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 ...

The rapid evolution of electronic system design has underscored the importance of Field Programmable Analog Arrays (FPAAs) and mixed‐signal systems in achieving flexible, energy‐efficient processing.

How analog signal engineering is performed, in broad strokes. What are the component-selection considerations for new designs? What are VFAs and how are they used? Analog signal engineers specialize ...

The chip market is growing worldwide; it’s projected to nearly double by 2030 to over one trillion dollars. Most of this market is made up of digital functions in the form of logic, microprocessors, ...

Electronic systems keep getting more complex. Much of the complexity comes from ICs, which can undergo years of design and validation cycles before reaching the market. System design engineering teams ...

What is pulse width modulation? Pulse width modulation (PWM) is a powerful digital technique for controlling analog circuits with a microprocessor’s digital outputs. PWM is employed in a wide variety ...

This application note tackles on how to protect analog output circuits and why they should be protected. As one of the necessary components in the system’s performance, analog output circuits should ...

This article explores key mixed-signal applications, highlighting the difference between signal-path faults and rail-driven ...

When a process becomes measurable, it becomes improvable. When you can track timing, cost and performance, you can build ...

Analog circuitry is usually a small part of a large SoC, but it does not scale in the same way as digital circuitry under Moore’s Law. The power consumed by analog is becoming an increasing concern, ...
