And here it is, modelled using LTSpice. It is the same circuit as the classic simple precision rectifier (set to pass the negative half-sine), but with the non-inverting input of the op-amp connected ...

A circuit powered from an automotive electrical system must survive in a harsh environment. Voltage transients can be either random or repetitive. Repetitive transients, such as a cranking the engine, ...

Some amplifier applications require clamping or limiting due to large, sporadic signals appearing at the amplifier input. Clamping these errant signals protects the amplifier and other sensitive ...

I have wanted to make a pulse generator for years. I know you can buy perfectly good ones, but not if you want non-overlapping outputs to drive the mosfets in synchronous-rectified dc-dc converters.

In the first two parts of this article, the first two generations of triangle-wave generator loops were presented – the foundational concepts at the heart of function generator (FG) technology. This ...

A prolific author of technical articles and books, Christophe P. Basso (ON Semiconductor, Toulouse, France) has written a new book, Linear Circuit Transfer Functions—An Introduction to Fast Analytical ...
