Open loop gain: how to measure with SPICE
When designing opamps in analog IC design, it is frequently required to plot the open loop gain/phase. One way of doing that is to use a high feedback resistor and very high capacitance so the feedback network has an extremely low corner frequency: This works fine unless your opamp drive capability is low, in which […]
Xilinx and TSMC Reach Volume Production on all 28nm CoWoS™
Xilinx, Inc. (NASDAQ: XLNX) and TSMC (TWSE: 2330, NYSE: TSM) announced production release of the Virtex®-7 HT family, the industry’s first heterogeneous 3D ICs in production. With this milestone, all Xilinx 28nm 3D IC families are now in volume production. These 28nm devices were developed on TSMC’s Chip-on-Wafer-on-Substrate (CoWoS™) 3D IC process that produces significant […]
Reduced Smartphone Interference with Efficiency Audio Amplifiers
The Class-AB audio amplifiers provide improved quiescent current reduction and decreased smart phone signal interference. The integrated GSM input filtering is built in for increased EMC robustness. The TDF8546A (4x 25Watt) and TDF8548A (4x 28Watt) are also a part of the Class-AB amplifiers that extend line driver detection to 1kOhm load impedance. As smartphone connectivity […]
