Digital signal processors (DSPs) continue to receive a great deal of attention in new product design. For example, digital filter design reflects the importance of understanding and using this ...

Active filters are ubiquitous in electronic design today, performing signal-frequency manipulation and conditioning for audio, IF (intermediate frequency), and digital-signal processing. The success ...

What do engineers see when they look at a real system or conceive a new design? They will look past the hardware and visualize the flow of energy, where it is stored, and where it is dissipated. They ...

In my May blog post, I described the construction of a low-pass filter that used op-amps, capacitors, and resistors. I ignored thermal drift, long-term accuracy, and other characteristics and tested ...

Prior knowledge needed: ECEA 5700 Introduction to Power Electronics, ECEA 5701 Converter Circuits, ECEA 5702 Converter Control, ECEA 5703 Magnetics Design, ECEA 5705 Averaged Switch Modeling and ...

Second-stage output filters are often used to attenuate the output voltage ripple of a switching power supply. They can also isolate one load circuit from another. In this power tip, I will describe ...
