  1. Digital potentiometers enable programmable biquadratic filter
    Deborah Mancuso Donald Schelle
    Of the many types of analog filters available to designers, few allow easy adjustments of the filter parameters. The biquadratic, or biquad, filter is an exception, however. You can change that filter's corner...

  2. Infrared (IR) receiver circuit minimizes power consumption
    David Lees Donald Schelle
    Receiving infrared (IR) signals while conserving system power is difficult, and typically requires the inclusion of complex power-management routines in the firmware. You can avoid that problem by disconnecting power to...

  3. Accurately simulate an LED
    Donald Schelle Jon Roman
    Solid-state-lighting applications are quickly moving into the mainstream. Although they are more efficient, the LEDs that produce the low-cost light often require a complicated driver circuit. Testing the driver...
