Here is a detailed view of reverse polarity protection circuits for safeguarding battery-connected automotive systems.

Impulse relay turns on with an electrical impulse at the control input and turns off again with another impulse.

New multi-GHz oscillators (XOs) and jitter attenuators bring timing chips into the digital domain by employing CMOS technology.

Most electrical and electronic devices today require a method to detect tampering. In many cases, it could mean that the door of a device has been opened. This post will share some tamper detection ...

Ultrasonic time-of-flight (ToF) sensors come to rescue indoor sensors, which often fail to detect and avoid barriers like plexiglass walls, translucent doors, and glass windows. Here is how ToF ...

When it comes to in-cabin sensing technologies, radar, 3D cameras, and artificial intelligence (AI) are now redefining vehicle interiors. These technologies are pushing the boundaries of in-cabin ...

The capacitor auto-discharge module presented in this article is simply a failsafe module that automatically discharges the buffer/filter capacitor in a power supply circuit when its input supply is ...

I have always preferred products and designs which embody the “keep it simple” approach and stick to their basic functions done well, rather than adding many extra, often superfluous functions and ...

New sensing devices claim to improve responsiveness and long-term sleep health by integrating snore detection capability into pressure sensors. These pressure sensors deliver real-time data to ...

Planet Analog provides an online community for semiconductor and system designers/engineers interested in advancing analog design techniques.

Resolution is key in maximizing the performance of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). But here comes the rub: resolution ...
