Cadence Design Systems has announced the availability of the Cadence Virtuoso Accelerated Parallel Simulator (APS), its next-generation circuit simulator, which constitutes a key part of the Cadence ...

Electric circuits often consist of several elements, some combined in series and others in parallel. The methods used to analyze series and parallel circuits can be combined to analyze these ...

A parallel circuit is way of connecting components on separate branches, so the current can take different routes around the circuit. The current is different in different parts of a parallel circuit.

A previous EDN article proposed a technique for modifying active-RC-filter-design equations to use exact standard-component values (Reference 1).The main idea was to determine standard-component-value ...

Linear constantcurrent drivers, for instance, offer low EMI, low cost, and use only a few components. Many designers favor them for low-current applications where power loss is a minor concern. If ...

As you will probably already know if you are engaged in electronics design at some level, a capacitor is a passive device ...

It’s often necessary to connect point-of- load (POL) dc/dc power supply modules in parallel to get a sufficiently high-current output for applications such as test instruments, blade servers, and so ...

Improving density in circuit design is an ongoing challenge. One solution is to reconsider circuit layouts from the perspective of bandwidth optimization.
