Some specialty vacuum tubes are alive and well, with their design and production enhanced by 3D printing techniques.

Planet Analog provides an online community for semiconductor and system designers/engineers interested in advancing analog design techniques.

Here is how a fascination with analog and mixed-signal semiconductors led Tony Pialis to design innovations in SerDes architectures.

New multi-GHz oscillators (XOs) and jitter attenuators bring timing chips into the digital domain by employing CMOS ...

Impulse relay is a viable alternative for lighting control from multiple locations. In modernistic houses and apartments, lighting schemes to control lights from two or more locations are becoming ...

If the car battery terminals are reverse connected during a jump start, vehicle upkeep, or repair, components in the associated automotive electronics modules may be damaged if they cannot handle the ...

Most mission-critical systems need to be designed for near-zero downtime throughout their useful life. So, if a component of such a system fails or needs updating, it must be replaced without ...

Resolution is key in maximizing the performance of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). But here comes the rub: resolution of an ADC comes with a specific voltage reference. So, what if design ...

New sensing devices claim to improve responsiveness and long-term sleep health by integrating snore detection capability into pressure sensors. These pressure sensors deliver real-time data to ...

Ultrasonic time-of-flight (ToF) sensors come to rescue indoor sensors, which often fail to detect and avoid barriers like plexiglass walls, translucent doors, and glass windows. Here is how ToF ...

Analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are known to be a fragmented market with long lead times. Silanna Semiconductor vows to redefine ADC affordability and supply chain reliability by delivering over ...
