See Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 of this series. The previous FET circuits pertained to voltage-controlled signal amplitude circuits. That is, the input signal’s amplitude can be changed at the output ...

In discussing the characteristics and performance of various interconnect systems; two points should be kept in mind. Balance is defined in terms of the impedance of the two signal conductors with ...

ISSCC, the International Solid-state circuits conference, is the IEEE’s annual showcase for all that is best in on-chip circuit design from across the globe. Thousands of engineers will flock there ...

A few summers of my misspent youth found me working at an outdoor concert venue on the local crew. The local crew helps the show’s technicians — don’t call them roadies; they hate that — put up the ...

Diodes has introduced a digital stereo audio amplifier with built-in boost converter that allows 8+8W to be delivered from one Li-ion cell and 12+12W from two cells in series. Integrated output noise ...

Editor’s note: I am so happy that there are still companies around that create precision, discrete transistors in our industry; Linear Integrated Systems is one of the best I have encountered. There ...
