Setup and Hold Time Equations and Formulas - EDN
Aug 10, 2012 · Setup and hold time equations. Let’s first define clock-to-Q delay (T clock-to-Q).In a positive edge triggered flip-flop, input signal is captured on the positive edge of the clock and corresponding output is generated after a small delay called the T clock-to-Q.The flip flop can only do the job correctly if the data at its input does not change for …
Eye Diagram Basics: Reading, Analyzing and Applying
Dec 16, 2011 · How to read an eye diagram. A properly constructed eye should contain every possible bit sequence from simple alternate 1’s and 0’s to isolated 1’s after long runs of 0’s, and all other patterns that may show up weaknesses in the design.
A guide to using FETs for voltage controlled circuits, Part 1
Oct 13, 2017 · Editor’s note: I am so happy that there are still companies around that create precision, discrete transistors in our industry; Linear Integrated Systems is one of the best I have encountered. There are so many applications for the need to design circuitry using quality discrete components instead of integrated circuitry.
Why reference designs are more important than ever - EDN
Aug 20, 2020 · Figure 1 Today’s engineers are busier than ever, managing multiple projects on aggressive timelines. Source: Maxim Integrated By providing a complete, pre-tested circuit, a reference design saves substantial time and effort and minimizes design risks. Engineers can choose to copy a circuit, drop it into their CAD tool, and move directly to the PCB design stage or use it as a starting point ...
