Many electronic systems require both positive and negative voltages to operate properly. Generating an efficient, low-voltage positive output from a higher voltage input typically entails the use of a ...
Buck regulators are usually the first choice when you design nonisolated step-down regulators unless the ratio of V IN to V OUT is greater than 10, the input voltage is high, or both. Low duty cycle ...
Clock gating is an effective method of reducing the dynamic power consumption in synchronous circuits. One of the ways to achieve this is by masking the clock that goes to the idle portion of the ...
A voltage-to-frequency converter (VFC) can easily measure current flow and convert it to a digital signal understood by the timer/counter input of a microcomputer (µC) or microprocessor. It's a ...
As a technology and solution, the BBC installed several hundred of these circuits to service its audio and data requirements throughout the United Kingdom. Using E1 circuits offers great confidence to ...
The paper presents an outline of a simple synthesis method of energy-efficient FSMs. The idea consists in using local clock gating to selectively block the clock signal, if no transition of a state of ...
