Analog Mixer- Additive Mixer and Multiplicative Mixer Setup How to build an Analog Mixer - Additive Mixer and Multiplicative Mixer

A mixer is a special type of electronic circuit that combines two signals (periodically repeating waveforms). Mixers find a lot of use in audio and RF systems and rarely used as simple analog ‘computers’. There are two types of Analog Audio Mixers - Additive Mixers and Multiplicative Mixers.

 

1. Additive Mixers

Like their name suggests, additive mixers simply add…

Frequency Compensation of Op-Amp Frequency Compensation of Op-amp and why it is important in your Op-Amp Circuits

Operational Amplifiers or Op-Amps are considered the workhorse of Analog Electronic Designs. Back from the Analog computers era, Op-Amps have been used for mathematical operations with analog voltages, hence the name operational amplifier. To date, Op-Amps are extensively used for voltage comparison, differentiation, integration, summation and many other things. Needless to…

What is Vacuum Tube and How does it Work What is Vacuum Tube and How does it Work

You might be tempted to dismiss the good old tube as a relic of the past – after all, how can a few pieces of metal in a glorified light bulb hold up to the transistors and integrated circuits of today? Although tubes lost their place in the storefront of consumer electronics but they still remain insignificant use where there is need for a lot of power at very high (GHz…

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) – Types, Standards and Shielding Techniques Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) – Types, Standards and Shielding Techniques

Certification is usually one of the most expensive and tedious stages during the development of a new hardware product. It helps the authorities to know that the product adheres to all the laid down laws and guidelines around the functions. This way, the performance of that particular product can be assured to prevent hazards, and harm to its users. As tedious as this stage…

Texas Instruments’ OPA855 
8-GHz Operational Amplifier Mouser Electronics Now Stocking Texas Instruments’ OPA855 
8-GHz Operational Amplifier

Mouser Electronics is now stocking the OPA855 decompensated amplifier from Texas Instruments (TI). Designed as a wideband, low-noise, bipolar-input operational amplifier, the OPA855 excels in high bandwidth transimpedance and voltage amplifier applications. The 8-GHz gain-bandwidth product (GBWP) of the OPA855 enables high-gain configurations while maintaining wide closed-…

New Tiny amplifiers minimize footprint and maximize performance in space-constrained designs New Tiny amplifiers minimize footprint and maximize performance in space-constrained designs

Texas Instruments released new small sized current-sense amplifier in a leaded package and small, accurate comparators with an internal 1.2V or 0.2V reference. The new INA185 current-sense amplifier, and open-drain TLV4021 and push-pull TLV4041 comparators help engineers to design smaller, simpler and more integrated systems while maintaining high performance. The amplifiers…

RC Phase Shift Oscillator using Op-Amp RC Phase Shift Oscillator using Op-Amp

When an RC phase shift oscillator employs an op-amp in its circuit, it becomes an electronic oscillator with a stable sine wave output. It functions by developing two groups of 180-degree phase shifts, one via the RC network and the other via an op-amp in an inverting circuit. Due to this phase shift arrangement, it produces nearly pure sinusoidal signals with extreme frequency stability and…

In simple Op-Amp applications, the output is proportional to…

Interfacing Vibration Sensor Module with Arduino Interfacing Vibration Sensor Module with Arduino

There are several critical machines or expensive equipment which suffer damage due to vibrations. In such a case, a vibration sensor is required to find out whether the machine or equipment is producing vibrations or not. Identifying the object which is continuously vibrating is not a tricky job if the proper sensor is used to detect the vibration. There are several types of…

Inductor Coupling and Series & Parallel Combinations Inductor Coupling - Series & Parallel Combinations

In previous tutorial, we started with Understanding an Inductor and It's Working, now it is time to explore the different combinations of Inductors. In electronics, Inductors are the most commonly used components after the capacitors and resistors, which are used in different combinations for different applications. We have also used inductor to build metal detectors and…
