Few methods for analog to digital conversion are more “mature” than the classic combination of a voltage-to-frequency converter (VFC) with a counter. VFC digitization is naturally integrating, so good ...

The two most common forms of control in dc/dc switching power converters are CM (current-mode) and VM (voltage-mode) control. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages. CM control provides ...

Voltage comparators began appearing in single-chip microcontrollers (MCUs) in the late 1990s. At the time, the change was viewed as a simple cost reduction. Comparators required less silicon, while ...
