There have been many different ideas presented for increasing the acoustic output of a piezo buzzer or ultrasonic transducer. Most of them involve rather complicated circuitry that drives up the total ...

Chop the noise gain to measure an op amp’s real-time offset voltage introduces a new type of chopping. “Chopping the noise gain” is a simple way to measure the offset voltage in real time, so that you ...

Without careful design, it is easy to dissipate as much energy in the conversion circuit as gets delivered to the load. The dc/dc conversion method of choice for moderate power output is often a ...

The accompanying circuit maintains power to the load regardless of momentary shorts or opens in the supply voltage. The low-current overvoltage-protection IC (MAX6495) also protects the load against ...
