There is another analog compute-in-memory solution for math-heavy AI workloads, which is capacitor-based and achieves power ...

Some specialty vacuum tubes are alive and well, with their design and production enhanced by 3D printing techniques.

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

Here is how a fascination with analog and mixed-signal semiconductors led Tony Pialis to design innovations in SerDes architectures.

Planet Analog provides an online community for semiconductor and system designers/engineers interested in advancing analog design techniques.

The tips and tricks when testing motor-driver ICs on the lab bench can help engineers reduce time spent on evaluating and prototyping motor systems. The first installment of this two-part article ...

Sensors are getting smarter by integrating sensing technology with embedded microcontrollers, software, and artificial intelligence (AI) that runs inside the sensor itself. Here, software solutions ...

The capacitor auto-discharge module presented in this article is simply a failsafe module that automatically discharges the buffer/filter capacitor in a power supply circuit when its input supply is ...

Phase noise is a critical parameter in most phase-locked loop (PLL) synthesizer applications. In radars, for example, phase noise at low-offset frequencies translates to the ability to discern between ...

In operational amplifier stability, one rule of thumb is to allow 45 degrees of phase margin. Other design guidelines state that 60 degrees is best; still others say that 30 degrees is sufficient.

If the car battery terminals are reverse connected during a jump start, vehicle upkeep, or repair, components in the associated automotive electronics modules may be damaged if they cannot handle the ...
