You would like to measure the output pin of your circuit with a spectrum analyzer, but the pin needs to be biased to be in a standard operation mode. How would you bias this circuit without affecting ...

The use of digital potentiometers and volume-control ICs to replace mechanical pots enables a wider variety of user-interface features, but consumer-product designers are also pushed to reduce costs ...

Bias circuits for class AB buffers (Fig. 1a) can take several forms. One alternative (not necessarily the best) is usually called the “old VBE doubler” (Fig. 1b). The main purpose of these circuits is ...

This paper presents the practical application of body biasing control of ultra-deep submicron FD-SOI technologies for analog and mixed-signal designs. The body biasing control is dedicated for dynamic ...

In some power-supply applications, the pulse-width-modulator (PWM) controller is powered up from an auxiliary winding tapped off the power stages transformer (Fig. 1). This technique reduces power ...

A new technical paper titled “Cryogenic-Aware Forward Body Biasing in Bulk CMOS” was published by researchers at QuTech, Tu Delft. “Cryogenic CMOS (cryo-CMOS) circuits are often hindered by the ...

Display Driver Integrated Circuits (DDICs) serve as a critical nexus between image processing units and visual display devices, including LCDs, OLEDs and other emerging panel technologies. These ...

We were recently tipped off to quite a resource — on the Texas Instruments website, there’s a page where you can view and download a compendium of analog sub-circuits. Individual circuits can be ...
