The pristine, regimented symmetry of digital circuit boards is occasionally interrupted by an irregular huddle of linear components. These aberrants are tolerated because they perform a variety of ...

In predominantly digital systems it is often necessary to include linear circuit functions. Traditionally, separate power supplies have been used to run the linear components. Recently, there has been ...

A variety of linear models are available to represent common active electronic devices such as transistors and vacuum tubes. Devices operating under large-signal conditions often require nonlinear ...

The Linear Circuit Design Handbook runs 960 pages and tips the scales at nearly four pounds. Edited by senior apps engineer Hank Zumbahlen, it’s a product of Analog Devices’ engineering staff, meaning ...

Designers often use mathematical models to predict how mechanical and electrical systems will behave. The details expressed by these models, like significant digits in an equation, go only as deep as ...
