Improving density in circuit design is an ongoing challenge. One solution is to reconsider circuit layouts from the ...

Circuit Dynamics: Design-Oriented Analysis, Dennis L. Feucht, Innovatia (www.innovatia.com), first printing: OCT 2016, 86 pages, 6 × 9 inch, glossy softcover, $25 US. This short book is a systematic, ...

Designing, constructing, testing, and improving circuits—especially those with significant analog content—was always one of my interests. The fact that you could arrange standard active and passive ...

All circuits, analog or digital, have characteristics dependent on the values of their component parts. Invariably, these parts are non-ideal in many ways. Even their most fundamental characteristics, ...

Relays usually are driven using optocouplers, which offer isolation between analog and digital grounds to ensure that switching currents in the relay coils do not affect the noise margin of the ...

Chip design is as much of an art as it is an engineering feat. With all of the possible layouts of logic and memory blocks and the wires linking them, there are a seemingly infinite placement ...
