This application note tackles on how to protect analog output circuits and why they should be protected. As one of the necessary components in the system’s performance, analog output circuits should ...

Foundries and packaging houses are wrestling how to control heat in the testing phase, particularly as devices continue to shrink and as thermally sensitive analog circuits are added into SoCs and ...

Continuing Linear Technology’s popular series of DesignNotes is Volume 3 of Analog Circuit Design (opening figure) with over 1000 pages (and five pounds) of analog circuits. Edited by Bob Dobkin and ...

Designing, constructing, testing, and improving circuits—especially those with significant analog content—was always one of my interests. The fact that you could arrange standard active and passive ...

We are always impressed with something so simple can actually be so complex. For example, what would you think goes into an analog computer? Of course, a “real” analog computer has opamps that can do ...

Analog circuitry is usually a small part of a large SoC, but it does not scale in the same way as digital circuitry under Moore’s Law. The power consumed by analog is becoming an increasing concern, ...

Should engineers learn analog, even if they do digital? What is the best way to learn analog electronics? Please share your ...

Using SPICE to simulate an electrical circuit is a common enough practice in engineering that “SPICEing a circuit” is a perfectly valid phrase in the lexicon. SPICE as a software tool has been around ...
