In part 1, I illustrated how our decimal/Arabic number system is based on our ability to count up to nine with a single digit. After that, we add a digit (with a weighting of ten) and then continue to count the first digit from zero to nine again. The best way to explain how computers […]
In Part 1, I discussed how the regulated supply reacts to a switching transient, and how the regulator bypass capacitance CR suppresses the transient. In this post, I will discuss how this same bypass capacitance affects the loop gain characteristics of the regulator. I will then present a procedure to design this regulator quickly, and […]

If you are subscribed by e-mail, you need not do anything; I apologize in advance for spamming you. This was the only way to inform people of the RSS feed change. The old RSS feed used to be http://feeds.feedburner.com/circuitdesign/TSIB and has been replaced with a new RSS feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/CircuitDesign I’ve been tweaking the site. I […]
I’ve stated in a previous post that the digital revolution is all about measuring signals and representing them in a binary format that can then be processed with digital gadgets. A big part of this processing is the ability to represent anything in a binary format. My definition of binary is a representation which only […]
In this post, I will detail how I designed a regulator quickly. The idea here wasn’t to get the best performing regulator, but just one that did the job. I do care about performance, area, and power, just not as much in this case. The most important thing was to meet the schedule. If I […]
In part 2 & part 3, I defined analog vs digital signals and gadgets. In this post, I will explain why digital gadgets have over-taken analog gadgets. The electronic industry has been and will forever be reducing cost and adding features. As a result, more complexity is being required of electronic devices while reducing the […]
Note: Part 2 is lost to history. This website was hacked sometime around 2015, and I had to recreate each of these posts by hand. It seems like the hacker (for whatever reason) deleted Part 2. In part 2, I defined the analog signal and the analog gadget. In this post, I give a definition […]
