Why 45 degrees? An overview of loop stability in operational …
Nov 26, 2024 · In operational amplifier stability, one rule of thumb is to allow 45 degrees of phase margin. Other design guidelines state that 60 degrees is best; still others say that 30 degrees is sufficient.
An Analog Tutorial: Current sources - Planet Analog
Mar 28, 2019 · James Bryant, retired Analog Devices ‘guru’ says, “…current outputs offer advantages in a number of situations, including analog current-loop signaling (0 mA to 20 mA and 4 mA to 20 mA) in high-noise environments, and level shifting an analog signal across a large potential difference without the use of optical or magnetic isolation techniques.” (See …
An SoC-like design model for the analog world? - Planet Analog
Nov 18, 2024 · Is the system-on-chip (SoC) model that emerged in the semiconductor industry more than two decades ago seeping into the analog world? It seems like that when you take a closer look at onsemi’s recently announced Treo platform. It’s an analog and mixed-signal platform built with bipolar-CMOS-DMOS (BCD) process technology on a 65-nm node.
The Basics of SerDes (Serializers/Deserializers) - Planet Analog
Sep 16, 2010 · In a serial bus, a device called SerDes (Serializer/ Desrializer) is used to transmit and receive data over the serial link. In essence, a SerDes is a serial transceiver which converts parallel data into a serial data stream on the transmitter side and converts the serial data back to parallel on the receiver side.

Dec 22, 2023 · Global navigation satellite system (GNSS) technologies such as global positioning system (GPS), GLONASS, COMPASS/Beidou, Galileo, QZSS, IRNSS/NavIC, and others are increasingly crucial for terrestrial navigation, avionics, and naval navigation as well as timing for the vast array of communication networks dispersed around the globe.
Innovation tackles the automobile’s “antenna-farm” dilemma
Oct 17, 2024 · When radios were first introduced into cars in the early 1930s (thank you, Motorola) they were basic AM-band units. Power came from the 6-V car battery (12 volts did not become standard until the early 1950s) and that modest DC voltage was stepped up for the needed plate voltage by the vacuum tubes by first chopping it into a square wave via a …
