The analog input characteristics of analog ICs vary enormously. Some behave like high impedance amplifier inputs, some are purely resistive, some have capacitors switched at high speed, and some, ...

(Editor's Note: There are links to the previous parts of this series at the end, below the author's biography.) The perfect analog-to-digital converter (ADC) was discussed in Part 3: Analog and the ...

As variable frequency drives (VFDs) are becoming the primary go-to solution for motor control, their capability is not something that can be matched. With every new generation comes better performance ...

Given the very credible performance of large-scale analog front-end ICs that combine signal conditioning, analog-to-digital conversion, and more, as well as availability of so many high-performance op ...

Sometimes it seems as though digital designers get all of the attention. In all of the excitement surrounding "gigaFLOPS," "22 nm," and such, there's still one crumb of comfort for we non-digital ...
