New multi-GHz oscillators (XOs) and jitter attenuators bring timing chips into the digital domain by employing CMOS technology.

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.

Most mission-critical systems need to be designed for near-zero downtime throughout their useful life. So, if a component of such a system fails or needs updating, it must be replaced without ...

When it comes to in-cabin sensing technologies, radar, 3D cameras, and artificial intelligence (AI) are now redefining vehicle interiors. These technologies are pushing the boundaries of in-cabin ...

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 of an ADC comes with a specific voltage reference. So, what if design ...

The first two installments in this series reported in detail on field reliability experience of Efficient Power Conversion (EPC) Corporation’s enhancement-mode gallium nitride (eGaN®) FETs and ...

Most high-speed Voltage Feedback Amplifier (VFA) product developments have focused on the unity gain stable type, with far fewer offerings in decompensated VFAs. Those seem to come with more ...

EMI filtering and transient voltage suppression are two key elements of automotive electronic design. Critical systems in road vehicles must function reliably at all times to ensure driver, passenger, ...

There are two groups of classic circuits: those which have served us well in the past, but have been superseded by better designs, and those which are still in use, perhaps with updated components. In ...
