Vladimir Dvorkin, Linear Technology EDN Whether you measure or use RF circuits that operate in the popular 2.4-GHz ISM (industrial/scientific/medical) band, cordless telephones, Wi-Fi access points, Bluetooth devices, and microwave ovens can ...
Michael Fisch EDN In 1940, William Hewlett and David Packard launched a product from a garage. The product was a Wien-bridge oscillator. It consisted of a single-pole highpass filter in series with a single-pole lowpass filter. To keep the gain ...
Introduction Data loss is a concern in telecom, industrial and automotive applications where embedded systems require a dependable supply of power. Sudden power interruptions can corrupt data during read and write operations performed by hard ...
[Editor’s note: This programmable DC reference calibrator will make a great DIY project for your lab bench. Full design files for the analog portion are provided, leaving the microcontroller part up to you. Send me your code if you build this ...
Alex Rysin Electronic Design Limiter circuits are often needed to prevent a wide-range signal from overloading the next stage in the signal chain this user-adjustable circuit provides bipolar limiting at precise preset value. As the name implies, a ...
Introduction A new family of op amps features industry leading speed versus supply current. The LTC6261/LTC6262/LTC6263 family (single, dual, quad) provides 30 MHz at a low 240 uA supply current, with 400 uV maximum offset voltage and rail-to-rail ...
George Qian, Linear Technology Design Note 559 Introduction In traditional isolated high voltage flyback converters, tight regulation is achieved using opto-couplers to transfer regulation information from the secondary-side reference circuitry to ...
By using two basic power-supply topologies in conjunction, this circuit provides an easily controlled current source that is well-suited for dimming LEDs Many applications for LED illumination require wide dimming ratios, which can be easily done ...
