New multi-GHz oscillators (XOs) and jitter attenuators bring timing chips into the digital domain by employing CMOS ...

Most electrical and electronic devices today require a method to detect tampering. In many cases, it could mean that the door of a device has been opened. This post will share some tamper detection ...

Impulse relay turns on with an electrical impulse at the control input and turns off again with another impulse.

Here is a detailed view of reverse polarity protection circuits for safeguarding battery-connected automotive systems.

When it comes to in-cabin sensing technologies, radar, 3D cameras, and artificial intelligence (AI) are now redefining vehicle interiors. These technologies are pushing the boundaries of in-cabin ...

New sensing devices claim to improve responsiveness and long-term sleep health by integrating snore detection capability into pressure sensors. These pressure sensors deliver real-time data to ...

Ultrasonic time-of-flight (ToF) sensors come to rescue indoor sensors, which often fail to detect and avoid barriers like plexiglass walls, translucent doors, and glass windows. Here is how ToF ...

Greg Robinson, corporate VP of Microchip’s MCU business unit, says that sensor systems are quickly becoming complex, requiring multiple analog components and adding board size, cost, and power ...

Our fundamental passive and inherently analog components—resistors, capacitors, and inductors—are so conceptually simple and easy to describe that we often don’t fully articulate or appreciate the ...

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is a major issue in power converters due to faster rising and falling edges in voltage and current waveforms caused by fast switching. So, power supply designers ...

Gathering information on physical phenomena such as force, pressure, light, temperature, strain and current is an invaluable tool when designing many systems. Sensors convert changes in physical ...

What’s a field-programmable analog array (FPAA), and how does it work? Dr. Jennifer Hasler, who carried out pioneering work on FPAAs at Georgia Tech, explains this analog device’s anatomy and workings ...
