Noise is a fact of life, especially in electronic circuits. But on our paper schematics and just as often our simulations, there is no noise. If you are blinking an LED on a breadboard, you probably ...

Audiophiles spend a lot of time and effort worrying about audio specs like Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). Makes sense, because THD affects the quality of audio reproduction. However, THD can also ...

Level 1: Basic adjustment and analysis of switching speeds, optimized for quick simulation. Level 2: In additional to Level 1 features, includes thermal inputs and Cauer thermal RC network transient ...

LTspice simulation of the K2-W Vacuum Tube Op Amp’s design reveals the mad science that created a commercial revolution in 1950s and 1960s analog computing. The K2-W's first-stage differencing ...

A few months back, a dynamic voltage-controlled thermistor SPICE model was presented on planet analog, A Multi-Simulator NTC Thermistor SPICE Model With Temperature Driven By a Voltage With the help ...

For the development of dynamic systems in electrical engineering, control engineering, and even mechatronics, the steady-state response at the output of the system to harmonic excitation (sinusoidal ...

In the first part of this series we discussed pedal effect circuit design and in the second part we looked at a distortion pedal circuit with low power and soft clipping. Now we will discuss a rather ...

I was testing a circuit and found many discrepancies from the paper design I used to create it. The dynamics of the circuit were a bit unexpected, andthe noise level was much larger than required. I ...

Rolynd Aquino, Product Applications Engineer, Francis Ian Calubag, Systems Applications Engineer, and Janchris Espinoza, Product Applications Engineer, all with Analog Devices. This article contains ...

Diacs and triacs are often used for control of ac lines and are seeing increasing use in Internet-enabled line switches. However, the traditional approach of modeling them using bipolar transistors ...
