Impulse relay turns on with an electrical impulse at the control input and turns off again with another impulse.

Here is a detailed view of reverse polarity protection circuits for safeguarding battery-connected automotive systems.

New multi-GHz oscillators (XOs) and jitter attenuators bring timing chips into the digital domain by employing CMOS technology.

Most electrical and electronic devices today require a method to detect tampering. In many cases, it could mean that the door of a device has been opened. This post will share some tamper detection ...

Planet Analog provides an online community for semiconductor and system designers/engineers interested in advancing analog design techniques.

The first installment of this two-part series focused on debugging brushed-DC motor systems. Now the second installment will share some tips for stepper motor systems and provide general bench testing ...

Sensors are getting smarter by integrating sensing technology with embedded microcontrollers, software, and artificial intelligence (AI) that runs inside the sensor itself. Here, software solutions ...

Our fundamental passive and inherently analog components—resistors, capacitors, and inductors—are so conceptually simple and easy to describe that we often don’t fully articulate or appreciate the ...

There are many secondary functions associated with designing an electrocardiogram (ECG) signal chain, but one of the most important might be the most underrated: making sure that the electrodes are ...

There are various reasons why you might need to split a voltage rail in your design. Perhaps the design contains a sensor or an IC that requires a bipolar supply, or you need to make the best use of ...

When it comes to in-cabin sensing technologies, radar, 3D cameras, and artificial intelligence (AI) are now redefining vehicle interiors. These technologies are pushing the boundaries of in-cabin ...
