Q. I've just been reading datasheets of some recently released Analog Devices log amps and I'm still a little confused about what exactly a log amp does. A. You're not alone. Over the years, I have ...

Analog Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADI), a global semiconductor leader, today announced financial results for its fiscal third quarter 2024, which ended August 3, 2024. “ADI’s revenue finished above our ...

Low-dropout regulators (LDOs) are deceptively simple devices that provide critical functions such as isolating a load from a dirty source or creating a low-noise source to power sensitive circuitry.

A source measure unit (SMU) is an instrument that combines a sourcing function and a measurement function on the same pin or connector. It can source voltage or current and simultaneously measure ...

In the closing of RAQ 56, Amplifier, attenuator or both?, I indicated that you can force the noise gain (NG) while maintaining the signal gain. The amplifier’s stability in a circuit is determined by ...

Modern operational amplifiers (op amps) and instrumentation amplifiers (in-amps) provide great benefits to the designer, compared with assemblies of discrete semiconductors. A great many clever, ...

For a human, experiencing a fall unobserved can be doubly dangerous. The obvious possibility of initial injury may be further aggravated by the possible consequences if treatment is not obtained ...

Q. I'm not sure I understand how current-feedback amplifiers work as compared with regular op amps. I've heard that their bandwidth is constant regardless of gain. How does that work? Are they the ...

This application note provides design and manufacturing guidance in the use of the lead frame chip scale package (LFCSP). The LFCSP is compliant with JEDEC MO220 and MO229 outlines. The LFCSP is a ...

Serial peripheral interface (SPI) is one of the most widely used interfaces between microcontroller and peripheral ICs such as sensors, ADCs, DACs, shift registers, SRAM, and others. This article ...

Q: ADI has published a lot of information on dealing with capacitive loading and other stability issues in books, such as the amplifier seminar series, in earlier issues of Analog Dialogue, and in ...

This is the first article in a two-part series. Part 1 will first discuss the history and design challenges for a thermistor-based temperature measurement system and how it compares with a resistance ...
