In a previous article (“Circuit Dynamics for Design”), we reviewed some of the mathematical properties of transfer functions in the s-domain and how generally to find the open-circuit time constants ...

Basso (ON Semiconductor, Toulouse, France) has written a new book, Linear Circuit Transfer Functions—An Introduction to Fast Analytical Techniques. This book consists of five chapters.

Power supplies use control-loop circuits to produce constant voltage or current. The transfer function—gain and phase as a function of frequency—provides valuable information about a control loop’s ...

We characterized the transfer function again using the pBAD promoter to initiate transcription and drive the circuit. The activity of the pBAD promoter was first measured as a function of ...
