This circuit enables you to generate remote control PWM test signals with a (very) generic (and cheap) chip. A recent Design Idea ( Ref. 1 ) illustrated the application of an interesting chip (the LTC6992 ) to remote control (RC) PWM test signal ...
Abstract This article explains why Bode plots are used to showcase the transfer function of a power supply loop. While there are load transient tests in the time domain, the results do not show other important information that a Bode plot does. ...
Toshiba Electronics Europe has expanded its standard digital isolator line-up with the DCL54xx01A series, comprising ten quad-channel devices that support data rates of up to 150 Mbps and operate at temperatures up to 125 C. Target industrial ...
Power line communication (PLC) has been around for decades. It’s a foundational technology for smart grids and industrial networks. Yet, despite widespread deployments, it’s still widely misunderstood. As energy infrastructure expands ...
Zeev Collin is a veteran technology executive and serial entrepreneur with over two decades of leadership in software, semiconductors, and industrial IoT. He is the CEO and co-founder of Semitech Semiconductor, a leading provider of ...
Self-heated Darlingtion transistor pair linearly senses airflow using just two wires for both power in and signal out. Suppose we take a common TO-92 transistor and heat it to a constant temperature differential above ambient. The power input ...
Front-panel push button controls can conveniently adjust a PCB-mounted internal potentiometer’s resistance. Digital potentiometers in conjunction with MCUs find common use in analog circuits. The processor can adjust the gain of an amplifier, ...
