Figure 1 shows a simple system using comparators to do the level monitoring. The key advantages to using this method are cost and design simplicity. TI’s LM391x can be used as a precision analog ...

How analog signal engineering is performed, in broad strokes. What are the component-selection considerations for new designs? What are VFAs and how are they used? Analog signal engineers specialize ...

Considerations for dividing analog and digital blocks. Decoupling techniques. Breaking down the board layers. How best to deal with grounding. Similar to building a house, it’s essential to create a ...

Traditional sonar and radar use an echo-based approach, and have been amazingly successful in sensing and tracking vehicles and objects under water, through the air, or even in space. The principle is ...
