Editor’s note: I am so happy that there are still companies around that create precision, discrete transistors in our industry; Linear Integrated Systems is one of the best I have encountered. There ...

In this session of Logic Noise, we’ll be playing around with the voltage-controlled oscillator from a 4046 phase-locked loop chip, and using it to make “musical” pitches. It’s a lot of bang for the ...

Voltage-controlled oscillator-based analog-to-digital converters (VCO-based ADCs) represent an emerging class of digitisation circuits that harness the frequency-modulating properties of VCOs to ...

Applications ranging from consumer electronics to high-power energy-conversion systems leverage the benefits of dc-dc power converters in their designs. Among these, flyback converters are popular for ...

The demand for analog and mixed-signal-based integrated circuits (ICs) has surged due to the increasing reliance on electronic-based applications across industries. As the world transitions to more ...

is now a function of time for both constant ζ and for ζ (t): . How ζ (t) varies over time depends on the ACL dynamics. The problem can be approached generally, without regard to oscillator type, by ...
