If you have a modern function generator on your bench it is quite likely to contain a direct-digital synthesis circuit that creates arbitrary waveforms using a microprocessor controlled DAC. If you ...

The test industry is sprinting to keep up with the accelerating rate of change in design complexity, lower costs, time to market, and the way in which we interact with devices and instrumentation. Yet ...

The possibility of creating a frequency-tunable function generator with rectangular and triangular pulses of constant amplitude and electronic synchronous control of equivalent capacitances in the ...

This article is part of the Ideas for Design Series: Vol. 3, No. 7. This simple, robust, and low-cost signal generator, based on the LM386 power amplifier IC, provides a trio of audio-band signals ...

Most of my Blog posts involve short 3-4 hour projects/hacks that I just build up for learning and fun. I thought it was time to develop something a bit more involved and share my design process in a ...

When we see [Ken Shirriff] reverse engineering something, it tends to be on the microscopic level. His usual forte is looking at die photos of strange and obsolete chips and figuring out how they work ...
