A slew of recent ICs proves that, despite the hopes of digital designers, the real world demands obedience to its analog reality. Proving this fact, the LT5504 RF power detector from Linear Technology ...

In industrial automation and process control applications, the analog output module transmits analog signals (voltage or current) that operate controls such as hydraulic actuators, solenoids, and ...

The evolution of the broadcast mixing console continues. Much is written about digital consoles and IP-based systems; but analog consoles are still manufactured and sold. Are there circumstances where ...

We have always had programmable analog circuits. Any circuit that makes outputs change as a function of inputs is in some way programmable. Examples include gain change as a function of voltage or ...

The ongoing need for intra-circuit interface and limited-functions ICs. How small analog ICs can enable critical transitions and meet specialty roles. In a hard-to-articulate way, it’s somewhat ...

As variable frequency drives (VFDs) are becoming the primary go-to solution for motor control, their capability is not something that can be matched. With every new generation comes better performance ...
