Keywords: Amplifier High Voltage Buffer Diode Driver Circuit Problems: Can a low voltage amplifier be bootstrapped to get a high voltage buffer? Reply: You can take an op amp with excellent input characteristics and further improve its performance over the original op amp in terms of voltage range, gain accuracy, slew rate, and distortion. I have designed the input of a precision volt...
Read moreKeywords: controller driver semiconductor smart power supply A typical programmable logic controller (PLC) today contains many analog and digital outputs used to control and monitor industrial and production processes. Modularity is widely adopted, and in terms of input and output (I/O), it covers the basic functions of analog I/O and digital I/O. Analog outputs present a special chal...

Read moreThe ISL54103 DDC Accelerator (DDCA) is a dual active pull-up bus termination that increases data transfer speed on the DDC 2-wire serial bus interface. DDCA uses two internal voltage references per channel and two comparators. After the voltage on the data line exceeds the first threshold (VTRIPL), the boost pull-up current source speed transition is initiated. When the ...
Read moreSerial Peripheral Interface (SPI) is one of the most widely used interfaces between microcontrollers and peripheral ICs such as sensors, ADCs, DACs, shift registers, SRAMs, etc. This article begins with a brief description of the SPI interface, and then describes Analog Devices' SPI-enabled analog switches and multiplexers, and how they can help reduce the number of ...

Read moreThe ISL6753 is a high-performance, low-pin-count alternative, zero-voltage switching (ZVS) full-bridge PWM controller. Like the ISL6551, it adjusts the resonant switching delay by driving the high-side FET at a fixed 50% duty cycle while the trailing edge of the low-side FET modulates the switching delay. In contrast, this algorithm provides the equivalent efficiency and impro...
