Circuits such as PLL (phase-locked loop) synthesizers, high-dynamic-range ADCs (analog-to-digital converters), and timing-sensitive digital networks require a stable and spurious-free clock. Testing ...

Circuits such as PLL synthesizers, high-dynamic-range ADCs, and timing-sensitive digital networks require stable and spurious-free clocks. Testing these circuits is a difficult task when you use a ...

Switching power supplies, operating directly from input power lines, are generally required to have their outputs galvanically isolated from the input, in order to reduce the danger of electrical ...

There’s a part you’ll find in almost every mains powered switch mode power supply that might at first appear to have only one application. An optocoupler sits between the low voltage and the high ...

In LEDs heat and high currents hasten the dimming process which can lead to unreliable operation in LED-powered optocouplers. Some simple and straight-forward analysis will keep their light shining ...

Static common-mode specifications have been the traditional standard used to measure isolators and compare devices with different construction or technologies. However, that standard is no longer an ...
