As the number of Power Over Ethernet (PoE) powered device (PD) applications grows, market pressures are driving designers to lower the cost and complexity of the DC-DC converters that power them, ...

Many of you are familiar with the circuits and components developed by Bob Dobkin, CTO of Linear Technology Corp, and the late Jim Williams, Staff Scientist at LTC, along with others from LTC. Their ...

For reliability, designers must create flex circuits that are neither too thick nor bend too much. • Every flex circuit has a neutral-bend axis. • Smaller circuit thickness reduces the risk of damage ...

We were recently tipped off to quite a resource — on the Texas Instruments website, there’s a page where you can view and download a compendium of analog sub-circuits. Individual circuits can be ...

The 555 timer is one of the most versatile integrated circuits available. It can generate PWM signals, tones, and single-shot pulses. You can even put one in a bi-stable mode similar to a flip flop.

• A flexible printed circuit is as much a mechanical device as it is an electrical device. • The neutral bend axis may not be in the exact middle of the material stack. • The reliability of flexible ...

Circuit design is generally a time-consuming process that requires input from multiple parties. However, running a circuit design simulation can significantly streamline the process, making ...
