Although well-known to active-filter theorists and designers, GICs (generalized impedance converters) may be less familiar to analog generalists. Comprising a one-port active circuit typically comprising low-cost operational amplifiers, resistors, and capacitors...

With the ICs E524.32 and E524.33, Elmos presents the next generation of the "Direct-Drive" ultrasonic IC family for automotive ultrasonic parking assistance systems. Furthermore, these ICs can be used for distance measurements in industrial applications or robotic applications...

The name of Dr. Slobodan Ćuk is familiar to most engineers as the originator of the eponymous Ćuk DC-DC converter architecture, justly famed for its low input & output ripple currents, and ability to act as a buck-boost...

To better protect industrial systems from the dangers of high-voltage signals, equipment designers can now turn to the new robust and reliable MAX22445 5 kVRMS four-channel reinforced digital isolator from Maxim Integrated...

The prescaler described here connects to the front end of a 100-MHz frequency counter to extend its coverage range to 10 GHz. The circuit is a far less expensive way to measure frequencies above 100 MHz than buying a 1- or 10-GHz frequency counter...

Active-Semi announced the first member of a new family of PAC high-performance motor controllers with the PAC5523 IC. It is supported by an Evaluation Kit (EVK) and accompanying firmware for easy and fast evaluation of advanced motor control solutions...

Pulse generators often need voltage comparators with accurately defined hysteresis, and such comparators need bipolar voltage references. Most voltage-reference-cell ICs are referenced to their low-side supply rail. If your circuit needs both positive and negative voltages, you could create the negative reference voltage...

Infineon Technologies and Zylia, a Poland-based developer of recording technologies, have enabled the world’s first portable recording studio...

Analog Devices announces the Power by Linear LTC4162, a highly integrated, high voltage multi-chemistry synchronous monolithic step-down battery charger and PowerPath manager with on-board telemetry functions and optional maximum power point tracking...

My home has numerous LED bulbs, be them in recessed fixtures, hanging fixtures, and standing lamps. So far two have failed...
