While digital electronics get all the glory, analog electronics will always be the interface between the real world and digital domain. From data conversion to amplification to switches, browse our analog knowledge base or read about new technologies and the engineers and processes behind them.
This article investigates the technical considerations for powering building alarm control systems, sensors, and indicator panels, emphasising power conversion efficiency and achieving a low power consumption profile.
This article explores the importance of the motor drive power supply, current sensing of the drive circuits, and using ultrasound for condition-based monitoring.
Instrumentation systems take the raw sensor data, amplify it, condition the signals to remove unwanted artefacts, and then analog to digital converters process the data ready for digital control systems.
Compact, robust, battery-powered wireless asset trackers are regularly attached to shipping containers and pallets to keep customers and suppliers informed of delivery progress.
Internet of Things trends today revolve around shiny objects—whether they be artificial intelligence or blockchain—but what if one of the most revolutionary parts of the IoT is something designers consider every day in devices?
It’s easy to seek out the absolute top of the line when it comes to a design. Whatever the “best” part is, is probably what’s going to be the most compelling for your design, right?
Analog touches everything. If not for the multitude of analog and mixed-signal components that vendors have developed in the past decades, the digital “revolution” that has made so many industry sectors leap forward would not be possible.
Development of very low powered analog body sensors, digital microcontrollers, and innovative power and battery management circuits are driving the growth of wearable healthcare products.
Electronics circuits evolved from discrete circuits to highly integrated circuits (IC) on a single chip enabling highly advanced analog and digital systems saving space and cost. An operational amplifier (Op Amp) is one such integrated circuit that has pl...
