CMOS voltage reference circuits are integral to modern electronic systems, providing a stable and reproducible voltage that underpins the performance of myriad integrated devices. These circuits ...

Large analog systems that present many loads to a voltage-reference source can often demand more current than a single reference IC can deliver. However, if the reference IC includes force and sense ...

The Bandgap Reference (BGR) circuit is a key element in Very-large-scale Integration (VLSI) designs, providing a stable reference voltage that is crucial for the performance and reliability of analog ...

Designers charged with creating precision analog front ends and signal chains know that the performance of the voltage reference—whether a discrete standalone device or one that’s embedded in a ...

Many embedded systems require a stable, low-noise DC reference. This reference can be a stable current or voltage source. These references are used in many ways. Some typical uses are listed as ...

When I was recently debugging a design, I discovered that a short circuit existed from a ground plane to a power plane. I did not have access to a milliohmmeter or an equivalent tester for locating ...

So starts a story in Electronics Weekly’s edition of December 17th 1975. ‘A monolithic temperature-stabilised voltage-reference IC, which is claimed will out-perform standard zener diodes by a factor ...

Analog Devices has created an alternative to its venerable LTZ1000 ultra-precision voltage reference, with better initial accuracy and less noise, although not every parameter is improved. Called ...

Helix Semiconductors’ HS200 DC-DC MuxCapacitor Power IC is a new type of voltage divider that can play an integral role in a distributed power architecture (DPA) system. It provides a high-efficiency ...
