Comparator ICs are designed to compare the voltages that appear at their inputs and to output a voltage representing the sign of the net difference between them. In a comparator circuit, if the ...
Op amps are very high gain amplifiers with differential inputs and single-ended outputs. They are often used in high precision analog circuits, so it is important to measure their performance ...
The difference between insignificant noise and significant noise is the degree to which the noise affects the operation of the circuit in question. For example, a switching power supply has a ...
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 ...
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 ...
LTspice provides macromodels for most of Analog Devices’ switching regulators, linear regulators, and amplifiers, as well as a library of devices for general circuit simulation. Select Analog Devices ...
This applications note introduces a novel and tested topology for boost converters with moderately high boost ratios (such as 10:1 to 50:1). This topology overcomes many of the disadvantages presented ...
Although it is advantageous to implement op-amp circuits with balanced dual supplies, there are many practical applications where, for energy conservation or other reasons, single-supply operation is ...
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 ...
