Among the switches of various kinds of loads, the circuit of the switch is of particular interest, controlled by varying signal duration. So, for example, feeding a short pulse to the input will turn ...

A look at the design of traditional ADC front ends. How to simplify the input drive of CTSD ADCs. Simplifying reference and reference-drive designs. In this article, we will use the terms “sensor” or ...

Though sometimes taken for granted, designers shouldn’t overlook the intricacies of voltage- and current-feedback op amps—integral players in the analog and mixed-signal worlds. Op amps amplify tiny ...

In the previous installment of this series, we looked how the differential input configuration of an ADC can improve its performance. This installment talks about another ADC specification that ...

In this article, we highlight one of the most important architectural traits of new continuous-time sigma-delta (CTSD) precision ADCs: the easy to drive resistive input and reference. The key to ...
