Analog Electronics deals with electronic systems that has a continuous variable signal. In this section we will discuss about various analog electronic projects that can be used to design your own amplifiers, oscillators, filters, analog converters, waveform generators and other analog circuits as required by your application.
SiTime Corporation has released the SiT3901 µPower digitally controlled MEMS oscillator (DCXO) for power-sensitive and space-constrained mobile and IoT applications. Ideal for wireless charging systems for smartwatches, activity trackers, hearing aids, wearables, portable medical devices, this new oscillator enables the charger to dynamically tune the resonant…
The new RAA2S425x product Family from Renesas Electronics integrates multiple analog and digital functions to reduce design time and costs of xEV/EV/FCEV pressure sensing braking, transmission, and HVAC systems. Designed for automotive pressure sensing systems, these new devices feature significantly ease the design cycle and reduce customers' system BOM and production costs…
In this project we build a boost converter circuit using a 555 timer IC. Boost converter is a non-isolated type of switch mode power supply that is used to step-up the voltage. In other words, it gives a higher output voltage compared to the input voltage. The circuit is very similar to a buck converter we designed for controlling motor and LED strip which is used…
In this article, we will make a buck converter using 555 timer IC and a IRFZ44N N channel MOSFET and use it as LED dimmer circuit or as a motor speed controller circuit. This circuit is basically a simple power electronics DC-DC Buck converter which can be used to step down voltage, its efficiency results in better battery life due to reduced heat generation making it a…
Expanding its ProXO family of oscillators, Renesas Electronics Corporation has introduced new ProXO+ programmable TCXOs that deliver ±3ppm frequency stability from -40˚C to +85˚C temperature range with programmable frequencies up to 2.1GHz and 135fs phase Jitter performance. These compact, ultra-low noise, temperature-controlled clock oscillators are suitable…
Compared to DC voltage/very low frequency based comparator applications, the High-Frequency Comparator applications require additional parameters and considerations to provide better signal processing efficiency. Like DC Voltage applications, in High-Frequency applications also, the Op-Amps are being used instead of comparators. But, during high-frequency signal processing,…
In practical electronic circuits, signal processing is an important constraint and different types of methodologies are required to satisfy the customer demand of various design requirements. For any of the signal conditioning requirements, the Op-Amp is the first choice for any designer to comply with the design requirements and in most cases, the Operation amplifiers will…
We are living in the era of 5G and 5G-enabled devices; however, old technologies like the walkie-talkie system and RF communication system are still paramount in scenarios where a remote, short-distance, cheap, and low-cost communication is required. For example, if you have a building or heavy-weight bearing construction company, then your workers need to communicate with…
One of the main applications for Schmitt triggers is interfacing signals between Analog electronics and Digital electronics, and translating levels within different logic families.
One major problem encountered during this process is the pickup of noise. Digital signals are inherently fast because they deal with high frequencies and fast-…
Operational Amplifiers are the workhorse of analog electronic designs. These humble devices are used from simple voltage followers to complicated inverter designs since the time immemorial. Here at CircuitDigest, we have already discussed a wide range of op-amp circuits and its applications. Today, we will be looking into another interesting concept associated with Op-Amps,…
Operational Amplifiers or op-amps for short are perhaps the most widely used component amongst all analog electronics. Because of their versatility, only a few external components are needed to configure them to perform a wide range of tasks like amplification, addition, subtraction, multiplication, integration and so on, hence the name operational amplifier,…
With eight SAR ADCs in 14-, 16- and 18-bit resolution at sampling speeds ranging from 10 to 125 MSPS, the new ADC3660 family of ADCs from Texas Instruments can help designers in improving signal resolution, extending battery life, and strengthening system protection. Bridging the high-speed and precision gap, these new SAR ADCs ease the designing of high-speed digital…
