GNSS/GPS antenna design: FRPA or CRPA? - Planet Analog
Dec 22, 2023 · Global navigation satellite system (GNSS) technologies such as global positioning system (GPS), GLONASS, COMPASS/Beidou, Galileo, QZSS, IRNSS/NavIC, and others are increasingly crucial for terrestrial navigation, avionics, and naval navigation as well as timing for the vast array of communication networks dispersed around the globe.
Why 45 degrees? An overview of loop stability in operational …
Nov 26, 2024 · In operational amplifier stability, one rule of thumb is to allow 45 degrees of phase margin. Other design guidelines state that 60 degrees is best; still others say that 30 degrees is sufficient.
Matching in Analog Layout
May 20, 2014 · Analog circuits often use structures like differential pairs and current mirrors, where the matching of device characteristics such as the threshold voltage V t is important. Circuits using these structures with device threshold differences of a few millivolts or less can determine the performance and yield of a design.
MIPI’s A-PHY SerDes eyes in-vehicle launch in 2026
Oct 10, 2024 · MIPI’s A-PHY SerDes specification for high-speed image sensor and display connectivity in automotive applications is gaining traction as Valens Semiconductor announces that global OEMs have selected its A-PHY chipsets for integration into several vehicle models with a start of production in 2026.
Be aware of connector mating-cycle limits - Planet Analog
Mar 5, 2024 · It’s easy to not be aware of vendor-specified mating cycle numbers for connectors and see intermittent performance or complete failure.
Split a voltage rail using an op amp to create a virtual ground
Jun 5, 2024 · There are various reasons why you might need to split a voltage rail in your design. Perhaps the design contains a sensor or an IC that requires a bipolar supply, or you need to make the best use of the dynamic range of a bipolar-input analog-to-digital converter (ADC).
Using Deep N Wells in Analog Design
May 7, 2015 · In this case, the deep N well is formed by a high energy ion implantation to give peak impurity concentration deep enough to un-affect the NMOS device performance 1.Connection to the deep N well is formed by a N well ring that is connected to VDD.
