Previously on “Yet More…” we looked at the impedance of a typical regulator and decoupling capacitor combination, and showed what happened when you 'shock' it with some dynamic current consumption.
After the first four parts of “Yet more…” you are, I hope, curious about what happens when everything is connected together. We've seen that some fearsome ringing can appear on our simulated supply if ...
Modern op amps have much higher operating bandwidths than their predecessors. These new devices are excellent building blocks that can greatly simplify the design and construction of high-bandwidth ...
The very basics of operational amplifiers. Learn comparator, inverting, and non-inverting op-amp configurations. An operational amplifier, or op amp, is a dc-coupled high-gain electronic voltage ...
Of digital electronics, a wise man once said that “Every idiot can count to one.” Truer words have rarely been spoken, because at the end of the day, every digital circuit is really just an analog ...
One of my first jobs as a freshly minted graduate engineer involved the maintenance of a set of analogue chart recorders. They were museum pieces by the early 1990s: a motorized roll of graph paper ...
