A custom comparator IC that has fast response time and hysteresis protects a car's engine control unit from failures on monitored peripherals that create high current conditions. In most modern cars, ...

CMOS current mirrors are pivotal in modern electronic circuitry, providing accurate current replication that is essential for biasing, amplification and active loading in a myriad of integrated ...

Automatic Gain Control (AGC) circuitry is an important building block in modern wireless communication systems. In a receiver (RX), it is desirable to maintain the same input level for the A/D ...

Most electrical and electronic devices today require a method to detect tampering. In many cases, it could mean that the door of a device has been opened. This post will share some tamper detection ...

Failures can occur in the electrical disconnect switches, fuses or circuit breakers that control, protect and isolate electrical equipment in electrical power systems, also known as switchgear. When a ...

Mixed-signal simulation of systems, i.e. analog & digital electronics with attached peripherals, such as sensors and actuators, already has an essential place in today’s design process. While the ...
