insert a resistor, a capacitor, an inductor, a diode, or a transistor and get a readout of which pin is which. It seems like magic, but [Andreas Spiess] did the research on ...

Most modern electronic devices consist of several key components: transistors, capacitors, resistors, inductors and diodes ... by temporarily storing energy in an electro-magnetic field and then ...

For a good, matched layout, dummy device must be used. Interdigitation: Placing alternate components. Example 1 We must match two components A and B (A and B can be anything like transistor, resistor, ...
