New multi-GHz oscillators (XOs) and jitter attenuators bring timing chips into the digital domain by employing CMOS technology.

Most electrical and electronic devices today require a method to detect tampering. In many cases, it could mean that the door of a device has been opened. This post will share some tamper detection ...

Impulse relay turns on with an electrical impulse at the control input and turns off again with another impulse.

Here is a detailed view of reverse polarity protection circuits for safeguarding battery-connected automotive systems.

Most mission-critical systems need to be designed for near-zero downtime throughout their useful life. So, if a component of such a system fails or needs updating, it must be replaced without ...

When it comes to in-cabin sensing technologies, radar, 3D cameras, and artificial intelligence (AI) are now redefining vehicle interiors. These technologies are pushing the boundaries of in-cabin ...

Resolution is key in maximizing the performance of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). But here comes the rub: resolution ...

The capacitor auto-discharge module presented in this article is simply a failsafe module that automatically discharges the buffer/filter capacitor in a power supply circuit when its input supply is ...

Ultrasonic time-of-flight (ToF) sensors come to rescue indoor sensors, which often fail to detect and avoid barriers like plexiglass walls, translucent doors, and glass windows. Here is how ToF ...

Analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are known to be a fragmented market with long lead times. Silanna Semiconductor vows to redefine ADC affordability and supply chain reliability by delivering over ...

A friend recently sent me an email noting that the classic 2N3904 bipolar transistor was now 60 years old. Since its “birth” was before I got involved with basic electronics, that callout was ...

Our fundamental passive and inherently analog components—resistors, capacitors, and inductors—are so conceptually simple and easy to describe that we often don’t fully articulate or appreciate the ...
