A common issue that arises when designing an ADC circuit is how to protect the ADC inputs from over voltage. Protection of ADC inputs have many scenarios and potential solutions. ADCs from all vendors ...

The battery fuel status indicator is a common feature of the battery-supported handheld devices. The battery fuel measurement is achieved by measuring the discharging and charging currents in real ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Foundries and packaging houses are wrestling how to control heat in the testing phase, particularly as devices continue to shrink and as thermally sensitive analog circuits are added into SoCs and ...

Analog circuitry is usually a small part of a large SoC, but it does not scale in the same way as digital circuitry under Moore’s Law. The power consumed by analog is becoming an increasing concern, ...

We were recently tipped off to quite a resource — on the Texas Instruments website, there’s a page where you can view and download a compendium of analog sub-circuits. Individual circuits can be ...

Why didn’t they do this sooner? That’s the question some embedded engineers designing with microcontrollers (MCUs) are asking about the idea of adding analog signal-chain components in MCUs. With ...
