The dual approach of digital and analog lock-in amplifier technologies has continued to advance the precise extraction of weak signals from noise-laden environments. These devices are indispensable in ...

Logical- and physical-synthesis tools have revolutionized digital-ASIC design over the past decade, increasing chip functions and designer productivity. However, many of today's SOC (system-on-chip) ...

When the world's first commercially available audio product using a digital amplifier appeared in 1998, it created quite a stir with its performance and ease of use. Digital amplifiers provide several ...

A while back, [Chris Lu] was studying how analog circuits, specifically op-amps can be used to perform mathematical operations and wondered if they could be persuaded to solve differential equations, ...

At $1,999, the Technics HA-507 is a pure analog headphone amplifier and preamplifier with a balanced/dual mono configuration. Although TEAC’s Reference 500 series includes UD models that combine both ...

In order to help his friend prepare for a talk at DEFCON this weekend, [Craig] built an IR photodiode amplifier circuit. The circuit extended the detection range of the hack from a few inches to a few ...
