A current sensor with PWM output is a very useful type of device. Traditionally, the device can serve in a digital application where the host microcontroller can determine the ratio of the on-time to ...

AEDR-872x encoder is an optical encoder with two channel for differential analog and a third channel for digital index output. This application note discusses the features, benefits, and proper ...

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 ...

TI's Ian Bower looks at the differences between implenting analog and mixed-signal functionality hardware and firmware with the goalof helping designers in one domain comfortable when working with ...

The distinction between analog and digital signals is very simple, but it can still be a challenge to wrap one's mind around the concepts that define the two systems. Just when you think you've got it ...

In our previous two issues, we discussed troubleshooting digital output modules. Troubleshooting analog modules is a bit more complicated, for two reasons: Analog modules aren't on/off, as digital ...

If these signals exhibit a simple, periodic waveform, such as with sine, square, or triangular waves, the generators are called function generators. They are often used to check the function of ...

Learn how power amplifiers work, the common types, and what to lookout for when shopping for amps. You have to find out if the amplifier is a Class A/B analog amp or a Class D digital amplifier before ...
