ADA4355 from Analog Devices is a current-input digital-output converter works with pulses down to 10ns for time-of-flight measurements using photo diodes. In a 12 x 6mm BGA package, the IC is actually ...

To ensure the stability of dc-dc converters, most power-system designers adhere to the common rule that input source impedance should be small compared to the converter's input impedance. Not all ...

Electronic equipment uses predominantly positive voltage rails for power; occasionally, some negative voltage rails are also used. For this reason, negative (or inverting) output DC-DC converter ...

With the variety of capacitor technologies available, choosing the appropriate input capacitors for your switchmode power supply (SMPS) can be very challenging. As a capacitor's characteristics depart ...
