Cable equalization 101 – Automating your design
Hooman Hashemi
05 21 2013 05:47 PM
Judging by the number of views on a post related to numerical cable equalization , on the High Speed E2E forum (more than 3,700 at last count!), I would guess that it’s a pretty interesting topic for many folks. Since TI is one of the leading manufacturers...

Let’s take this driver out for a spin
Soufiane Bendaoud
05 10 2013 04:09 PM
Before I suggest a suitable op amp to drive an ADC, I look at the application. This steers me toward one of two categories: low voltage or high voltage. If the system requires a low voltage operation, chances are I’ll look for a low power op...

Being negative can still be positive
Loren Siebert 1
05 07 2013 04:59 PM
The first operational amplifiers (op amps) used what is commonly called split power supplies, meaning the power for the amplifier was symmetrical around ground with both positive and negative polarities. Since most power supplies used transformers to...

Addressing those pesky European power consumption rulings
Dafydd Roche
05 03 2013 10:48 AM
This January, the European Commission implemented legislation to limit the power consumption in line-powered products when they are deemed in "standby" and "Off" mode. Traditionally, home audio products were guilty of wasting a...

Current feedback amplifier...how do I make it work for me?
Xavier Ramus
04 26 2013 10:00 AM
Current feedback (CFB) amplifiers mostly belong in the realm of high speed amplifiers . There are lot of good application notes developed over the years that describe the operation and the main issues encountered when applying current feedback amplifiers...

Turn up the heat
Mont Taylor
04 24 2013 04:35 PM
More and more electronics are needed for very harsh environments, which then results in the need for multiple electronic components. For instance, oil and gas drilling, where temperatures reach up to 200°C require complete solutions for intelligent...
