Square-root-calculating circuits find wide use in instrumentation and measurement systems for such tasks as calculating the rms (root-mean-square) value of an arbitrary waveform, for example. Hence, ...

The previous blog looked at some of the structures in an analog circuit that are implied by the schematic, but not specified in detail. Key examples of this are well, taps and guard rings. These ...

After discussing the three transistor high-side buck p-mosfet driver (a recognised circuit and not mine) with some of EW’s sage commenters, I wondered once again if I could design something similar ...
