The fact is that analog design is the most difficult and detailed kind of electronic design. The scope of variables to be managed, the extreme sensitivities to circuit constraints, and the quality of ...

Subtitled ‘Immersion in the black art of analog design’, this huge book has over 1,200 A4 pages of joy. Subtitled ‘Immersion in the black art of analog design’, this huge book has over 1,200 A4 pages ...

Fig 3. Linear Technology’s Leonard Shtargot is typical of the top rank of analog chip designers. A native of Kiev, he graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, with an electrical ...

I had met Professor Franco when I attended, for the first time, the Analog Aficionados dinner which Jim Williams had as an annual event in California. I was immediately drawn to him as I saw him ...

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, ...

Digital circuit design is largely automated today, but most analog components still are designed manually. This may change soon. As analog design grows increasingly complex and error-prone, design ...

Printed Circuit Board Prototyping (PCBP) facility in the Myhal Centre is jointly supported by MIE, ECE and U of T Engineering ...

The Linear Circuit Design Handbook runs 960 pages and tips the scales at nearly four pounds. Edited by senior apps engineer Hank Zumbahlen, it’s a product of Analog Devices’ engineering staff, meaning ...

Lighting a string of LEDs at a constant brightness requires driving it with a regulated current. A boost converter is commonly used to step up the voltage to a level high enough to bias the LEDs on ...
