Component Obsolescence: more than a case of “you might also like…”

September 18, 2017 By Chris Francis Leave a Comment

component obsolescence

I have faced the problems of component obsolescence from my very early experiences of electronics design. In some cases it can be trivial — a transistor being discontinued and a suitable alternative easy to find. However, that is not always the case. Even a simple transistor replacement could result in PCB changes being necessary if […]

Choosing a reference voltage for an ADC

September 15, 2017 By Janet Heath Leave a Comment

Analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) need a reference voltage (VREF) input in order to operate properly. ADCs convert analog inputs that can vary from zero volts on up to a maximum voltage level that is called the reference voltage. The reference voltage determines the ceiling of what the ADC can convert, and is essentially the yardstick against […]

Difference between fixed and floating point

September 15, 2017 By Scott Thornton 1 Comment

Various types of processors (DSPs, MCUs, etc.) have the ability to do math using floating point numbers, but what exactly does this mean? In general, floating point math offers a wider range of numbers and more precision than fixed point math. Knowing the difference, and when to use which type of math can make a […]

Learning SMPS the hard way

September 7, 2017 By Aimee Kalnoskas Leave a Comment

By Tahmid, EDAboard.com forum member SMPS is the toughest section in power electronics. For this subject, you require additional knowledge for choosing the active and passive parts used in SMPS circuits. The special type of parts often required in power electronics (i.e. for low-frequency applications) may not be suitable in the case of SMPS. When […]
