most recent messages 9/20/2018 6:31:13 AM ThomasMaloney It is not difficult for us to get hold of technological advances that can help us gain that extra power we need. A small device is already able to hold so much power that we do not need to look any... blogs message boards chat GaN: The high frequency substrate suitable for 5G applications, Part 8 Busy Blogger, Busy Blogger, 9/21/2018 Comment now This series of blogs deals with the possible applications of GaN material especially for 5G applications. There are many important companies operating in the electronics field that are massively investing in GaN technology: Understanding the Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Steve Taranovich, Editor-in-Chief, Planet Analog, 9/16/2018 Comment now 4 comments In the near future article, I will be discussing ways to mitigate damage from an EMP event using hardened solutions needed to keep mission-critical systems operational. Most recent post, steve.taranovich, 9/18/2018 12:31:42 PM @jnwoo1----That work must have been so cool! Thanks for sharing this excellent experience... Designing new mmW RADAR ICs for optimum performance Steve Taranovich, Editor-in-Chief, Planet Analog, 9/16/2018 Comment now imec recently announced what it claims is the world's first CMOS 140GHz radar-on-chip system with integrated antennas in standard 28nm technology. This kind of advanced semiconductor technology is critical in the development of radar-based sensors for so many kinds of applications, some of which are building security, remote health monitoring of car ... Magnetics Design Chat, Part 3: Ripple Factor and Matching Magnetics to Circuit Dennis Feucht, Electronics Engineer, 9/15/2018 Comment now Continuing the chat from last time, we turn now to a circuit-related topic, that of current waveforms. The typical converter input waveform is shown with a static (dc) component and a ripple (ac) component. Overvoltage Protection for RTD-Based Measurement Systems Steve Taranovich, Editor-in-Chief, Planet Analog, 9/12/2018 Comment now Editor's note: I am pleased to bring you an excellent RAQ by Yao Zhao, a product application engineer with the China design center in ADI Beijing. Creating sound for Electric Vehicle safety Steve Taranovich, Editor-in-Chief, Planet Analog, 9/10/2018 Comment now The air-polluting, carbon emitting standard liquid fuel combustion engine vehicles have an audible engine sound, even when traveling at low speeds. Pedestrians and other vehicle drivers recognize a moving vehicle via sight and sound coming from tires and other emitted noise when the vehicle may be out of sight. Fully-Differential Amplifiers and the Leading Edge in Electronics Dennis Feucht, Electronics Engineer, 9/7/2018 Comment now 2 comments Semiconductor companies have now had fully-differential amplifiers in their product lines for a few years, though these amplifiers have been in leading-edge electronics for decades. These diff-amps are differential not only at their input but also at their output, doubling output range. Their input and output ports have closed paths without a common ... Most recent post, D Feucht, 9/12/2018 5:04:52 PM Mike, Your chronology about FDAs is right, of course, and it reveals my age. The... Improving Phase Margin for Highly Reactive Rail-to-Rail Output Stage Impedances in Op Amp and Fully Differential Amplifier Applications Michael Steffes, Senior Applications Manager, 9/7/2018 Comment now Locating the source of low phase margin Ron Howard’s ‘Mars’ on the National Geographic channel Steve Taranovich, Editor-in-Chief, Planet Analog, 9/6/2018 Comment now 8 comments I have viewed the first season of a National Geographic TV show based upon Stephen Petranek’s book, "How We'll Live on Mars" (Simon & Schuster/TED, 2015). The book and the TV series discusses Petranek’s belief that people will be living on Mars within the next 20 years. Most recent post, steve.taranovich, 9/16/2018 4:12:10 PM @Andy_I---This mini-series does not have 'hard science', but real-life commentary... Powering medical implants Steve Taranovich, Editor-in-Chief, Planet Analog, 9/3/2018 Comment now I have always admired Medtronic's technology. This is a company that helps improve the lives of so many people with their medical research and innovations. First of all, they employ more than 86,000 people, of which, 9,600 are scientists and engineers with a goal to alleviate pain, restore health, and help to extend life with their technology. How to Charge Lithium Iron Phosphate Rechargeable Batteries Victor Chertakovsky, hardware engineer at Essence Group, 9/2/2018 Comment now Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries are safer than Lithium-ion cells and are available in a range of huge cell sizes between 5 and 100 AH with much longer cycle life than conventional batteries: Next 5 blogs+ All blogs All blogs most commented 4 Understanding the Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Steve Taranovich, Editor-in-Chief, Planet Analog, 9/16/2018 blog roll message boards chat 9/20/2018 6:31:13 AM hi: It is not difficult for us to get hold of technological advances that can help us gain that extra power we need. A small device is already able to hold so much power that we do not need to look any further to run heavy load setups. We just... ThomasMaloney on Multifunction Microprocessor Control and Regulation of Power 9/20/2018 4:11:33 AM Re: CM rejection in ADC's: I had a good time reading this whole series. I'm most likely going to have go back a number of times to make sure that I've absorbed all the information properly before I can start to apply all the things I've learnt. Just want to take the... CameronRobertson on ADC Guide, Part 12: Input Configurations; Single-Ended & Differential Input ADCs 9/20/2018 3:22:47 AM hi: Though the differences are not major add-ons, the impact is relatively significant. Before considering the different aspects of the circuit design, the initial layout needs to be learnt to stretch things out prior to making any arrangements.... UdyRegan on Understanding current-feedback fully differential amplifiers 9/19/2018 3:30:26 AM Re: Quantifying ASIC costs: Those prices do seem pretty reasonable if you were to ask me. However, are they fully customizable according to your own specs that you get to define or are there guidelines that you need to stay close too making it non-flexy afterall? I guess... CameronRobertson on The REAL Cost for a Custom IC 9/18/2018 11:00:24 PM Re: http://tendancemode.Fr: We would always need at least some experience and knowledge before we can truly know whether or not our opinions are based on a solid foundation or otherwise. It would just be some baseless assumptions that could completely make things get...
