Irvine, Calif.— Microsemi Corp. has developed an SMBus to analog interface device that digitizes analog signals for use with digital microprocessors. Designated the LX1800, the interface device can be ...

In a digital world, why bother with analog? Well, sometimes it can still be the right solution. Take, for instance, the analog multiplier (see figure). At its simplest, it’s a circuit that leverages ...

Ground loops can degrade circuit performance and ruin your day. Follow these tips to prevent them from occurring in circuits ...

In the early '90s, many pessimists predicted that CMOS would hit a wall as it approached 100-nm and lower gate lengths toward the end of the century. But CMOS processes steadily marched forward, ...

Analog fault simulation in mixed‐signal circuits is a critical tool for ensuring the robustness and reliability of systems that integrate both analogue and digital components. This field addresses the ...

The move toward multi-die assemblies and the increasing value of sensor data at the edge are beginning to focus attention and raise questions about security in analog circuits. In most SoC designs ...

Siemens Digital Industries Software has introduced Tessent AnalogTest software -- an innovative solution that reduces pattern generation time for analog circuit tests from months to days. The solution ...
