    Class D Amp power supply 'pumping'?

    Is this pumping the result of large transient current flow through power supply resistance? Isn't that same for full or half bridge? https://www.analog.com/library/analogDialogue/archives/40-06/class_d.html The power supply voltage buses of half-bridge circuits can be “pumped” beyond their...

    Slope change detector circuit

    I want to build a slope change/increase detector to detect increase of voltage slope, and generate a notification signal when the increase happens. Any ideas of reference I should look at? Thanks!

    HSPICE error: reference not found

    Hi all, I run into an error in hspice saying that my reference is not found. But i included the model file and the simulation log also shows the model file is included. Also, the model didn't set lmax/min or wmax/min...and W/L of 100u/.35u isn't really an outrageous number... Please help...

    common mode input voltage of amplifier

    Yes. The differential signal comes from a sensor and needs to be amplified. The common mode voltage coming out of the sensor is very low. In single supply amplifier this would be a problem. In dual supply the common mode input range covers 0 V common mode. So my question is how to give the...

    cellphone power consumption

    This is one power consumption breakdown years ago. It has PA current ~200mA which is close to the number I calculated as you suggested. I checked iphone spec, they listed talk time 7 hours, wifi 10 hours and 3G 6 hours. So I assume wifi or 3G use power amplifier and are driven directly by...

    common mode input voltage of amplifier

    Where does this come from ? How do I get this in real design? suppose I have a small sine voltage, how do I add common mode voltage to that so my amplifier can actually operate. Can I use a voltage divider to get a dc voltage down to like 0.6V and connect to both input of op amp as common mode...

    How to convert ~mV dc voltage to ~3V voltage?

    The only commercial DC/DC converter with startup at mV I can find is LTC3108 by linear technology (attached). @Page 8, looks like they used second coil in transformer and a capacitor to form an oscillator to startup. Their design has low conversion efficiency (<50%). Is that because of low...

    How to convert ~mV dc voltage to ~3V voltage?

    Em...I know in-amp needs power to operate. This dc-dc conversion is just another different question...haha ---------- Post added at 22:10 ---------- Previous post was at 22:04 ---------- Yes, precision low drift low noise OpA can amplify dc voltage. I understand that. But I'm talking...

    How to convert ~mV dc voltage to ~3V voltage?

    commercial dc-dc converters normally have input range ~1 to 2V. Is it possible to convert a small voltage into a ~3V voltage in applications like wireless sensor?

    instrumentation amplifier question

    Can instrumentation amplifier amplify a very low DC voltage? For example, if input is 10mV, instrumentation amplifier gain is 100, is the output 1V DC voltage?

    Precision DC voltage measuring circuit?

    What are typical topologies of dc voltage (~mV) measuring circuit? I'm clueless on this subject and can't find anything related on the forum. Any help or recommendations of references are appreciated!
