All circuits, analog or digital, have characteristics dependent on the values of their component parts. Invariably, these parts are non-ideal in many ways. Even their most fundamental characteristics, ...

Editor’s note: I am proud to bring you this article authored by both Collin Wells, Applications Manager, General Purpose amplifier products, Texas Instruments and Gustaf Falk Olson, Field Applications ...

We’ve always been fascinated by things that perform complex electronic functions merely by virtue of their shapes. Waveguides come to mind, but so do active elements like filters made from nothing but ...

Digital signal processors (DSPs) continue to receive a great deal of attention in new product design. For example, digital filter design reflects the importance of understanding and using this ...

Low-pass filters (LPFs) are fundamental components in modern electronic systems, serving to permit signals below a designated cutoff frequency while attenuating higher frequencies. Recent advances ...

Previously on The Filter Wizard (“Simulate Circuits in a Spreadsheet with some ‘Ladderal Thinking’ “), we saw how to use a spreadsheet such as Excel to calculate the frequency response of a filter ...

We bet when [devttyS0] made his latest video about RF filter design (YouTube, embedded below), he had the old saying in mind: in theory, there’s no difference between theory and practice, but in ...

Prior knowledge needed: ECEA 5700 Introduction to Power Electronics, ECEA 5701 Converter Circuits, ECEA 5702 Converter Control, ECEA 5703 Magnetics Design, ECEA 5705 Averaged Switch Modeling and ...

Bandpass filters are used in both wired and wireless communications systems, sensor applications, instrumentation, medical applications, and many others. When it comes to these types of applications, ...
