It definitely takes some commitment to keep up with regular blog posts, but it is rewarding to hear from folks like yourself who are reading... blogs message boards chat Optimized Power Supply Measurement Setup Frederik Dostal, Power management technical expert, Analog Devices, 8/11/2018 Comment now Question: GaN: The high frequency substrate suitable for 5G applications, Part 5 Busy Blogger, Busy Blogger, 8/10/2018 Comment now This blog series is focused on GaN, a substrate for integrated circuits that shows exceptional performance in terms of wide frequency broadband especially suitable for very high-speed data transmission applications like the new 5G communication standard: Designing LiDAR and more into Autonomous E racing Steve Taranovich, Editor-in-Chief, Planet Analog, 8/9/2018 Comment now I have a pathological interest in the promotion of electric vehicles; Formula E racing is one of the most exciting venues for techies like myself. See some of my articles on Formula E in the links at the end of this blog. Extracting Loop Gain and Phase Information from Simulation Michael Steffes, Senior Applications Manager, 8/9/2018 Comment now How Stable is your Op Amp or FDA design? Designing Drivers for Piezoelectric Motors Rudy Ramos, Technical Content Marketing Project Manager, Mouser Electronics, 8/8/2018 Comment now Piezoelectric motors are increasingly popular for linear motion, but the design of the accompanying drivers is very different from those used by traditional electromagnetic motors. Employing the piezoelectric effect, a voltage across a specific type of crystal causes it to elongate by a small amount (typically 0.1%). The motors themselves are small ... Magnetics Design Chat: Part 1, Optimal Design of Magnetics Components Dennis Feucht, Electronics Engineer, 8/6/2018 Comment now One of the seemingly most difficult aspects of power electronics is how to design power inductors and transformers. This specialty is often reserved for magnetics experts while electronics engineers concentrate on converter circuit design. However, some understanding of magnetic component design can provide insight into optimization of both circuit and ... Silicon Carbide Leads the Wide Band-Gap Revolution Dr. Zhongda Li, NPI Manager, United SiC, 8/6/2018 Comment now Efficient power conversion has a major role to play in saving energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, while preserving or increasing living standards worldwide. At the same time, consumer desires are driving demand for electric vehicles that can travel further and charge faster, affordable solar or wind micro-generators that can produce more ... Building Out the Industrial IoT Vision Suhel Dhanani, Director of Business Development, Industrial & Healthcare Business Unit, Maxim Integrated, 8/3/2018 Comment now By now it is clear that manufacturing is getting digitized – meaning that an increasing amount of data is being collected during any manufacturing process and this data is increasingly being analyzed to optimize efficiency, utilization, and even to generate new streams of business. Yes, Do Put Your Label on Me Bill Schweber, Engineer, Author, Editor, 8/1/2018 Comment now I recently helped a friend upgrade his home multimedia installation, which included lots of devices connected to each other as well as externally connected cables. It was a frustrating experience due to the overall complexity of the set-up, as well as near-total lack of labeling of many of the cables and their routing we were planning to re-use. In ... Can Adding Noise Actually Improve System Performance? Bill Schweber, Engineer, Author, Editor, 8/1/2018 Comment now 2 comments Noise in its various guises is an always-present concern for most design efforts. This noise can appear in various forms: it can be in a data link; in a front-end component used to amplify an analog signal or detect a digital one; on power rails where it affects overall circuit performance, or it can radiate into the circuitry from nearby external ... Most recent post, GSKrasle, 8/6/2018 1:18:00 PM I have seen a lot of applications of "noise" (as in "dithering") to improve performance;... The loss of my friend and mentor Howard Skolnik Steve Taranovich, Editor-in-Chief, Planet Analog, 7/29/2018 Comment now 3 comments My good friend and Burr-Brown Analog mentor, Howard Skolnik passed away on Tuesday, July 24, 2018. I will miss him, but I am so happy that we had a really nice mini re-union Burr-Brownie breakfast at the Hungry Fox restaurant in Tucson on Thursday morning, June 14. We have this kind of get together occasionally, not knowing that this time would be the ...

It definitely takes some commitment to keep up with regular blog posts, but it is rewarding to hear from folks like yourself who are reading these and are able to learn and gather information. ... jonharris0 on Single Event Effects (SEEs) with High Speed ADCs: Single Event Transient (SET) 8/14/2018 6:58:06 PM Re: hi: Hi Paul, if you are referring to the test setup diagram this is simply how the device is connected to perform the radiation testing. The application circuit would look different and would depend on the particular application that the... jonharris0 on Single Event Effects (SEEs) with High Speed ADCs: Single Event Transient (SET), Part 2 8/14/2018 6:54:57 PM Re: Space qualified components: Hi Jean Luc, thanks for the great comments. Indeed there is a lot of design put into the thermal management of a satellite. Also, the temperature range inside the satellite that the electronics and such is exposed to is typically... jonharris0 on Why All This Stringent Testing? 8/14/2018 3:48:16 AM Re: hi: Just wondering about the applications of this diagram. Can anybody please provide a bit of context into what systems that these may be used? Surely there is some write up that accompanies this, but for some reason I can't seem to find it! Would...

PaulChau on Single Event Effects (SEEs) with High Speed ADCs: Single Event Transient (SET), Part 2 8/13/2018 4:36:01 AM Re: Maybe a waste of time and talent: I personally would not mind having a robot at home if it is only used for simple chores like dusting or folding laundry. However, if a robot is to replace every single process at home, then I would have my doubts. Do they even have the capability... EdwardThirlwall on i-Robot: A new approach to robotics to make our life easier and safer, Part 6 8/9/2018 11:40:49 PM hi: I think that it's a good thing that there are people around who are driven to find solutions for existing systems and framework. I think that a lot of people actually go by the saying that "if it ain't broke, then don't fix it. But of course,... ThomasMaloney on Noise Monitor: Simple Ideas Can Be Winners 8/8/2018 11:17:15 AM Re: Re : Interleaving Spurs: Let's Look at the Math: Math is what calculators are for right? And of course while we get to tinker around with the engineering and designing and stuff, we need to make sure that everything goes somewhat successfully right from the get go! But I love your analogy... markgrogan on Interleaving Spurs: Let’s Look at the Math 8/8/2018 9:31:05 AM Re: Re : Interleaving Spurs: The Mathmatics of Timing Mismatch: Someone needs to come up with some sort of system online that helps us with all the hard math so we can all get back down to the engineering of things. I'm actually pretty sure somewhere on the vast interwebs that there may such a system in... markgrogan on Interleaving Spurs: The Mathmatics of Timing Mismatch 8/8/2018 12:38:35 AM Re: Well derived analysis but needs Part 3: Mike, Thanks for your comments and suggestion. There actually is a Part 3, of sorts: a previous article titled "Case Study: Medical Laser System; Part 2: Photodiode Amplifier" along with Parts 3 and 4 that cover the dynamics.
