Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillators (TCXOs) are widely used in today’s wireless communications systems. They have become a vital component to cell phones and the growing wireless PDA industry. High-end TCXOs are also an important component in telecom and other industries.
The major difference between...
This paper describes a method for reducing the power consumption of sensor systems by utilizing the standby functions of a microcontroller (MCU). In concrete terms, the frequency of sensor measurements is reduced, and the system is kept in the standby condition for as long as possible. Furthermore, abnormality detection...
System designers are faced with continual pressure to meet their development schedules, and need to implement designs with minimal effort and risk while maintaining maximum flexibility. By using a programmable-based approach instead of several discrete devices or Application Specific Standard Products (ASSPs), designers...
Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology continues to transform radar systems and wireless cellular Base Transceiver Station (BTS) systems. DSP technology has made possible the dramatic gains in radar sensitivity, range and image quality, as well as the gains in the cell phone radio performance, data bandwidth and power...
Because a growing percentage of both business and personal information is stored “in the cloud,” it becomes more important than ever to ensure fast, reliable access to this information.
Fiber networks have begun bringing high-speed connectivity to neighborhoods across the country, but for telecom providers...
Utilizing embedded microcontrollers for industrial applications requires special attention given the harsh and noisy environment. Going from a supply voltage as low as +1.5V or +3.3V to the +24V industrial world requires careful design decisions and dedicated solutions to achieve safe and reliable operation.
The following...
Allegro MicroSystems, LLC is a world leader in developing, manufacturing, and marketing high-performance integrated circuits (ICs), which incorporate high performance magnetic transducers.
This whitepaper provides a basic understanding of the giant magnetoresistance (GMR) effect and how Allegro uses this technology...
How an improved decision flow can help power systems designers reduce materials and development costs and save design time while developing products better aligned with customers’ requirements.
For electronics product designs with a large (>100W) power requirement, the method for choosing a power supply...
In the not too distance past, procuring a low phase noise 1 GHz source was very expensive, limiting it to only very high-end applications that could support the cost of incorporating this technology in the design.
Employing a compact, low-phase noise, high-frequency source in your design will combine the best attributes...
This paper processes and studies the effects of a dual - stage compensation technique for achieving greater than 100 KHz cross over frequency of a single pole system converting from 48V to 1.2V .
By placing a separate non- inventing gain stage after the erorr amplifier, the necessary gain - bandwidth of the op amp...
Low-power electrical transients generated within a facility are the primary cause of failure to AC/DC power supplies. These transients reduce the life of power supplies and create unplanned downtime.
This document will explain why these transients cause failure and outline how placing high-power transient voltage...
With the push toward more efficient energy usage, lower carbon footprints and resource sustainability gaining momentum throughout the world, virtually every aspect of energy generation and consumption is coming under intense scrutiny for improvement.
Cirrus Logic’s smart energy products improve power grid performance...
