I am pleased to bring you this month’s author for RAQ on Planet Analog, Frederik Dostal [frederik.dostal@analog.com]. He studied microelectronics at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany.

National Semiconductor has launched an integrated controller-driver chipset for high-voltage power conversion applications. This current-fed push-pull pulse-width modulated controller LM5041 works ...

In this article we introduce a new class of DC-to-DC converters, an example of which is the LTC3336. It only consumes about 65nA of current in standby mode, making it ideal for battery-operated ...

Communications channels used to be a challenging exercise in pure analog design. Today, modulation occurs in the digital domain in many systems. But the transmitted signal is analog, so there’s always ...

If you want to convert one voltage to another, what do you do? Well, if you are talking DC voltages today, you’ll probably use a DC to DC converter. Really, these converters generate some sort of AC ...

The LT1991/5/6 gain-selectable amplifier chips by Linear Technology (Reference 1) can be configured into either inverting, non-inverting, or difference amplifiers. Their integrated, precisely matched ...

A technical paper titled “Vertical Power Delivery for Emerging Packaging and Integration Platforms – Power Conversion and Distribution” was published by researchers at University of Illinois Chicago. ...

Let’s be real: no one wants to worry about plug types or voltage conversion on vacation. That’s why you need a great travel adapter — with the right model, you can plug in your chargers and ...
