Modeling is the single most important activity in mechatronic system design and this article focuses on some techniques and tools engineers can use to create mathematical models from the various ...

A prolific author of technical articles and books, Christophe P. Basso (ON Semiconductor, Toulouse, France) has written a new book, Linear Circuit Transfer Functions—An Introduction to Fast Analytical ...

Some operational amplifiers (op amps) have an inductive open-loop output impedance, which can be more complex to stabilize than op amps with resistive output impedances. One of the most common ...

An LC circuit often called a “pi-network” is commonly used to match the impedance of a transmitter's load (an antenna) to something more suitable for the transmitter's output amplifier. That output ...

Though sometimes taken for granted, designers shouldn’t overlook the intricacies of voltage- and current-feedback op amps—integral players in the analog and mixed-signal worlds. Op amps amplify tiny ...
