Analog Devices references guard shields around their op amps as well as the printed circuit traces [1]. These traces are called guard rings; they circle and shield critical circuits. Another ...

Impedance mismatch in a circuit results in energy being reflected back to the source, reducing the amount of power available to the load and possibly causing damage to the power source. Matching the ...

Impedance matching is easy if you know the basics. Download the eBook to find out how. Impedance matching is one of those design processes that you use to make circuits and equipment work properly. It ...

This “Product How-To” article focuses how to use a certain product in an embedded system and is written by a company representative. Audio amplifier products are becoming more and more advanced in ...

[Ralph] is excited about impedance matching, and why not? It is important to match the source and load impedance to get the most power out of a circuit. He’s got a whole series of videos about it. The ...

As converter technology improves, so does the demand to resolve very high intermediate frequencies (IFs) accurately at high speeds. This poses two challenges: the converter design itself and the front ...
