We have always had programmable analog circuits. Any circuit that makes outputs change as a function of inputs is in some way programmable. Examples include gain change as a function of voltage or ...

A slew of recent ICs proves that, despite the hopes of digital designers, the real world demands obedience to its analog reality. Proving this fact, the LT5504 RF power detector from Linear Technology ...

Now designers can point and click to create square wave oscillators, a voltage-controlled sample and hold circuit, and a sum/difference stage with biquadratic filter. Originally developed by Anadigm ...

As variable frequency drives (VFDs) are becoming the primary go-to solution for motor control, their capability is not something that can be matched. With every new generation comes better performance ...

All analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) have a certain amount ofinput-referred noise. In most cases,less input noise is better. There are some cases, however, where inputnoise can actually be helpful ...

The ongoing need for intra-circuit interface and limited-functions ICs. How small analog ICs can enable critical transitions and meet specialty roles. In a hard-to-articulate way, it’s somewhat ...

Confused by analog-to-digital converter specifications? Here's a primer to help you decipher them and make the right decisions for your project. Although manufacturers use common terms to describe ...
