Fainting in Coils Kendall Castor-Perry, Filter Wizard extraordinaire, 4/18/2019 Comment now "Salmon taste on kipper money, that's what you have!", my Grandma used to say to me. I'm not sure it was true, since in those days I didn't really like Salmon. But she was making a Victorian point (yes, she was that old) that you needed to match up your expectations to your resources. Seems to me like the world could do with a bit more of that message ... The e-health program: A new approach to health care, by utilizing electronic technology, Part 6 Busy Blogger, Busy Blogger, 4/18/2019 Comment now Electronics technology is playing a progressively more important role in the field of health care because it offers many possibilities; for example, the remote monitoring of patient's conditions by tracking the physical parameters. One instance is monitoring the heart rate or blood pressure in order to enhance the quality of their life, this is known as ... Wishful Thinking Aubrey Kagan, Engineering Manager, Emphatec, 4/17/2019 Comment now 1 Comment In the third year of my engineering studies there was a rumour that there would be a question on the exam about a FET with some kind of "trench". We scurried to prepare for such an eventuality which, of course, never came up, so I don't know if this was a real concept 40+ years ago, but today there are certainly "trenchFETs". In all probability the ... Most recent post, BillWM, 4/17/2019 10:34:30 PM I wish Ionic Matterial's new "Solid Polymer" battery technology was available now. ... Recent 2019 updates in V2X technology Steve Taranovich, Editor-in-Chief, Planet Analog, 4/14/2019 Comment now In this article, I will examine some of the latest efforts in V2X technology. This system can't come fast enough for my liking-we desperately need this technology to save lives. V2X must have a robust and isolated cybersecurity protocol. Ideally, a global platform should be developed, but probably regional areas will start the deployment with ... Countdown to s-to-z… Kendall Castor-Perry, Filter Wizard extraordinaire, 4/12/2019 Comment now This column is a "Part 2" and it'll make much more sense if you read An Excelent fit, Sir! first. Well, I hope it will, anyway. In that column, we used Excel's 'solver' functionality to bend a filter transfer function to our will. Or, rather, our customer's will, since he is much more important than we are. Extra pop-quiz points for getting the pun in ... An Excelent fit, Sir! Kendall Castor-Perry, Filter Wizard extraordinaire, 4/12/2019 Comment now At the time of writing, some 9 years ago, the cat was just out of the bag. PSoC3, Cypress's then-new family of paradigm-busting programmable mixed-signal systems-on-chip, was announced. Phew, it's hot in here, off with that marketing hat (it's been on and off periodically since then...). A new era in Space Electronics Steve Taranovich, Editor-in-Chief, Planet Analog, 4/11/2019 Comment now 5 comments This Planet Analog blog is the ‘Anchor’ page to a Special project on Space Electronics that will cover such key areas as radiation shielding and mitigation for space passenger safety, advances in microcircuits with reduced size and weight using Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) plastic encapsulated microcircuits (PEM), EMI in Space, Rad hard ... Most recent post, steve.taranovich, 4/13/2019 4:42:20 PM NASA just announced that SpaceX will fly its Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART)... FCC rule said to grow amateur radio and benefit engineers Steve Taranovich, Editor-in-Chief, Planet Analog, 4/10/2019 Comment now Professor Theodore (Ted) Rappaport is a faculty advisor for NYU amateur radio. See my EDN article on his Having a Field Day. GaN enhancement for 48V DC/DC power conversion in servers and automotive Steve Taranovich, Editor-in-Chief, Planet Analog, 4/10/2019 Comment now Efficient Power Conversion (EPC) has recently introduced two new, 100V, GaN devices that are able to handle 48V server and automotive needs. I will be examining the 48V server power solutions to the processor as well as in automotive and energy storage systems (See my article Bi-directional DC/DC power supplies: Which way do we go?) bi-directional ... Scalable, Intuitive Power Sequencing System Accelerates Design and Debug Navdeep Singh Dhanjal, Architect designer, Analog Devices, 4/8/2019 Comment now Editor's note: I found this product solution to be a unique and very interesting solution for designers who need power sequencing especially with a large number of power rails. This product looks like it can make designers work a bit easier and with a faster time-to-market.

Have we had any contribution into the interest to want to develop these projects at all perhaps? It would be nice to know if we had played some part in pushing... MelBrandle on Pre-APEC latest Product Introductions 4/18/2019 1:05:03 AM Indeed needed: I think it is indeed still necessary if we wish to create a flawless setup. We know that soldering somehow binds 2 ends together strongly so your setup becomes more durable. It is a simple yet very practical way to make our products last much... MelBrandle on Is soldering by hand still needed? 4/18/2019 12:18:45 AM Cut back a little: I would say that it should be fine to cut back just a little, but not completely. I know that whatever new data that has been made readily accessible thus far is endless, but that doesn't mean that we can simply disregard the early discoveries.... MelBrandle on Is It Time to Cut Back on Study of Classic Analog Filters? 4/17/2019 10:34:30 PM Wishful thinking - Batteries: I wish Ionic Matterial's new "Solid Polymer" battery technology was available now. Seems a lot safer than what is on the market now. BillWM on Wishful Thinking 4/17/2019 9:46:43 PM op amps suffering slew: There is another amusing effect when a classical op amp goes into slew-rate: it's output noise will often drop to a much lower value than when not slewing. Think about it. Katie OQ on Use it or Slew it 4/16/2019 4:01:27 PM Re: Steve I'm amazed: I appreciate that David! I am glad you enjoy the articles steve.taranovich on SAR Converter with PGA Achieves Dynamic Range of 125 dB 4/16/2019 4:54:10 AM Steve I'm amazed: Steve I'm amazed by your passion and how you manage to come up with all these new articles.

SpaceX is doing an amazing job. They have a billionaire that decides how to fund the company; NASA has Congress. China is up there on the dark side of the Moon. That's an omen steve.taranovich on A new era in Space Electronics 4/12/2019 2:39:04 AM Re: no more 2028: Political risks aside, the fortunate difference this time is the grand back-up plan that is SpaceX. That essentially confines technical risks to the orbital transfer and lunar parts of the project, and NASA can still do those things fairly... Homer on A new era in Space Electronics 4/11/2019 11:16:52 PM Too precious: I actually have several of these vintage radios at home. It is not that I still use them because I can easily listen to any stations from the comfort of my bed with my radio app on the cellphone. However, they are a precious memoir that are...

The state machine is certainly less flexible but the application sometimes does not require... freedave Newbie 11/19/2014 2:02:30 PM Join us for a Digital Power chat session on November 19, 2014 at 1 PM ET (10 AM PT) : Well, I really want to thank our experts Dave Freeman and Zhenyu Yu for their participation and expertise in this session.
