While metastability—an indeterminate state in a digital circuit—is far from a new topic, increasingly faster signal rates can put your design at greater disk to the phenomena. Certainly you should ...
Buck regulators are usually the first choice when you design nonisolated step-down regulators unless the ratio of V IN to V OUT is greater than 10, the input voltage is high, or both. Low duty cycle ...
Power supplies that use diodes to rectify an ac voltage to obtain a dc voltage must deal with inherent inefficiencies. A standard diode or ultra-fast diode can have a 1-V forward voltage or higher at ...
Industrial-automation system design presents unique challenges. This is, in fact, the story of conflicting demands. The introduction of low-cost modular racks to house system components such as ...
Wire delay is beginning to dominate gate delay in current CMOS technologies. According to Moore’s Law by 2016 CMOS feature size should be on the order of 22 nm with clock frequencies reaching around ...
Given the growing importance and impact of portable, battery-operated devices in today’s society, it’s easy to understand why power consumption has become such a critical factor in IC design. But it’s ...
The increasing importance of energy efficiency has brought electric motor makers to promote a variety of schemes that improve motor performance. Unfortunately the terminology associated with motor ...
