If you simulate circuits that include not only analog, but also digital or switching/PWM aspects, then you know that traditional “AC” or frequency-domain analysis cannot be used for these designs.

The performance of a switching regulator for the given external passive components is largely determined by how well the closed loop is being compensated. An excellent loop-compensation design is ...

Automated testing provides a programmable means of powering a DUT as well as connecting selected points to signal sources and measuring instruments. Often, more signals must be measured than there are ...

The most flexible way to connect signals and instruments is to use a switching matrix. In a test application, there often are many more signals than measuring instruments, necessitating signal ...

Many hardware people around these parts will be familiar with devices used as switches, using at least three-terminals to effect this, an input, an output and a gate. Typical devices that spring to ...

If you’ve ever dealt with a brightly lit Christmas tree, you might understand the frustration of having to crawl underneath the tree to turn the lights on and off. [brmarcum] feel’s your pain. He’s ...
