Multiple power supplies fortify high-side gate control
For a recent design project, a robust power supply was needed to control the gates of high-side FETs. Optocouplers readily translate the logic signals up to the correct control voltages to drive the FETs. However, to ensure that the FETs turn on and off cleanly, the design...

Light-Sensing Circuit Yields Human-Like Dynamic Range
The human eye is remarkably sensitive to changes in light level. In ambient light ranging over several orders of magnitude, the eye can detect changes of only a few percent, yielding an incredible dynamic range. The primary trick is that the eye’s response to stimulus is...
