I guess my incessant moaning (and that of others with larger production runs <g>) about the lapse in cap supply must have paid off some time in the last decade! ... blogs message boards chat An E96 formula: How Can You Resist It? Kendall Castor-Perry, Filter Wizard extraordinaire, 3/16/2019 Comment now 2 comments Spreadsheets are brilliant for filter design, and I write much less design software these days. Don't get me wrong, I love the BASIC interpreter that I use, BBC BASIC, available in a native Windows version and a multiplatform version (Windows, x86 Linux, MacOS, Android, Raspberry Pi and even iOS) using SDL2.0. It's a compact but complete Windows ... Most recent post, kendallcp, 3/18/2019 6:17:16 PM Thanks for that, Mike! I guess my incessant moaning (and that of others with... The Solar Boat: Electronics preserving the environment, Part 1 Busy Blogger, Busy Blogger, 3/16/2019 Comment now A boat's propulsion system is usually fuel-based, with emission of exhausted fuel into the sea which pollutes the sea water and damages the environment. The introduction of the solar boat is necessary to preserve our planet, which is mainly covered by water; the autonomous drive option is a pleasant alternative (see Figure 1): Pre-APEC latest Product Introductions Steve Taranovich, Editor-in-Chief, Planet Analog, 3/14/2019 Comment now SAR Converter with PGA Achieves Dynamic Range of 125 dB Steve Taranovich, Editor-in-Chief, Planet Analog, 3/13/2019 Comment now Editor’s note:I am bringing you another of Relatively Asked Questions; this one authored by Thomas Tzscheetzsch, Analog Devices Boeing MAX 8: Technological advances and pilot training Steve Taranovich, Editor-in-Chief, Planet Analog, 3/13/2019 Comment now 4 comments I live very close to Luke Air Force Base in Litchfield, AZ. F-35s fly over my home every day. I have met some of the young pilots flying these electronic aircraft in the local supermarket (See my EDN article on the F-35 here) These “kids”, but I must clarify---very talented and well-trained “kids”, were not too long ago playing ... Most recent post, DaveR1234, 3/18/2019 1:54:04 PM This is the best article I've read on the subject. I think 99% of the fault... Brushless-DC motor systems for the uninitiated Matt Hein, Marketing Manager, Brushless-DC Motor Drives, Texas Instruments , 3/11/2019 Comment now 2 comments After only a few years of being completely immersed in the culture of motor drivers, it is very easy for me to take for granted the fact that most people are not familiar with electromechanical spinning. This has gotten me into multiple conversations in which I should have proverbially thrown out the shovel rather than digging myself into a deeper hole. Most recent post, mshein11, 3/13/2019 9:04:06 PM Hello Mr. Sinnett, After having spent several years dealing with stepper motors,... Stability Issues and Resolutions for High Speed Voltage Feedback Op Amps, Insight #6 Michael Steffes, Sr. Applications Manager, 3/10/2019 Comment now While there has been a vast record of earlier work (ref. 1) on this topic, here we will combine a few concepts to show some emerging issues and paths to improve the Phase Margin (PM) for VFA stages that have slipped into perhaps an unsuitably low margin condition. Starting with the most ubiquitous issue of load capacitance induced problems, we will move ... Ping! And the accuracy is gone Kendall Castor-Perry, Filter Wizard extraordinaire, 3/9/2019 Comment now In some articles on driving sampling ADCs, you see the settling behaviour at the inputs being tweaked with resistors and capacitors. It's good to see the subject raised, but the treatment always seems rather empirical to me, and doesn't explain where all the ringing you see comes from. You all want to know, surely? So here is some simulation work I did ... Why I am so proud of my membership in IEEE Eta Kappa Nu Steve Taranovich, Editor-in-Chief, Planet Analog, 3/7/2019 Comment now 1 Comment I am presently reading the February issue of the 'Bridge', the magazine of the IEEE-Eta Kappa Nu honor society. Check out some of these excellent Feature stories: Most recent post, D Feucht, 3/9/2019 6:16:55 PM My regards to HKN for reaching out to African natives with electrical engineering... What do Analog Engineers do when they meet socially? Steve Taranovich, Editor-in-Chief, Planet Analog, 3/3/2019 Comment now 1 Comment The simple answer is to just attend the annual Analog Aficionados dinner in Silicon Valley and see for yourself. Most recent post, DaveR1234, 3/6/2019 9:12:09 AM Good to see the young participants. I love that RED hair! Texas Instruments enters the BAW resonator technology realm Steve Taranovich, Editor-in-Chief, Planet Analog, 3/2/2019 Comment now I was very happy to see Texas Instruments (TI) recently enter the Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW) resonator realm. This effort is critical to the efficient movement and analysis of large amounts of data. With the addition of a connected MCU, TI now has a really neat dynamic duo solution that will enable a new level of performance in technology.

The radio guys certainly need plenty of... kendallcp on An E96 formula: How Can You Resist It? 3/18/2019 1:54:04 PM Good summary: This is the best article I've read on the subject. I think 99% of the fault lies with Boeing. They took away the usual method of disabling the automated stabilizer, pulling on the stick, for no good reason. 1% for the pilot... DaveR1234 on Boeing MAX 8: Technological advances and pilot training 3/18/2019 12:50:20 PM Not unseen before: These crashes remind me of the Lufthansa Flight 2904 crash at Warsaw (1993) ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lufthansa_Flight_2904 ) plus some other crashes that could be backtracked to automated systems with less-than-optimum requirements specifications. We'll...

Please let me know what you think? To me, I still say that more intensive training is needed on this kind of aircraft and lots of simulator time.... steve.taranovich on Boeing MAX 8: Technological advances and pilot training 3/14/2019 10:26:01 AM Excellent: Great article Steve with great insight.

Bob_D on Boeing MAX 8: Technological advances and pilot training 3/13/2019 9:04:06 PM Re: Yet another brushless type: Hello Mr. Sinnett, After having spent several years dealing with stepper motors, I have decided that they are the Pandora's box of motors. If you want a simple, low-power motor for position control, a stepper motor is easily the best choice. However,... mshein11 on Brushless-DC motor systems for the uninitiated 3/13/2019 11:01:48 AM Yet another brushless type: Another form of "sensorless", brushless motor is the Stepper Motor. These are extremely useful for certain specific applications that don't require high speed. Typically a stepper motor is used in situations where the motor is required... j.sinnett on Brushless-DC motor systems for the uninitiated 3/13/2019 3:24:59 AM About the pull-up component: Hi Dean: How about set the pull-up components as an inductor parallelled with a resistor for example 50 ohm. Choose the inductor value big enough at the working frequency to make the parallelled impedance is almost same as the resistor. And...
