Impulse relay turns on with an electrical impulse at the control input and turns off again with another impulse.

Here is a detailed view of reverse polarity protection circuits for safeguarding battery-connected automotive systems.

Radar, 3D cameras, and AI are pushing the boundaries of in-cabin sensing to address automotive safety, cost, and user ...

Planet Analog provides an online community for semiconductor and system designers/engineers interested in advancing analog design techniques.

Resolution is key in maximizing the performance of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). But here comes the rub: resolution ...

The first installment of this two-part series focused on debugging brushed-DC motor systems. Now the second installment will share some tips for stepper motor systems and provide general bench testing ...

Phase noise is a critical parameter in most phase-locked loop (PLL) synthesizer applications. In radars, for example, phase noise at low-offset frequencies translates to the ability to discern between ...

One of the issues that beginning electronic engineers must grasp is the concept of impedance and impedance matching, epically with respect to transmission lines, cables, and connectors. This FAQ ...

The automotive industry is changing. The load that must be carried today by internal combustion engines (ICEs) will, in the future, be handled by hybrid, electric, or even fuel cell driven vehicles.

Gathering information on physical phenomena such as force, pressure, light, temperature, strain and current is an invaluable tool when designing many systems. Sensors convert changes in physical ...

All systems, including filters, are causal. That means they can’t produce a response to an (unpredictable) stimulus before that stimulus arrives. So, how the heck can you build a filter that ‘predicts ...
