October 2, 2008[Ideas For Design] A Look Back At 40 Years Of Ideas For Design
After Electronic Design asked me to contribute something to this special issue, all kinds of possibilities ran through my mind. After all, it had been 40 years since my first ED article, which was itself an Idea for Design (IFD), “Gated Amplifier Uses FET in Feedback Loop,” in the Jan. 4, 1968 issue. So, what’s an IFD? The snappy answer is that it’s one of Electronic Design’s most popular editorial features. But more germane...

January 10, 2000[Ideas For Design] Build Precise V/F Converter
This Idea for Design was originally published May 13, 1993, p. 70. A single-supply, 5-V powered, voltage-to-frequency (V/F) converter can be built with low-power ICs and just a handful of passive components (...
December 14, 1998[Walt Jung Archive: Walt's Tools And Tips] Op-Amp Audio
For this second December issue, the column looks at a number of op-amp issues regarding their use in high quality audio circuits. For now, this wraps up the series on this topic. As noted below, this final 1998 installment also marks my departure from...
December 1, 1998 [Walt Jung Archive: Walt's Tools And Tips] Op-Amp Audio
For this November Analog Special installment, we'll take a look at some of the very basic issues surrounding op amps used within high-quality audio circuits. A parameter which ultimately affects a gamut of op-amp performance specs is device...
October 1, 1998[Walt Jung Archive: Walt's Tools And Tips] Op-Amp Audio
Taking up where last month's column left off, here's the second part of our discussion on output-buffer techniques as part of audio op-amp applications. A flexible Class A buffer: To fulfill the function of the discrete version of...
September 1, 1998[Walt Jung Archive: Walt's Tools And Tips] Op-Amp Audio
In this and the next few columns, we will take a departure from the immediate past, and focus some overdue attention on real circuits. We'll cover some op-amp issues related to realizing high performance in audio and other ac applications. This...
August 3, 1998[Walt Jung Archive: Walt's Tools And Tips] What's Best For Your PC?
In response to several readers' requests, this month we'll take a look at some of the pros and cons of engineering operations on a PC under alternative systems. One is the ubiquitous Windows operating system (OS), and the other is a UNIX-like...
November 3, 1997[Walt Jung Archive: Walt's Tools And Tips] Computer Tech Support
The August 4 column on computer tech support drew a surprising amount of mail; indeed, more than was ever anticipated. While the volume is encouraging, quite a few readers raised points that were never addressed in the original piece (some quite...
May 1, 1997[Walt Jung Archive: Walt's Tools And Tips] The Well-Stocked Toolbox
During the initial planning for this column, in thinking about what would be a good analog related theme, we came up with the idea of those Tools and Tips which an analog engineer finds useful. That moniker then became the name of this column....
April 1, 1997[Walt Jung Archive: Walt's Tools And Tips] Analog's Shrinking World
An obvious fact of life about the hectic world of electronic engineering that we live in is that it constantly becomes more so. At one time or another, everyone has wished for "the good old days" when life was simpler and our electronic...
March 3, 1997[Walt Jung Archive: Walt's Tools And Tips] Analog Book Reviews
As far as standard ICs are concerned, op amps are probably the most universally used active part. Capable of far more than ever imagined back in the 60's when they first appeared, IC op amps are now used for a very wide array of tasks. Op amp books...
