When considering any new part in the signal chain, input/output impedance is usually an important spec to “bolt” the necessary signal-chain blocks together properly. For a high-speed converter, this ...

As operating speeds increase, the effect of the internal impedance at the input nodes become more critical to achieving the desired frequency response. The most common issues revolve around the common ...

Editor's note: Linear Integrated Systems co-founder, John H. Hall, is an industry veteran who is still hands on when it comes to innovations like the latest JFET, LSK489. Anyone using an electronic ...

Though sometimes taken for granted, designers shouldn’t overlook the intricacies of voltage- and current-feedback op amps—integral players in the analog and mixed-signal worlds. Op amps amplify tiny ...

I was wandering through the nearby Bestbuy/Unnecessary-Service-Plans-R-Us with my friend this weekend, killing Saturday boredom with mindless browsing. While we were examining some very nice computer ...

The oscilloscope is probably the most versatile piece of test equipment you can have on your electronics bench, offering a multitude of possibilities for measuring timing, frequency and voltage as ...

Electric motors that are either poorly maintained or which lack the proper electrical protection are the second greatest cause of electrical fires. So says the Factory Mutual Research Corp., a ...
