The advent of inexpensive standardized 16- and 24-bit audio I/O hardware for personal computers inspired a rush of oscilloscope simulating applications. Many of these “Sound Card Scopes” are quite ...

As operating speeds increase, the effect of the internal impedance at the input nodes become more critical to achieving the desired frequency response. The most common issues revolve around the common ...

In the “Say It with Me” series, we’ll take a commonly used concept out of electronics and explain it the best we can. If there’s something that’s been bugging you, or a certain term or concept that ...

An oscilloscope and a device under test (DUT) constitute a de-facto system. In it, the most overlooked element is the interface between the two: the oscilloscope’s probes. Test personnel simply grab ...

Though sometimes taken for granted, designers shouldn’t overlook the intricacies of voltage- and current-feedback op amps—integral players in the analog and mixed-signal worlds. Op amps amplify tiny ...
