CTS Corporation, through its subsidiary, CTS Electronic Components, Inc. announces the development of a high frequency VCXO for small-cell applications available in two package sizes and output types. It is well suited for small-cell applications, such as Femto-cells, which have limited board space and demand high performance frequency control products. Available in a 7.0 x 5.0 […]

Electromagnetic field sensing – I am trying to sense an electromagnetic filed created by an iron-core coil from a distance of 12 feet. For testing, I just connect both ends of Rx coil to the scope. I get very strong signals when the Rx coil is line with either end of the Tx coil because iron core amplifies […]
New Age Engineers Tearing Down Walls
Chi-Ping Hsu, Cadence In a recent Design World article titled, “What Will 2015 Bring? A New Electronics System Design Imperative,” we talked about the astonishing technological changes we’re undergoing in electronics system design. But there’s another transformation happening before our eyes. It’s akin to the masses tearing down the Berlin Wall: Organizations are starting to dismantle […]
Implementation system for complex SoC designs
Cadence Design Systems announces the Innovus Implementation System for system-on-chip (SoC) development on advanced 16/14/10nm processes and established process nodes. Incorporating the company’s massively parallel architecture with proprietary optimization technologies, Innovus delivers 10 to 20 percent better power, performance and area (PPA) and up to 10x full-flow speedup and capacity gain. The parallel digital implementation incorporates multi-threading and distributed […]

Two-stage op amp used as comparator; differing results – I am implementing my two-stage op amp (with a compensating capacitor) as a comparator in my analog circuit. I run process corners TT, FF, and FS, and my analog circuit output is good but not in SF and SS. When I remove the compensating capacitor, the output […]

Capacitor for audio high-pass filter – I’m working on an audio circuit that will run from a 9V battery and requires a high pass filter, to reduce 50-60Hz noise/hum. The pass band is specified as 180Hz to 2400Hz. The present design has a 2nd order filter and the hum is unacceptably high. What kind of capacitor is […]

Design of a VHF Class-A Amplifier for Optimum Power Output
By “Languer“, member on Electro-Tech-Online This article presents the design of VHF Class-A transistor amplifier intended to provide as much linear output power as possible. It demonstrates basic design techniques to yield optimum output power from a BFR92A bipolar transistor. I based the selection of the transistor upon the following conditions: (1) availability of SPICE model, and (2) […]
