Filters, Part 1: Analog, switched, and digital filters

November 4, 2020 By Bill Schweber

Filters are essential functions in most circuits and systems; as frequencies extend into the multi-GHz range, surface acoustic wave (SAW) and bulk acoustic wave (BAW) filters are needed to meet the design objectives. An engineer I worked with (and whose name I have forgotten) once remarked to about electronic filters (and he was serious): “like […]

Voice ADC excels at far-field audio

November 6, 2019 By Aimee Kalnoskas

TLV320ADC5140 Voice ADC

Texas Instruments introduced a new audio analog-to-digital converter (ADC) capable of capturing clear audio up to four times farther away than competing devices. The TLV320ADC5140 is the industry’s smallest quad-channel audio ADC with this level of performance. The device is part of a new family of three TI Burr-Brown audio ADCs that enable low-distortion audio […]

Fluxgate compasses, Part 2 – Issues and enhancements

October 21, 2019 By Bill Schweber

fluxgate compasses

Part 1 of this FAQ examined the underlying context of fluxgate compasses and navigation, as well as the basic principles of the fluxgate design. This part looks at additional fluxgate-compass issues and advances in their implementation. The fluxgate compass is fairly simple in principle. However, as with all things related to magnetism in general and […]

A quasi-Wheatstone bridge linear output circuit with one op amp

April 16, 2019 By Aimee Kalnoskas

quasi Wheatstone bridge

by Crutschow, Electro-Tech-Online community member A Wheatstone bridge is sometimes used to convert a variable resistance, such as a thermistor or strain-gage, to a voltage with zero volts out at some particular resistance (such as at 0°C for the thermistor). A bridge circuit has the advantage of being able to generate a 0V null output […]

Filters, Part 2: SAW and BAW devices for RF

March 26, 2019 By Bill Schweber

Part 1 of this FAQ looked at the basic available electronic filters – analog, switched capacitor, and digital – and briefly reviewed the attributes of each. As the frequencies to be filtered reach to 1 GHz and well beyond, while the selectively needed also became narrower, these filter approaches can no longer support many of […]

PHY transceivers expand Ethernet connectivity options

February 21, 2019 By Aimee Kalnoskas

PHY transceivers

Texas Instruments today introduced two new Ethernet physical layer (PHY) transceivers, expanding connectivity options for designers of both space-constrained applications and time-sensitive networks (TSNs). The DP83825I low-power 10-/100-Mbps Ethernet PHY has a 44 percent smaller package size than competing devices and provides a 150-meter cable reach. The DP83869HM is the industry’s only gigabit Ethernet PHY […]

Synthesized tuning, Part 2: Advanced synthesizers and performance

December 24, 2018 By Bill Schweber

Part 1 of this FAQ looked at the basic issues and topologies related to the challenge of frequency synthesis. Part 2 continues with advanced approaches and their attributes, as well as general concerns when choosing a synthesizer. Q: Are there other digitally-controlled synthesizer topologies? A: Yes. A widely used one is called the classical phase […]

Synthesized tuning, Part 1: Basic frequency-synthesizer principles

December 17, 2018 By Bill Schweber

Frequency synthesizers of various architectures, made possible by IC technology, are a key building blocks for applications which must accurately tune multiple channels, and hop from one frequency to another while using a single signal source such as a crystal oscillator. When you want to tune a desired radio station — AM or FM — […]

Tiny precision data converters cover 14 thru 24-bit resolution ranges

December 3, 2018 By Aimee Kalnoskas

precision data converters

Texas Instruments introduced four tiny precision data converters, each the industry’s smallest in its class. The new data converters enable designers to add more intelligence and functionality, while shrinking system board space. The DAC80508 and DAC70508 are eight-channel precision digital-to-analog converters (DACs) that provide true 16- and 14-bit resolution, respectively. The ADS122C04 and ADS122U04 are […]

A frequency you can count on There are few constants in life, but what few there are might include death, taxes, and a U.S. grid frequency that doesn’t vary by more than ±0.5 Hz. However, the certainty of the grid frequency is coming into question, thanks to the rising percentage of renewable energy sources that…
