Schemes of alternating current comparators with an adjustable switching threshold are presented, which allow using color-dynamic indication to control the above- and sub-threshold values of ...

An engineer asked me for help when he encountered what appeared to be strange phenomenon while testing a prototype circuit in the system. He saw “mysterious” clipping distortion of the signal at the ...

Lian Li has introduced the RS series power supply as part of its expanded range of hardware components. This model is built with a fully modular design and complies with the 80 PLUS Gold efficiency ...

Previous installments of this series discussed the need to verify SPICE model accuracy and how to measure the output impedance and small-signal bandwidth of operational amplifier (op amp) models. In ...

Download this article in PDF format. Logarithmic amplifiers with their log functionality are useful for compressing wide dynamic-range signals whereby the measured quantities are in decibels (dB).

In this article, we highlight one of the most important architectural traits of new continuous-time sigma-delta (CTSD) precision ADCs: the easy to drive resistive input and reference. The key to ...
