After a brief break, I found myself revisiting latching relays—not just as components, but as puzzles waiting to be solved.

Here’s a nostalgic vibe of an awesome analog chip from the 1990s era that’s still making an impact in audio designs.

A software suite powering oscillators and clocks claims higher time synchronization accuracy than quartz-based solutions.

There are many options when you need to splice wires. In addition to formal two-piece connectors, there’s the widely used ...

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

Engineers often use SPICE simulations for operational amplifiers to look at the stability of a proposed circuit. SPICE simulations are particularly frequent for high-speed amplifier applications where ...

One of the issues that beginning electronic engineers must grasp is the concept of impedance and impedance matching, epically with respect to transmission lines, cables, and connectors. This FAQ ...

A capacitor measured with a $100 handheld multi-meter can give a substantially different result than the same capacitor measured with a $10,000 LCR meter. That same capacitor measured with two ...

The first installment of this two-part series focused on debugging brushed-DC motor systems. Now the second installment will share some tips for stepper motor systems and provide general bench testing ...

In operational amplifier stability, one rule of thumb is to allow 45 degrees of phase margin. Other design guidelines state that 60 degrees is best; still others say that 30 degrees is sufficient.

The tips and tricks when testing motor-driver ICs on the lab bench can help engineers reduce time spent on evaluating and prototyping motor systems. The first installment of this two-part article ...

When it comes to in-cabin sensing technologies, radar, 3D cameras, and artificial intelligence (AI) are now redefining vehicle interiors. These technologies are pushing the boundaries of in-cabin ...
