A brushless dc motor needs several voltage levels to control its speed: 0V to stop the motor, 5V to run it at maximum speed, and some voltages between these extremes to run it slower. When you use ...

A version of thie article appeared in the February 2012 issue of Test & Measurement World. See the PDF. Many industrial systems use the 4–20-mA loop to transmit measurements from sensors to displays, ...

Analog Devices has an output stage IC designed particularly for arbitrary waveform generators and power supplies. It is rather pricey, at $86 from Digikey, for example ($360 for the eval kit) but can ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Laboratory data often appears as Gaussian curves, and today's laboratory data-acquisition software is designed to ...

When designing a system, one of the most important design decisions is choosing what voltage domain(s) to use. Some voltage domains, such as 5 V, are good for noisy and harsh operating environments ...
