Linear Technology's recently introduced LTC4300 chip buffers I 2 C clock and data lines to and from a hot-swappable card. This task is difficult because the IC must work bidirectionally, meaning that ...

In a recently published Design Idea, Jim Hagerman proposes a two-transistor circuit that claims to replace the LTC4300 hot-swappable, two-wire LTC4300 bus buffer (“Two-transistor circuit replaces IC,” ...

For a long time, I have thought that pulse generator outputs should not have adjustable amplitude and offset. Instead, they should have an adjustable top value and a separately adjustable bottom value ...

Most buffer amplifiers use some kind of “follower” circuit such as a BJT or a MOS in a common-collector or common-drain configuration. Such transistors, however, have a finite transconductance (gm) ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Organic semiconductors have long held promise for enabling deformable electronic devices that can be manufactured at low cost and high volumes using printing techniques. However, ...
