At the heart of a transceiver is usually a phase-locked-loop (PLL) synthesizer, which delivers a signal to downstream components such as mixers, filters and power amplifiers. At higher frequencies, ...

Why the power-delivery network is critical in modern power electronics. How integrated voltage regulators can improve the PDN and simplify the PCB design. How IVRs improve power delivery to processors ...

Today’s designers have a multitude of ADC choices that provide different digital outputs. This second article in the JESD204 series covers the different types of outputs in terms of physical ...

The increased demand for high-speed data transmission fueled by social media and online activities in the past two decades lead to the use of more complex ICs operating at higher speed on higher ...

Low dropout (LDO) regulators play a very important role in the power management of an integrated circuit. As a result, mindful designing and selection of LDO circuits become crucial. This article ...

What are the risks when driving a 4 or 6 ohm speaker with a amplifier that is rated from 8-16ohm. The amplifier is an old Pioneer VSX-808, it´s my "PC speakers" and I´m using 4 ohm speakers as front ...
