by Jino Loquinario, Analog Devices Analog Dialogue Introduction It is normal, and almost expected, to be faced with applications for which a solution does not appear to exist. To meet their requirements would require us to think of a solution that ...

Rusty Juszkiewicz, Analog Devices Analog Dialogue Question: Can we generate a differential output signal using instrumentation amplifiers? Answer: As the drive for precision moves forward, fully differential signal chain components are desired for ...

Uttam Sahu, Texas Instruments Many imaging products are moving toward more efficient LED array-based solutions and away from traditional technologies such as lasers or lamps. Applying resistive voltage dividers enables the linear forward biasing of ...

Often used for overcurrent protection, current-sense amplifiers are now finding homes in a wide array of applications, including automotive electronic fuses and three-phase motor control. If you're seeking a way to measure current and power in ...

D Ramírez, S Casans, C Reig, AE Navarro, and J Sánchez EDN 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 ...

Sponsored by: Texas Instruments. Generally speaking, an op amp doesn’t make for a good comparator. To achieve optimal performance and avoid additional debugging, an IC comparator is the best bet. A comparator is a great circuit because it ...

To transfer maximum power from a circuit to a load, the load’s resistance, R L , must match the source resistance, R O (Fig. 1). In the case of a complex load, Z L , and a resistive source, this transfer can require the use of a bulky ...

Raymond Ho Electronic Design Most function generators and network analyzers have one port to provide the output signal. If a differential signal is needed, then you may need to acquire a network analyzer with two output ports at great cost. Of ...

By Todd Toporski, Texas Instruments Analog Applications Journal Part 1 Enhancing immunity to RFI and other high-frequency EMI As shown in previous sections, active filtering and CMRR can reliably reduce circuit noise in the device’s ...

By Todd Toporski, Texas Instruments Analog Applications Journal Introduction Automotive, industrial, medical, and many other applications use sensitive analog circuits that must perform their function while remaining immune to noise disturbances in ...
