- Stephen WoodwardFamous analog designer and author Jim Williams published an awesome design in 1986 for a 100-MHz voltage to frequency converter ( Ref. 1 ). He named this high-climber (picture it on the roof of the Empire State building swatting biplanes out of the ...Mar 25, 2025
- Nick CornfordIn Part 1, we saw how to make an oscillator whose pitch, as opposed to frequency, can be made proportional to a control voltage. In this second part, we’ll look at some alternative ways of arranging things for other possible applications. To ...Mar 14, 2025
- Stephen WoodwardIt’s remarkable how many switching regulator chips use the same basic two-resistor network for output voltage programming. Figure 1 illustrates this feature in a typical (buck type) regulator. See R 1 and R 2 where: Quantitatively, the V ...Mar 7, 2025
- Israel SchneidermanTraditionally, the reception quality of a digital receiver is expressed in terms of BER (bit-error rate). This figure is the proportion of received bit errors in a given period. Typically, you measure the BER in the lab by applying an RF signal, ...Mar 4, 2025
- Stephen WoodwardToggle, slide, push-pull, push-push, tactile, rotary, etc. The list of available switch styles goes on and on (and off?). Naturally, as mechanical complexity goes up, so (generally) does price. Hence simpler generally translates to cheaper. Figure ...Feb 6, 2025
- Stephen WoodwardFigure 1’s silly-simple voltage-to-time ADC is an exercise in dynamic range. Assuming that it is used with a 10-MHz counter/timer, its resolution is roughly 10 µV per count for inputs around 0 V and 100 mV per count at 1 kV, and it ...Jan 24, 2025
- Eugene KaplounovskiShort-circuit protection is an obvious requirement for a power supply, especially when its load connects to a cable that's subject to damage. Many modern power-converter ICs include some means of protection, such as thermal shutdown, against ...Jan 22, 2025
- Stephen WoodwardFigure 1 is a cheap and cheerful voltage inverter I offered awhile back in “A simple, accurate, and efficient charge pump voltage inverter for $1” ( Ref. 1 ). Figure 1. The generic and versatile xx4053 provides the basis for a cheap, ...Jan 14, 2025
- James WilsonMystery solved? Not quite. I made a test coupon of the output transmission line and measured it. Over the crossover region, it showed a mere 0.04 dB loss with increasing frequency, much less than the measured result. I turned my attention back to ...Jan 9, 2025
- James WilsonStudents, hobbyists, and professionals today enjoy unprecedented access to powerful and affordable test equipment for understanding and building electronic projects. But as enthusiast projects have become more advanced and ambitious, it is still ...Jan 9, 2025
