To address the cumbersome issues of RFID reader modules, IME researchers have integrated all the discrete components required for the RF section of the reader module onto a single piece of silicon. A ...

As the semiconductor industry pushes toward higher levels of integration, designers often turn to SoCs or use discrete components as solutions. Another option, though, is to adopt AFE-based ...

Most of us know that a quartz clock uses a higher frequency crystal oscillator and a chain of divider circuits to generate a 1 Hz pulse train. It’s usual to have a 32.768 kHz crystal and a 15-stage ...

If we had to pick one part to crown as the universal component in the world of analogue electronics, it would have to be the operational amplifier. The humble op-amp can be configured into so many ...
