Accurate high-side current sensing is necessary in many applications, including motor control, solenoid control, and power management (for example, dc-to-dc converters and battery monitoring). In such ...

Analog Devices’ attenuators are available in a broad range of architectures and form factors, giving designers the flexibility to select a part best aligns with their system requirements. The parts ...

Modern operational amplifiers (op amps) and instrumentation amplifiers (in-amps) provide great benefits to the designer, compared with assemblies of discrete semiconductors. A great many clever, ...

A source measure unit (SMU) is an instrument that combines a sourcing function and a measurement function on the same pin or connector. It can source voltage or current and simultaneously measure ...

In the closing of RAQ 56, Amplifier, attenuator or both?, I indicated that you can force the noise gain (NG) while maintaining the signal gain. The amplifier’s stability in a circuit is determined by ...

Many industries are calling for electronics that can operate reliably in harsh environments, including extremely high temperatures. Traditionally, engineers had to rely on active or passive cooling ...

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 ...

Solutions that bridge the physical and digital world to improve sensitivity and results reliability, and ensure measurements are not limited by electronics design. Advanced IC test components and vast ...

This application note presents the electrical aspect of the 1-Wire protocol for new and legacy devices. A special section explains how to determine appropriate timing parameters for a network ...

For a human, experiencing a fall unobserved can be doubly dangerous. The obvious possibility of initial injury may be further aggravated by the possible consequences if treatment is not obtained ...

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 ...
