Circuit and system design requirements often mean compromises. For example, optoisolators are used almost everywhere, but they are highfrequency limited. This simple circuit allows for wider bandwidth ...

An SCR topology transmogrifies into BJT two-wire precision current source with a self-resetting fault-current limiter.

CMOS current mirrors are pivotal in modern electronic circuitry, providing accurate current replication that is essential for biasing, amplification and active loading in a myriad of integrated ...

Last time we looked at Spice models of a current sink. We didn’t look at some of the problems involved with a simple sink, and for many practical applications, they are perfectly adequate. However, ...

Digital-to-Analog Converter (D/A) designers are challenged with shorter time-to-market constraints, smaller die sizes, and faster clocks. Trying to meet these marketing requirements on high-speed D/A ...
