If a circuit board includes analog circuits, we also like to focus on those for an EMC board review. Similar to voltage regulators (discussed in the previous posting), analog circuits can also cause ...

Considerations for dividing analog and digital blocks. Decoupling techniques. Breaking down the board layers. How best to deal with grounding. Similar to building a house, it’s essential to create a ...

Let's face it: when most students looking think about what “electrical” engineers work on – to the extent they do so at all – they think software, programming, apps, and similar. Designing circuits ...

When it comes to learning digital system design, hobbyists and students have a lot of options, whether it’s tinkering with field-programmable gate arrays or working up chip submission for a Tiny ...

Super-sensitive switches etched in silicon? This is not your father's solid state. Sharp, vibrant, incredibly detailed: The pictures produced by Foveon's X3 image sensor chip are seductive evidence ...

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 ...
