Discrete audio amplifier basics - Part 1: Bipolar junction transistor circuits
Part 1 of an excerpt from the book "Audio Engineering: Know it All" covers the basics of bipolar junction transistors and looks at some typical BJT audio circuit configurations.
Network Engineering for Audio Engineers - Part 4: QoS and IP/Ethernet addresses
The fourth and final excerpt from the book "Audio Over IP" covers bandwidth, dropped packets, delay and jitter, as well as IP and Ethernet addresses, and network diagrams.
Improved user experiences are possible with enhanced FM radio data system (RDS) reception
Understand this FM broadcast "add-on", factors influencing RDS performance, and why it is important to improve the receiver performance.
Development of a Spice Op-Amp Macro-Model (Part 2 of 2)
Understand how a model is developed and validated
Power Tip 21: Watch That Capacitor RMS Ripple Current Rating!
Understand how RMS ripple current can affect power-supply operation, and what to do about it.
Oversampling with averaging to increase ADC resolution
How an MCU can extend the resolution/accuracy of an ADC by delivering an extra bit or two.
Network Engineering for Audio Engineers - Part 3: Wide area networks (WANs) and the Internet
Part 3 of an excerpt from the book "Audio Over IP" looks at audio-over-IP on private wide area networks (WANs) and the Internet, and includes discussion of VPNs, DNS, IP broadcast/multicast, firewalls and NATs.
Let's go passive: giving these components their due
Passive components are still critical in circuits, nowhere more so than in power-supply designs; here are some popular passive-centric articles which have appeared at this site
Development of a Spice Op-Amp Macro-Model (Part 1 of 2)
Understand how a model is developed and validated
Leveraging FPGA and CPLD digital logic to implement analog to digital converters
This article will explain the implementation of both a low frequency (DC to 1K Hz) and higher frequency (up to 50K Hz) ADC using reference designs and demo boards available from Lattice Semiconductor.
Power Trip: Dealing with kVA issues, power factor, and smaller boost vs. buck regulators
Understand the implications of "big power" and the key load-limit difference between boost- and buck-regulator topologies
Network Engineering for Audio Engineers - Part 2: Local area networks
Part 2 of an excerpt from the book "Audio Over IP" focuses on AoIP contained within a LAN, and examines Ethernet communication types, traffic prioritization and the role of TCP and IGMP.
