As high-speed systems become more complex and design cycles become shorter, engineers need to find high-performance yet flexible components to facilitate their system designs. One method is to use ...

A few weeks back, we talked about the no-nos of running I²C over long wires. For prototyping? Yes! But for a bulletproof production environment, this practice just won’t make the cut. This month I ...

One of my first jobs as a freshly minted graduate engineer involved the maintenance of a set of analogue chart recorders. They were museum pieces by the early 1990s: a motorized roll of graph paper ...

The operational amplifier is arguably the most useful single device in analog electronic circuitry. When you apply them in the circuits, you must know their basics and functions. As for the function ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. Use of differential signaling in analog front ends is increasing across a range of applications, from audio processing to factory automation.

ADL5580 is a SiGe dc to 10.0GHz differential-in differential-out gain block from Analog Devices, which has a digital bus for signal path tweaking. “The amplifier offers a referred-to-input noise ...
