Read This Design FAQ: ADC Front Ends With Fully Differential Amplifiers (FDAs)

Minimizing noise in the signal chain between sensor and ADC is always tricky because all the elements in the chain interact. Even the position of active and passive elements in the signal path can be critical. Here's a high-level view (with a link to a more rigorous analysis) of a signal conditioning approach that takes advantage of the latest in differential op-amps. Sponsored by Intersil. Read now.

  • Reduce EMI In Your Class D Amplifiers

    By Bill Llewellyn , January 31, 2012

    Emitted EMI is a drawback to the switching topology of the Class D amplifier. Passive filtering can moderate EMI but adds cost and complexity to the end product. What other internal circuit design methods can be employed to mitigate EMI?

  • A Very Simple And Cost Effective Solution For Low Wattage LED Bulbs

    By Jianwen Shao, January 31, 2012

    While there are still many challenges facing the LED before it becomes the primary light source, there is no question that LEDs will continue to be used in ever more lighting applications. Two challenges standing in the way of LED adoption in low-power bulbs are the size of the driver and cost.
