Modern operational amplifiers (op amps) and instrumentation amplifiers (in-amps) provide great benefits to the designer, compared with assemblies of discrete semiconductors. A great many clever, ...
Many industries are calling for electronics that can operate reliably in harsh environments, including extremely high temperatures. Traditionally, engineers had to rely on active or passive cooling ...
Serial peripheral interface (SPI) is one of the most widely used interfaces between microcontroller and peripheral ICs such as sensors, ADCs, DACs, shift registers, SRAM, and others. This article ...
This application note presents the electrical aspect of the 1-Wire protocol for new and legacy devices. A special section explains how to determine appropriate timing parameters for a network ...
For a human, experiencing a fall unobserved can be doubly dangerous. The obvious possibility of initial injury may be further aggravated by the possible consequences if treatment is not obtained ...
A reconstruction filter is an important element for creating a clean, low jitter clock signal from a direct digital synthesizer (DDS). A reconstruction filter is used at the output of the DAC to ...
Sensitivity, the ratio of the analog output voltage or digital output value to the input pressure, is a key specification of any microphone. Mapping units in the acoustic domain to units in the ...
An effective method for filtering high frequency power supply noise and cleanly sharing similar voltage supply rails (that is, analog and digital rails for mixed-signal ICs) while preserving high ...
Q: ADI has published a lot of information on dealing with capacitive loading and other stability issues in books, such as the amplifier seminar series, in earlier issues of Analog Dialogue, and in ...
The EVAL-ADUSB2EBZ features USB-to-I 2 C and SPI conversion. It is compatible with 1.8 V and 3.3 V target devices and allows for SigmaStudio â„¢ integration for most SigmaDSP ® processors. Its on-board ...
High-availability systems, such as servers, network switches, redundant-array-of-independent-disk (RAID) storage, and other forms of communications infrastructure, need to be designed for near-zero ...
The thermocouple is a simple, widely used component for measuring temperature. This article provides a basic overview of thermocouples, describes common challenges encountered when designing with them ...
