A simple to use window comparator can make short work of integrator, antiwindup, and reset circuits. Control systems that incorporate an integrator stage need some form of integrator reset or ...

All circuits, analog or digital, have characteristics dependent on the values of their component parts. Invariably, these parts are non-ideal in many ways. Even their most fundamental characteristics, ...

Comparators are one of the basic building blocks of analog and mixed-signal designs, providing one small but critical function, as their name indicates. Their role is often to be a “simple” safety ...

(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 ...

A new technical paper titled “Generative AI for Analog Integrated Circuit Design: Methodologies and Applications” was published by researchers at McMaster University. “Electronic Design Automation ...

Digital circuit design is largely automated today, but most analog components still are designed manually. This may change soon. As analog design grows increasingly complex and error-prone, design ...

We often think of analog computing as a relic of the past, room-sized monstrosities filled with vacuum tubes doing their best to calculate Monte Carlo simulations or orbital velocities. Analog isn’t ...

Voltage conveyors and current conveyors represent two pivotal active building blocks in contemporary analog circuit design. Their unique signal processing capabilities allow for efficient voltage ...

Designing, constructing, testing, and improving circuits—especially those with significant analog content—was always one of my interests. The fact that you could arrange standard active and passive ...
