- A novel approach to creating a high-efficiency, simple buck-boost converterMike Wong Tamara A. PapaliasA stable voltage from an input supply that is higher and lower than the output is often required. A common solution is to use a boost converter followed by an LDO as shown in Figure 1. The boost converter is configured to accept voltages ranging from 3 V-6 V...Apr 3, 2025
- Adding Feedback Boosts Peak Detector's PrecisionMike Wong Tamara A. PapaliasA signal’s peak is typically measured with a diode. But if the diode is used alone, the input voltage must be much larger than the diode’s turn-on voltage to obtain acceptable accuracy. Since turn-on voltages range from 200 mV in germanium diodes to 700 mV...Jun 6, 2022
- Amplifier removes common-mode noise on RGB differential-video-transmission lineMike Wong Tamara A. PapaliasComprising four twisted pairs within a durable external sheath, Category 5 network cable offers a common and cost-effective choice for transmitting component-video signals. Three of the pairs can carry RGB video signals, and the fourth pair carries audio, synchronization, and...Dec 19, 2017
