Circuits such as PLL synthesizers, high-dynamic-range ADCs, and timing-sensitive digital networks require stable and spurious-free clocks. Testing these circuits is a difficult task when you use a ...

Circuits such as PLL (phase-locked loop) synthesizers, high-dynamic-range ADCs (analog-to-digital converters), and timing-sensitive digital networks require a stable and spurious-free clock. Testing ...

Switching power supplies, operating directly from input power lines, are generally required to have their outputs galvanically isolated from the input, in order to reduce the danger of electrical ...

Deep in the heart of your latest project lies a little silicon brain. Much like the brain inside your own bone-plated noggin, your microcontroller needs protection from the outside world from time to ...

The importance of signal isolation in high-voltage design The difference between optocouplers and opto-emulators Details on TI’s silicon dioxide (SiO 2) isolation technology Isolation is invaluable in ...

In LEDs heat and high currents hasten the dimming process which can lead to unreliable operation in LED-powered optocouplers. Some simple and straight-forward analysis will keep their light shining ...
