Isolation is needed now more than ever with applications like LED lighting, brushless motors, power monitoring, and many others that are a combination of direct offline power electronics with isolated ...

Find out how a digital technique performs multiplication on two bitstreams and avoids the cost of the analog multiplier.

Designers of digital systems are familiar with implementing the 'leftovers' of their digital design by using FPGAs and CPLDs to glue together various processors, memories, and standard function ...

What kinds of things can you accomplish with a PC DAQ board? Fundamentally, you've got analog input and output, digital input and output, and counter/timer functions to choose from. So, there is a ...

The world is digital, but sometimes the power of analog is just what is needed. The analog multiplier is a case in point with its ability to deliver real-time results, especially with rapidly varying ...

Back in the day where the microprocessor was our standard building block, we tended to concentrate on computation and processing of data and not so much on I/O. Simply put there were a lot of things ...

Here's why I'm asking: I have a Denon AVR 3803 receiver. I like it quite a bit, except for one glaring (IMHO) omission; in order to use my Sennheiser wireless headphones, I have to run both analog and ...
