Many applications call for wide-range-tunable LC oscillators that can deliver a nearly constant-frequency, nearly harmonic-free output even when the circuit's output load changes. From a design ...

We wish that all the beautiful animations that are available today to understand math and electronics had been around when we were in school. Nonetheless, they are there for today’s students and ...

[Martin] sent in a great guide to a simple Arduino based theremin. It’s a very small build – just a single common IC and some passive components – and easy enough to build in an afternoon. The ...

Voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs) are pivotal components in modern communications and signal processing, where their ability to generate a stable yet tunable signal is paramount. The performance ...

The accelerating need for ever higher data rates and serial I/O density sets demanding performance requirements for current and next generation SerDes transceivers. Not only must they handle multiple ...

Dubbed Si500, “it generates any frequency from 900kHz to 200MHz and phase jitter is 2ps(RMS) maximum, 1.5ps typical”, said the firm. Period jitter at 100MHz is typically under 0.8ps. Silicon Labs has ...

The master timing control circuit for most electronic applications is a precision signal source. For digital applications, it’s an accurate clock. In RF applications, it’s a carrier source for a ...

Investopedia contributors come from a range of backgrounds, and over 25 years there have been thousands of expert writers and editors who have contributed. Somer G. Anderson is CPA, doctor of ...

Crystal oscillators sustain the heartbeat of virtually all electronic products. Just as most electronic products today contain at least one embedded controller, most also have at least one crystal ...

Glen Chenier’s blog I reposted yesterday got me thinking about other LC measurement techniques, including an inductance checker I built about 40 years ago and haven't used in nearly as long. The ...
