Op amps excel at providing many useful and clever solutions to routine or complicated circuit functions. A summing circuit is a perfect example. A summing circuit is typically used in applications ...

I had met Professor Franco when I attended, for the first time, the Analog Aficionados dinner which Jim Williams had as an annual event in California. I was immediately drawn to him as I saw him ...

Switching has almost always meant “hard" switching, which is simple but comes with all kinds of electrical and thermal ...

Cells navigate environments, communicate and build complex patterns by initiating gene expression in response to specific signals. Engineers seek to harness this capability to program cells to perform ...

This series of articles discusses the different steps of PCB development from the basics of creating a design schematic with specific requirements, to finalizing a board and preparing it for ...

Sharma, Fu, and Ansari et al. developed a tool for converting plain-text instructions into photonic circuit designs with the ...

All circuits, analog or digital, have characteristics dependent on the values of their component parts. Invariably, these parts are non-ideal in many ways. Even their most fundamental characteristics, ...

Synthetic gene circuits are designed to implement novel biologic function, including cellular logic, dynamics and complex cellular and multicellular behaviours. A decade after emerging as a discipline ...
