High-Speed Bi-Directional Dual Supply Level Shifter IC from Diodes Incorporated Aimed at Automotive Applications
Add gain to an absolute-value amplifier
The absolute-value amplifier is a basic building block in test-and-measurement and signal-processing applications. The addition of a DPP (digitally programmable potentiometer) adds another dimension, G (gain), to this key circuit...
Texas Instruments announces High-Speed RRI Comparator with LVDS Outputs
Texas Instruments has announced TLV3604 and TLV3605 800-ps, high-speed comparators with LVDS outputs and rail-to-rail inputs...
Variable load tests voltage sources
The circuit serves as a variable, current-sink load for testing voltage sources. You use digital commands to set the load current of the device under test over a wide range, independently of the device under test's output voltage...
650 V fast level-shift SOI EiceDRIVER with integrated bootstrap diodes offer superior robustness and fast frequency switching
Infineon Technologies broadens its EiceDRIVER portfolio with new 650 V half-bridge and high and low side gate drivers. The new devices are based on the company’s unique silicon-on-insulator technology...
Low-component-count logic probe works with TTL and CMOS logic
The circuit uses the LM358 dual op amp running as a comparator, plus a few other inexpensive components, to make a TTL/CMOS-logic probe. The circuit gets its power from the circuit under test, which lets it work with TTL or CMOS logic...
