If you want to replicate or design new pedal effects, you will need the right tools, the right design flows, the right components, some circuit know-how, and a little creativity.

Inadequate grounding techniques in high-speed ADC and mixed-signal circuits and systems can lead to excessive noise when digital return (ground) currents find their way into analog circuit areas.

In the first of a multi-part series on how to design a custom chip for under $1,000, our Analog Editor gets you started with a Magnificent 7 list of textbooks.

The process of circuit design can cover systems ranging from national power grids all the way down to the individual transistors within an integrated circuit. For simple circuits the design ...

Circuits that carry femtoamperes of current have many subtleties that you wouldn’t normally consider in the design and layout of conventional circuitry. If you overlook these subtleties, the circuit ...

Good circuit design and testing are crucial to the stability of networks and systems. The open-source KiCad has been helping engineers put together and test their experimental printed circuit ...

Selective coordination generally describes the design of an electrical system in which the upstream protective device (fuse or circuit breaker) nearest to the system fault clears the fault without ...

Points of Interest : Circuit Canvas simplifies the creation of illustrated wiring diagrams. It is designed to be easy to use and fast, allowing users to create diagrams in less than a minute. The ...

Accountants and MBAs use spreadsheets to play “what if” scenarios with business and financial data. Can you do the same thing with electronic circuits? The answer–perhaps not surp… ...
