This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. The quest for power reduction in electronic circuits is one of the main drivers of circuit design innovation. Recently, ...

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 ...

Continuing Linear Technology’s popular series of DesignNotes is Volume 3 of Analog Circuit Design (opening figure) with over 1000 pages (and five pounds) of analog circuits. Edited by Bob Dobkin and ...

Where digital and analog designs are overlapping, and why it’s becoming more difficult to ensure they work as expected over their lifetimes. Pujol: We need some abstraction because we cannot ...

Modern circuit design is a “mixed signal” endeavor thanks to the availability of sophisticated process technologies that make available bipolar and CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor), ...

Voltage conveyors and current conveyors represent two pivotal active building blocks in contemporary analog circuit design. Their unique signal processing capabilities allow for efficient voltage ...

Before the untimely death of analog guru Jim Williams in 2011, he and Bob Dobkin had started to compile Linear Technology application notes and information for publication in book form. The first ...

I took a Computer Logic Design class in college, so when I stumbled upon the Ksimus Circuit Simulator, I was intrigued. At the risk of waxing nostalgic, I remember what it was like to build circuits ...

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, ...

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) poses a critical challenge in the design of analogue integrated circuits, where the growing density of components and higher operating frequencies lead to increased ...

In this hands-on course, you will learn how to design, build and use electronic systems that combine both analog and digital function. You will learn how to use sensors to capture real-world ...
