In Boost and modify square waves, we covered several methods for conditioning square waves for use with digital signals. In this final installment, we look at 555 timers, voltage regulators, op amps, ...

A subject rarely found in circuit design textbooks is the matter of nonlinear junction capacitance, especially reverse-bias junction capacitance, also called depletion capacitance. When it is ...

To test products in my R&D lab, I build many universal data-acquisition systems that connect to a PC or another controller through RS-232 links or LANs. These small systems typically include multiple ...

How to decide between buffered and un-buffered (switched capacitor), high-speed analog-to-digital converters, with an example of anti-aliasing filter design. The fundamental end goal when using an ADC ...

An idea in an earlier blog is to make a pwm interface that can accept 5, 12 and 24V pulse streams. That one uses a bunch of resistors and has three separate inputs. Below that, wise commenter DB ...

Bosch Security Systems is introducing two new devices to its 420 Interface Module Series for use with the latest and improved version of the company’s well-known Local Security Network (LSN) bus for ...
