Javier Solorzano, has been a senior applications engineer at Touchstone Semiconductor Inc. since early 2011. Previously, he was an applications engineer at Micrel Inc. He has a BS in electrical engineering from Santa Clara University and is ...

Mike (often known by the handle mixos) is the founder and editor of Electronics-Lab.com, an electronics engineering community/news and project sharing platform. He studied Electronics and Physics and enjoys everything that has moving electrons and ...

An only slightly less simple followup circuit also ratios sensor capacitance to a reference capacitor to measure micrometers this time linearly. A few weeks ago, Design Ideas published a simple circuit of mine that provides an analog interface to ...

The circuit shown in Figure 1 is a complete microphone signal conditioning system based on a single SSM2166 integrated circuit. Designed primarily for voiceband applications, this integrated circuit provides amplification, RMS detection, limiting, ...

Introduction Switch-mode power supplies based on the buck (step-down) converter principle are widely used in all electronic applications. They do not require a transformer, just a simple coil to efficiently convert a high voltage to a low voltage. ...

Complete Microphone Conditioner with Variable Compression Noise Gating in 14-Lead SOIC package The SSM2166 integrates a complete and flexible solution for conditioning microphone inputs in computer audio systems. It is also excellent for improving ...

Here’s a neat and novel way of using a long-tailed pair to drive not just two but three LEDs. As everyone knows, rainbows always have pots of gold at their ends. This Design Idea reverses that, starting with a pot (no gold, alas) and ending ...
