Recent advances in semiconductor-process technology and circuit-design techniques have brought down the prices of switched-capacitor filters (SCF) by a factor of three. As the cost falls, its use in new devices will continue to increase. Maxim's John Guy Continue Reading...
Electronics systems today require lower voltages, higher currents, higher power density, and higher efficiency than in the past. Ken Dierberger demonstrates how to utilize large-die and paralleled power MOSFETs to drive these demanding Continue Reading...
Inductor makers, beseeched by data communications and telecom customers to weave improved performance characteristics into ever-tinier packages, are yielding impressive results. The smallest wirewound and chip inductors for high-frequency duty have Continue Reading...
The Auto PC must include hardware-a processor and memory-capable of executing the many appli-cations planned for it. Baseline specifications Continue Reading...
As CMOS semiconductor density advances, ICs are getting faster while the number of high-speed nets multiplies. Interconnects at the board and system level have become the limiting factor to increased system performance and EMI compliance. Every Continue Reading...
Analog intellectual-property design verification, characterization and behavioral model generation are extremely engineering- and computer-intensive processes. Analog IP lies dormant because it is extremely difficult to reuse in its current form; Continue Reading...
Even with the intense activity in the development of such mixed-signal hardware-description languages as Verilog-AMS and VHDL-AMS, behavioral modeling is neither a new nor a difficult concept. The behavioral description of an analog or mixed-signal Continue Reading...
To presage the annual Design Automation Conference (DAC) in New Orleans June 21 to 25, this week's Signals section homes in on design tools for analog and mixed-signal electronic systems, where the designs flows are significantly longer and more Continue Reading...
The wireless telephony market is changing rapidly. This article gives a quick overview of what's needed in an ADC aiming at single radio Continue Reading...
