Analog designers often need matched resistors for their circuits. The best solution is to buy integrated resistor networks, but what can you do if the parts vendors do not offer the desired values or matching grade?...

The 16-bit DACs are a de facto standard for high DC accuracy and precision domain conversion, but surprisingly few are fully 16-bit (0.0015%) precise...

Stephen Woodward’s DI, “Flip ON Flop OFF” does a wonderful job for DC voltages. I thought of extending this idea to much-needed AC voltages...

Toshiba Electronics Europe starts sample shipment for the TB9M001FTG, the second product in the innovative Smart Motor Control Driver series...

I recently published a Design Idea showing some very simple circuits for PWM programming of standard regulator chips, both linear and switching, “Revisited: Three discretes suffice to interface PWM to switching regulators”...

PWM is a simple, cool, cheap, cheerful, and (therefore) popular DAC technology. Excellent differential nonlinearity (DNL) and monotonicity are virtually guaranteed by PWM...

A project in the UK and the Netherlands is using Large Language Models (LLMs) to create hardware designs with a technique it calls...

The circuit below will trickle charge a four cell pack of AA or AAA NiMH batteries...

Some industrial applications require you to feed a low-power dc/dc converter from a three-phase source and possibly to deal with line-to-line voltages of 200 or 400 V rms. Further, the neutral terminal of the ac source may be unavailable for connection...

High speed analog-to-digital converters are by definition devices that sample an analog signal and, as such, must have sample clock inputs. Some system designers that utilize ADCs have observed a slower than expected startup from the time the sample clock is initially applied...
