Geared toward novice designers, this book takes a modular approach to electronic circuit design by refreshing basic math and physics needed, then discusses individual components, and commonly ...

Considerations for dividing analog and digital blocks. Decoupling techniques. Breaking down the board layers. How best to deal with grounding. Similar to building a house, it’s essential to create a ...

Analysis of this circuit is simplified by the fact that the output has only two states: V out low (Vol) or V out hi (Voh). In this circuit, Voh is equal to the positive supply voltage and Vol is ...

Andy recommends favorite resources for basic op amp circuits and includes a portion of TI's AN-20. Test your knowledge with our op amp quiz; answer explanations are included. By 1969, a fledgling ...

It is important to consider the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for analog test and measurement, as well as other electrical engineering activities, as it helps ensure that critical electrical ...

ECE’s new analog design course offers TI's expertise through lectures, mentorships, and tech access. Li has worked for ECE for the past five years. Before his professorship, he earned his bachelor’s ...

The circuit integration in system on chip (SOCs) drives today’s embedded system design where the complex and flexible (programmable and configurable) analog, digital, and processing engines are ...

In my previous DAC7821 article, "Hands-On with Analog Circuits & AI, Part 3: Real-World Implementations of Digitally Controlled Amplification," I built and tested a programmable-gain single-stage ...

The move toward multi-die assemblies and the increasing value of sensor data at the edge are beginning to focus attention and raise questions about security in analog circuits. In most SoC designs ...

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, ...

(Editor's Note: There are links to the previous parts of this series at the end, below the author's biography.) Determining if one voltage is greater than or less than another voltage is the job for a ...
