In a hard-to-articulate way, it’s somewhat comforting to know that even in our world of highly integrated, multifunction ...
Once past the basics of Ohm’s Law and the schematic diagram of a single-ended op-amp set for a gain of 100, I would go into ...
This article discusses the three most common reliability prediction techniques for the failure rates of ICs and how safety ...
£1M project to develop new products and enhance design-automation technology Cambridge, UK, 30 July 2019 --Agile Analog, a Cambridge-based Analog IP company, announces it has successfully been awarded ...
Today's circuit for the same LVDT bears little resemblance to our triumph of analog design. Now, a DSP generates a 5-kHz sine wave for excitation, and a 12-bit, 40k-sample/sec converter digitizes the ...
Analog circuits, despite constituting a small proportion of overall electronic systems, account for a substantial share of system failures. Consequently, the development of robust fault diagnosis ...
Op amps are often the most critical elements in any RC-active-filter design and deserve much attention (see sidebar “Critical op-amp parameters”). Voltage-feedback op amps are still the mainstay of RC ...
So when I recently came across an early 1970s HP 7041A X-Y recorder while clearing out my parents’ attic, I knew that I just ...
Book Abstract: The tools and techniques you need to break the analog design bottleneck! Ten years ago, analog seemed to be a dead-end technology. Today, System-on-Chip (SoC) designs are increasingly ...
As the complexity of analog circuit optimization problems increases, existing optimization algorithms struggle with intricate circuit specifications. In this paper, we propose a hybrid ...
First up, we get a 100 percent analog, multi-stage transistor-based fuzz circuit with gain, level, and tone controls. In addition to this, a toggle switch gives instant access to three tonal ...
Next in line is the practical circuit of a simple anti-tamper switch module. The little circuitry is also additionally equipped with an RC filter that minimizes the bouncing effect, making this setup ...
