Tradeoffs in Analog Front-End Architectures for Power Applications

What is an analog front-end (AFE)? Why use an AFE? AFE tradeoffs in energy-meter design. Sensors provide analog signals that need to be converted to digital values via analog-to-digital converters ...

Even in a Digital World, Analog Multipliers are Still Relevant

In a digital world, why bother with analog? Well, sometimes it can still be the right solution. Take, for instance, the analog multiplier (see figure). At its simplest, it’s a circuit that leverages ...
