Most operational amplifiers (op amps) have input and output electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection diodes, as shown in Figure 1. These diodes are designed for protection from ESD damage during ...

A subject rarely found in circuit design textbooks is the matter of nonlinear junction capacitance, especially reverse-bias junction capacitance, also called depletion capacitance. When it is ...

Analog input protection for high performance signal chains is often a pain point for system designers. There is typically a significant trade-off between analog performance (leakage, on resistance, ...

Power systems dedicated to next-generation high-performance blade servers, datacenters, storage and communication infrastructure systems are a group that “feels the need--the need for speed!” ...
