Researchers at Georgia Tech have developed a new technique to print advanced, ink-based electrical circuitry on a desktop printer. Using about US$300 worth of off-the-shelf equipment, the researchers ...

The temperature dependence of electronic products can be reduced using a number of different approaches. One approach, for those products where it is possible, is to use a closed-loop, feedback system ...

Low-voltage CMOS analog circuit design has emerged as a critical area of research, driven by the dual imperatives of energy efficiency and high-performance signal processing. This discipline focuses ...

Switching ac power on and off has been a challenge since Edison and others started switching power more than 125 years ago. Now, a solid-state relay (SSR) uses a patented zero-voltage crossing ...

As a follow-up to my previous blog, Integration Choices: Analog Filters vs. Digital Filters, the next step would be to discuss how to integrate filters into the IC itself. What techniques and ...

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 ...

These days, we take it for granted that you can connect a cheap piece of hardware to a microcontroller and have an amazing debugging experience. Stop the program. Examine memory and registers. You can ...
