Transistors are tiny components that act as switches and amplifiers in nearly every electronic device. This video breaks down ...

Technological civilization stands before an existential paradox. While the demand for artificial intelligence (AI) grows ...

Abstract: Wireless monitoring systems in high-temperature, harsh industrial environments, including oscillator circuits to interface with sensing and transmission components, must operate over ...

Most of us know that a quartz clock uses a higher frequency crystal oscillator and a chain of divider circuits to generate a 1 Hz pulse train. It’s usual to have a 32.768 kHz crystal and a 15-stage ...

If you’ve worked with germanium transistors, you’ll know that many of them have a disappointingly low maximum frequency of operation. This has more to do with some of the popular ones dating from the ...

Sensors monitoring mechanical and biological systems must often scavenge power from the thing being sensed. The oscillator circuits shown here let you operate those sensors. Sensor circuits that ...

Explains the principles of transistor switching circuits, highlighting their role in electronic computers. It contrasts transistors with vacuum tubes, emphasizing that transistors function as ...

A new technical paper titled “Accelerating OTA Circuit Design: Transistor Sizing Based on a Transformer Model and Precomputed Lookup Tables” was published by University Minnesota and Cadence. “Device ...

Voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs) have a difficult challenge. On one side, they need to be stable with low values of detrimental characteristics such as phase noise, jitter, and drift. On the ...

The two persons above are the geniuses who gave us two classic oscillator circuits as shown in Figure 1. Figure 1 The two classic oscillators circuits: Colpitts (left) and Clapp (right). However, a ...

Everyone interested in analog electronics should find some value in this post. Of course, an effort has been made here to make the content understandable to relative newbies. Forget about complex ...

At SiTime, we often hear from many customers when they have crystal design issues such as cold startup failures, oscillator circuit problems from mismatched crystals, or failure to pass EMI tests.
