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, ...

Analog filter design remains a cornerstone of modern signal processing, instrumental in a vast array of applications spanning telecommunications, instrumentation, and biomedical engineering. Recent ...

Every great active filter has a carefully selected operational amplifier to create an optimum solution. Understanding the relationship between the filter’s quality factor (Q), circuit gain (G), and ...

Analog filters implemented in CMOS technology continue to be a cornerstone in the development of modern electronic systems. By integrating active components such as operational transconductance ...

Many analog signal-chain circuits require ac-coupling to eliminate unwanted dc voltages or offsets. The simplest means to ac-couple is to use a capacitor in series with the signal path, thus forming a ...

One of the major difficulties in studying electricity, especially when compared to many other physical phenomena, is that it cannot be observed directly by human senses. We can manipulate it to ...

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 ...

Siemens Digital Industries Software has introduced Tessent AnalogTest software – a solution that looks to reduce pattern generation time for analogue circuit tests from months to just a matter of days ...
