Thank you for reading Signal Chain Basics! As Bill Klein mentioned in his last article (links below), Signal Chain Basics will now be written by several Texas Instruments analog experts, and Rick ...

Up to this point in this series, we have examined the operational amplifier (op amp) and its use in several applications. To emphasize the diversity of the entire signal chain, this article opens the ...

How analog signal engineering is performed, in broad strokes. What are the component-selection considerations for new designs? What are VFAs and how are they used? Analog signal engineers specialize ...

Fig 1. Digital filters are just a combination of multiplications and accumulations. Shown are an IIR filter with feedback and an FIR filter with a series of weighted samples (taps). Fig 2. Starting ...

Digital circuit design is largely automated today, but most analog components still are designed manually. This may change soon. As analog design grows increasingly complex and error-prone, design ...
