An experienced circuit-design EE once clarified his view of the hierarchy of IC-vendor design support: High-performance, feature-rich ICs were good, application circuits were better, but complete ...

What kinds of things can you accomplish with a PC DAQ board? Fundamentally, you've got analog input and output, digital input and output, and counter/timer functions to choose from. So, there is a ...

Industrial control systems can be categorized in two types: open-loop and closed-loop systems. The open-loop control system is a continuous control system that provides no feedback from its output.

Designers of digital systems are familiar with implementing the 'leftovers' of their digital design by using FPGAs and CPLDs to glue together various processors, memories, and standard function ...

This application note tackles on how to protect analog output circuits and why they should be protected. As one of the necessary components in the system’s performance, analog output circuits should ...

New AC and DC discrete I/O modules include 8-point, 100-120 VAC input and output modules, 8- and 15-point, 3.3-24 VDC input and output modules and high-density, 32-point,12-24 VDC input modules. The I ...
