The human environment is increasingly controlled by environmental sensors, which represent the true sentinels of the world. They allow us to monitor and measure the different physical properties of ...

Oscillators, also called astable multivibrators, are electronic devices that generate a periodic signal. They are employed in a large number of applications such as clocks, oscillophones, musical ...

In this article, we will explore AC analysis with the “.AC” directive, one of the main techniques for evaluating the frequency response of circuits. It is one of the most powerful features of SPICE ...

The long jump is an event in track and field in which the athlete, after a quick run-up, takes off from the ground, trying to land as far away as possible on a platform filled with sand. In addition ...

QSPICE is an analog and mixed-signal simulator characterized by high simulation speed, accuracy and reliability. It is a new program and can be downloaded here. QSPICE is still in the demonstration ...

srcnam is the name of an independent voltage or current source. Vstart specifies the initial value of the parameter to be varied. Vstop specifies the final value of the parameter to be varied. Vincr ...

Driving an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for optimum mixed-signal performance is a design challenge. Figure 1 shows a standard ADC driver circuit. During ADC acquisition time, the sampling ...

For several decades, NAND Flash has been the primary technology for low-cost and large-density data storage applications. This non-volatile memory is present in all major electronic end-use markets, ...

Let’s examine the elements contributing to the on-state resistance (R DSON) of a planar Si N-MOSFET, shown in Figure 1, to comprehend the benefits and notion of an SJ MOSFET. Two distinct methods for ...

Signal modulation is one of the most basic and important concepts in the RF industry. It consists of using the variation of one or more parameters of a carrier signal to transmit information, ...

Today, we are surrounded by digital electronics. Devices that work with analog electronics are very rare. Computers, telephones, cameras, CD players, printers, radios, and TVs all operate with digital ...
