SoftEye develops hardware- and software-based eye intent technology for smart glasses, connecting users to generative AI.

There is another analog compute-in-memory solution for math-heavy AI workloads, which is capacitor-based and achieves power efficiency above 40 TOPS/W. Analog AI accelerator startup EnCharge is ...

Here is how a fascination with analog and mixed-signal semiconductors led Tony Pialis to design innovations in SerDes architectures.

Planet Analog provides an online community for semiconductor and system designers/engineers interested in advancing analog design techniques.

In Part 1 of this series, we discussed the Wheatstone bridge topology, excitation and calibration methodologies, and basic signal-conditioning techniques using building blocks such as difference ...

The tips and tricks when testing motor-driver ICs on the lab bench can help engineers reduce time spent on evaluating and prototyping motor systems. The first installment of this two-part article ...

Engineers often use SPICE simulations for operational amplifiers to look at the stability of a proposed circuit. SPICE simulations are particularly frequent for high-speed amplifier applications where ...

Phase noise is a critical parameter in most phase-locked loop (PLL) synthesizer applications. In radars, for example, phase noise at low-offset frequencies translates to the ability to discern between ...

Bad Fast Fourier Transfer (FFT) data captures can cause you to misunderstand the true performance of your analog-to-digital converter (ADC). Some engineers like to coherently sample and capture data ...

The first installment of this two-part series focused on debugging brushed-DC motor systems. Now the second installment will share some tips for stepper motor systems and provide general bench testing ...
