One of the most challenging tasks in analog circuit design is to adapt a functional block to ever new CMOS process technology. For digital circuits the number of gates per square mm approx. doubles ...

…which would take a pulse-width-modulated waveform at any frequency, and produce a signal with exactly the same mark/space ratio, but at a nominated frequency (see ‘Why might this be useful?’ below).

I had never heard of the 74HCT9046 phase-locked loop before a fortnight ago, and now I own one. To my shame, it was apparently released by Phillips (now Nexperia) around 20 years ago – that said, the ...

The engineer has to design in power-rail filtering to meet the manufacturer’s specifications for output clock jitter in phase-lock loops (PLLs) and crystal oscillators. There are two types of power ...

The 74HC/HCT4046A are phase-locked loop (PLL) with linear voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) CMOS device having pins suited to 4046 in a 4000B series. These devices comply to JEDEC standard no. 7A.

Clock signals provide reference timing to every integrated circuit and electrical system. Consumer applications typically use simple quartz crystals for reference clock generation. Other applications, ...

TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (“Toshiba”) today announced the launch of “TC78B025FTG,” a three-phase brushless motor driver IC with a rotation speed control ...
