If a circuit board includes analog circuits, we also like to focus on those for an EMC board review. Similar to voltage regulators (discussed in the previous posting), analog circuits can also cause ...

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 ...

(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 ...

Back in eighth grade, a classmate of mine named Bruce brought in a transistor-circuit siren made by his older brother, which was installed in a transistor radio case. Immediately enchanted, I went to ...

Analog circuits, despite constituting a small proportion of overall electronic systems, account for a substantial share of system failures. Consequently, the development of robust fault diagnosis ...

Life, uh, finds a way. And more often than not, that way is analog, not digital. Even the impulse-like action potentials in the brain are more complex than computers’ 1s and 0s — and digital ...

Early computers could perform fairly complex calculations just by arranging a few analog circuits. By choosing appropriate resistor and capacitor values, arithmetic summers, integrators, and ...

A technical paper titled “Neuromorphic analog circuits for robust on-chip always-on learning in spiking neural networks” was published by researchers at Institute of Neuroinformatics, University of ...
