On visiting a high-performance GaAs fab, I was shown a problem with the measurement system. The on-wafer test system was calibrated using a power meter and on-wafer standards, using the built-in ...

A scalar network analyzer provides fast, economical measurements of many amplifier parameters. This note describes gain, gain compression, isolation, and return loss (SWR) measurements using the ...

If you’ve hung around electronics for any length of time, you’ve surely heard of the decibel (often abbreviated dB). The decibel is a measure of a power ratio. Actually, the real measure is a bel, but ...

at the top of this picture. Each board is two channels. An audio amplifier can boost the small incoming audio signal’s voltage by increasing its voltage, and current. The degree to which the amplifier ...

STMicroelectronics’ TSC1801 low-side current-measurement amplifier integrates matched resistors to set the gain, which simplifies the circuit design and ensures gain accuracy within 0.15% over the ...

These days there a large number of sensors and analog circuits that are “controller friendly” meaning that their output signal is easily interfaced to the built-in Analog to Digital Convertors (ADCs) ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Current-consumption monitoring is more important than ever due to the overwhelming trend toward smaller-sized ...

LOWELL, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MACOM Technology Solutions Inc. (“MACOM”), today introduced the MAAL-011141-DIE. Next generation test and measurement systems require higher performance wideband ...
