Modern operational amplifiers (op amps) and instrumentation amplifiers (in-amps) provide great benefits to the designer, compared with assemblies of discrete semiconductors. A great many clever, ...

VisualDSP++ is an easy-to-install and easy-to-use integrated software development and debugging environment (IDDE) that enables efficient management of projects from start to finish from within a ...

Many industries are calling for electronics that can operate reliably in harsh environments, including extremely high temperatures. Traditionally, engineers had to rely on active or passive cooling ...

Current sensing is a critical function, necessary for precision closed-loop control in applications such as motor control, solenoid control, communications infrastructure, and power management. End ...

A reconstruction filter is an important element for creating a clean, low jitter clock signal from a direct digital synthesizer (DDS). A reconstruction filter is used at the output of the DAC to ...

For a human, experiencing a fall unobserved can be doubly dangerous. The obvious possibility of initial injury may be further aggravated by the possible consequences if treatment is not obtained ...

Even with the widespread use of rail-to-rail single supply op amps, there is still often the requirement for dual rails (for example, ±15 V) to be generated from a single (positive) input power rail ...

Q. I'm not sure I understand how current-feedback amplifiers work as compared with regular op amps. I've heard that their bandwidth is constant regardless of gain. How does that work? Are they the ...

Today’s designs require an increasing number of power rails and supply solutions in electronics systems, with loads ranging from a few mA for standby supplies to over 100A for ASIC voltage regulators.

UART, or universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter, is one of the most used device-to-device communication protocols. This article shows how to use UART as a hardware communication protocol by ...

High-availability systems, such as servers, network switches, redundant-array-of-independent-disk (RAID) storage, and other forms of communications infrastructure, need to be designed for near-zero ...

This article introduces the basic topologies and suggests good practical usage for ensuring stable operation of low-dropout voltage regulators (LDOs). We will also discuss design characteristics of ...
