Minimizing output ripple and transients from a switching regulator can be important, especially when powering noise-sensitive devices such as high-resolution ADCs, where the output ripple can appear as a distinct spur on the ADC’s output spectrum...

Drones have struggled with reduction of noise, obtaining longer flight times, reducing size, component weight, and safety. Asahi Kasei Microdevices Corporation has now started sampling of an integrated pre-driver IC...

Cloud-connected systems are becoming increasingly important across a wide range of industries. From agriculture to smart cities and consumer to industrial, real-time accessibility to systems and data is a game-changing element for these industries, accelerating both the pace and efficiency of business...

Corresponding to the UL safety standard UL61800-5-1 for industrial equipment, Corporation has developed the CZ-370x series coreless current sensor, which achieving both creepage distance and clearance distance greater than 8 mm...

These PCBs were provided by PCBWay. Obviously I’m going to take some experiments to test these boards and take a look at advantages and disadvantages of these PCBs...

TRINAMIC Motion Control announces the arrival of the new high-performance stepper motor driver TMC2160. Combined with powerful external MOSFET driver stages, the versatile chip covers a wide spectrum of applications...

NVE Corporation announced the new SM324-10E Smart Magnetometer. The new sensor combines a unique Tunneling Magnetoresistance (TMR) sensor element with sophisticated digital signal processing...

A typical piezoelectric sensor comprises a disk of PZT-5A ceramic material with metallized electrodes on its surfaces. Applying electrically conductive epoxy to the electrodes connects external wiring to the sensor. An insulating adhesive attaches the assembly to the structure under test and isolates the sensor from ground-referenced potentials...

Vishay Intertechnology introduced four new 100 V and 120 V TMBS® Trench MOS Barrier Schottky rectifiers that provide up to 20 mV lower forward voltage than previous-generation devices...

The enduring simplicity of PWM DACs will always earn them a place in the designer’s cookbook, but slow response time and the problem of PWM ripple tend to limit their appeal and utility. The usual way of attenuating PWM ripple, an RC low pass filter, can never succeed in completely eliminating it, and only makes output settling time agonizingly slow if you try...
