You can effectively double the sample rate of a DAC by interleaving two DACs into a single unit. Updating each DAC on an alternating basis and switching to the appropriate output double the effective throughput of the overall system...

At times, designers face a limited amount of wire and/or a limited cost to communicate with a remote device such as a sensor. Many devices allow communication over an ac or dc power line employing an AM or FM modulation scheme...
A resistive DAC in a resistive-feedback loop of an op amp lets you create an analog-digital-analog divider...
Designers often use relays as electrically controlled switches. Unlike transistors, their switch contacts are electrically isolated from the control input. However, the power dissipation in a relay coil may render the device unattractive in battery-powered applications. You can lower this dissipation...
The low-cost percentage-relative-humidity radio transmitter operates in a cold-storage warehouse for vegetable storage at temperatures of 1 to 5 °C. It is generally difficult to collect such data from a low-temperature area with high humidity and low illumination...
This article will describe how Bode plots can be used as a tool to quickly assess if your power supply design will meet the requirements for dynamic control behavior...
You can use simple circuits to implement small, regulated plug-in power supplies...
Sometimes, you may need to make a DC/DC converter with minor components that can handle small loads. In this article, we are going to make something like that. This DC/DC converter using transistor has only a few components and can handle small loads or higher voltages...
Researchers at Northwestern University say they have developed a revolutionary transistor that is expected be ideal for lightweight, flexible, high-performance bioelectronics...
Three-phase VCOs see service in many applications, including power inverters and in electronic-music synthesis as control and modulation sources. A previous Design Idea describes a basis for a simple, three-phase VCO. However, adding a few components enhances the circuit's performance...
