[Design Application]
Accelerated Design Verification And VXI Make A Perfect Match
— Contributing Author

[Ideas For Design]
Power amplifier buffer features digital bias adjustment
The day may be near when every amplifier application can be served simply by finding the right off-the-shelf standalone chip. Maybe. But for now, many jobs require that even the best monolithic devices be supplemented with a sprinkling of active... — W. Stephen Woodward

[Ideas For Design]
Maximum-power-point-tracking solar battery charger
Sustainable electrical sources like solar photovoltaic arrays are becoming increasingly important as environmentally friendly alternatives to fossil fuels. But, while they’re nice for the environment, sustainable sources aren’t always easy to apply.... — W. Stephen Woodward

[Ideas For Design]
Predict ESD response using first-order differential equations
Tests for electrostatic-discharge (ESD) susceptibility sometimes call for charging a test capacitor to a specified voltage (example: 100 pF charged to 15,000 V) and then connecting that capacitor to discharge into the circuit being... — Contributing Author

[Ideas For Design]
Just two ICs can create an accurate guitar tuner
Accurately measuring the frequency of a low-frequency signal takes many cycles, and is difficult on signals of relatively short duration. Measuring the period of such signals can be done rapidly and with great accuracy with the circuit presented here.... — Contributing Author

[Pease Porridge]
Bob's Mailbox
Hiya Bob: In case 450,000 people haven't suggested this already, here goes: Our new car (which, alas, is new) keeps the radio playing until you open a door. I like that! (But what if... — Bob Pease
