Abstract: It is incredible how many programmable logic controls (PLCs) around us make our modern life possible and pleasant.Machines in our homes heat and cool our air and water, as well as preserve and cook our food. This tutorial explains the importanceof PLCs, and describes how to choose component parts using the parametric tools on the Maxim's website.A similar version of this article was published February 29, 2012 in John Day's Automotive Electronic News.

Abstract: A laser module designer can use a fixed resistor, mechanical pot, digital pot, or a digital-to-analogconverter (DAC) to control the laser driver's modulation and bias currents. The advantages of a programmablemethod (POT or DAC) are that the manufacturing process can be automated and digital control can be applied(e.g., to compensate for temperature). Using POTs can be a more simple approach than a DAC. There can be aslight cost advantage to using a POT, but this is usually not significant relative to other pieces of the design.Using a DAC can offer advantages, including improved linearity (translating to ease of software implementationand ability to hit the required accuracy), increased board density, a wider range of resolutions, a betteroptimization range, ease of use with a negative voltage laser driver, and unit-to-unit consistency

Abstract: IC switches and multiplexers are proliferating, thanks to near-continual progress in lowering the supply voltage,incorporating fault-protected inputs, clamping the output voltage, and reducing the switch resistances. The latest of these advancesis the inclusion of precision resistors to allow two-point calibration of gain and offset in precision data-acquisition systems.

Abstract: This tutorial discusses methods for digitally adjusting the output voltage of a DC-DC converter. The digital adjustmentmethods are with a digital-to-analog converter (DAC), a trim pot (digital potentiometer), and PWM output of a microprocessor.Each method is assessed and several DACs and digital potentiometers presented.

Abstract: Using a DAC and a microprocessor supervisor, the system safety can be improved in industrial controllers, programmablelogiccontrollers (PLC), and data-acquisition systems. The analog output is set to zero-scale (or pin-programmable midscale) when amicroprocessor failure, optocoupler failure, or undervoltage condition occurs. A simple application is shown on how to implement thisfunction.

Abstract: Transimpedance amplifiers (TIAs) are widely used to translate the current output of sensors like photodiode-to-voltagesignals, since several circuits and instruments can only accept voltage input. An operational amplifier with a feedback resistor fromoutput to the inverting input is the most straightforward implementation of such a TIA. However, even this simple TIA circuit requirescareful trade-offs among noise gain, offset voltage, bandwidth, and stability. Clearly stability in a TIA is essential for good, reliableperformance. This application note explains the empirical calculations for assessing stability and then shows how to fine-tune theselection of the feedback phase-compensation capacitor.

Construction Strategy of ESD Protection CircuitAbstract： The principles used to construct ESD protection on circuits and the basic conceptions of ESD protection design are presented.Key words：ESD protection/On circuit, ESD design window, ESD current path1 引言静电放电（ESD，Electrostatic Discharge）给电子器件环境会带来破坏性的后果。它是造成集成电路失效的主要原因之一。随着集成电路工艺不断发展，互补金属氧化物半导体（CMOS，Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor）的特征尺寸不断缩小，金属氧化物半导体(MOS, Metal-Oxide Semiconductor)的栅氧厚度越来越薄，MOS 管能承受的电流和电压也越来越小，因此要进一步优化电路的抗ESD 性能，需要从全芯片ESD 保护结构的设计来进行考虑。

Abstract: Using a wafer-level package (WLP) can reduce the overall size and cost of your solution.However when using a WLP IC, the printed circuit board (PCB) layout can become more complex and, ifnot carefully planned, result in an unreliable design. This article presents some PCB designconsiderations and general recommendations for choosing a 0.4mm- or 0.5mm-pitch WLP for yourapplication.
