Designing a matching circuit is fairly straightforward for a buffered input ADC because it offers almost constant impedance across all frequencies. As we have already seen, this is not the case with ...

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 ...

High-speed circuit design is one of the most fundamental, yet challenging areas of electronics design. High-speed circuits are commonly used today, as standards like USB, HDMI, and PCIe require most ...

Matching Circuit Technology Covering Wide Impedance Range (On-chip Antenna Impedance Tuner, AIT) The integrated impedance-matching circuit technology presented by Renesas at ISSCC 2015 enabled compact ...

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 ...

[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 ...

In the “Say It with Me” series, we’ll take a commonly used concept out of electronics and explain it the best we can. If there’s something that’s been bugging you, or a certain term or concept that ...

There came a time when high-speed electronic circuits reached speeds that required engineers to analyze the design for signal ...

All engineers know resistance is usually bad news. It generates heat. It reduces efficiency. It wears out components and cuts operational lifetimes. However, resistance is not the only kind of ...
