Cadence Design Systems has announced the availability of the Cadence Virtuoso Accelerated Parallel Simulator (APS), its next-generation circuit simulator, which constitutes a key part of the Cadence ...

Last month's column covered the behavior of electrical components connected in series and demonstrated that when a voltage is applied across a series circuit, the current through each component is the ...

Linear constantcurrent drivers, for instance, offer low EMI, low cost, and use only a few components. Many designers favor them for low-current applications where power loss is a minor concern. If ...

A previous EDN article proposed a technique for modifying active-RC-filter-design equations to use exact standard-component values (Reference 1).The main idea was to determine standard-component-value ...

The process of circuit design can cover systems ranging from national power grids all the way down to the individual transistors within an integrated circuit. For simple circuits the design process ...
