Characterizing noise in high-performance voltage-reference ICs 9/3/2009

Measuring the noise performance of a modern voltage reference requires special measurement techniques.

Take advantage of open-source hardware 8/20/2009

Basing your product on a reference design or demo board can speed time to market.

Rex 6000 PDA 8/20/2009

Prying Eyes takes a new look at an old organizer. The $150 Rex 6000 held phone numbers, a to-do list, an appointment calendar, and a memo list, as well as several utilities, such as a calculator and some games.

Use simultaneous-sampling ADCs to monitor three-phase ac line power 8/18/2009

Multichannel simultaneous-sampling analog-to-digital converters trim your costs while simplifying power-monitoring systems.

Programmable chips: piecing together an analog solution 7/23/2009

As configurable and programmable analog chips grow more popular, they are raising serious questions about the traditional way to do board-level design.

Diagnostic ultrasound gets smaller, faster, and more useful 6/25/2009

The signal path in ultrasound machines is a multichannel transmitter-receiver system with blazingly fast data rates. Engineers need to weigh a host of options in designing these complex machines.

Characterize optocouplers in the feedback loop of high-frequency power converters 6/19/2009

Optocouplers will add a phase shift that can make your power supply unstable. Here is how you can measure and compensate the loop.

Stress out; strain gauges in 5/28/2009

The careful selection and application of strain gauges can ensure good results from this difficult measurement.

Use alternative approaches to evaluate dc/dc synchronous buck converters 4/23/2009

Linear systems, online tools, and full simulations help you analyze your designs.

Online tools home in on analog design 4/9/2009

Analog design gets easier and more convenient, thanks to free web applications and downloadable tools.
