Receiving infrared (IR) signals while conserving system power is difficult, and typically requires the inclusion of complex power-management routines in the firmware. You can avoid that problem by disconnecting power to the microcontroller when IR ...

The circuit of Figure 1 is designed for portable-power applications that require white LEDs with adjustable, logarithmic dimming levels. The circuit drives as many as four white LEDs from a 3.3 V source and adjusts the total LED current from 1 to ...

When designing devices with microcontrollers (MCU), I like to use some of the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) inputs to measure onboard voltages along with all the required sensors inputs. This means I often run out of ADC inputs. So presented ...

A colleague asked for the measured jitter number on a single-supply comparator design based on the LM359 IC ( Ref. 1 ). He wanted to know how the jitter performance of the discrete comparator compared to an IC comparator, which was used with an ...

There’s been a lot of interesting conversation and DI teamwork lately devising circuits for ON/OFF power control using inexpensive momentary-contact switches (See Ref. 1 Ref. 4 ). Most of these designs have incorporated edge triggered ...

Dual precision comparators are needed in many designs, such as for industrial and instrumentation applications, to generate accurate pulse-width modulated (PWM) waveforms with very high ( 99%) and very low ( 1%) duty-cycle percentages. This design ...

A stable voltage from an input supply that is higher and lower than the output is often required. A common solution is to use a boost converter followed by an LDO as shown in Figure 1. The boost converter is configured to accept voltages ranging ...

This modular resistor load bank uses a unique topology to reduce the number of switches and resistors while providing the maximum number of steps. An array or bank of load resistors is often required for testing power products, characterization of ...

Introduction In general, muting and/or signal switching is done by relays, FETs or CMOS analogue switch ICs. All have limitations, but a little known technique that really doesn't look like it could ever work is to use bipolar transistors. The ...
