When it comes to getting signals from an analog world into our computers, most of us don’t give much thought to how the hardware that does the job works. But as it turns out, there are a number of ...

Continuing Linear Technology’s popular series of DesignNotes is Volume 3 of Analog Circuit Design (opening figure) with over 1000 pages (and five pounds) of analog circuits. Edited by Bob Dobkin and ...

Analog to Digital Converters (ADCs) are critical components in high-speed, high-resolution applications where an analog or RF signal has to be processed, stored, or transported in digital form. ADC ...

I took a Computer Logic Design class in college, so when I stumbled upon the Ksimus Circuit Simulator, I was intrigued. At the risk of waxing nostalgic, I remember what it was like to build circuits ...

Future models of consumer goods, from digital cameras to MP3 players, could take a leap forward with a new type of analog circuit demonstrated at a trade show Thursday by researchers from the ...

The circuits presented here use ananalog switch—such as a DG419or one-third of a CD4053—to combinean analog signal with a standard PWMsignal. Most microcontrollers can easilygenerate the PWM signal.

Last year, Silicon Valley startup Movellus started selling tools that automate the painstaking process of creating certain analog SoC components. This year, the company is trying to attract more ...

All circuits, analog or digital, have characteristics dependent on the values of their component parts. Invariably, these parts are non-ideal in many ways. Even their most fundamental characteristics, ...

When choosing ICs (or, indeed, any component) the data sheet is your friend – it contains a large amount of useful information and defines how the device works. So do actually Read The Friendly Data ...

We often think of analog computing as a relic of the past, room-sized monstrosities filled with vacuum tubes doing their best to calculate Monte Carlo simulations or orbital velocities. Analog isn’t ...

The move toward multi-die assemblies and the increasing value of sensor data at the edge are beginning to focus attention and raise questions about security in analog circuits. In most SoC designs ...
