This application note discusses phase frequency detector characteristics that affect phase-locked loop (PLL) dead band and jitter performance. In PLLs that employ charge pump loop filter designs the ...

Earlier this year, new 3D printers that could continuously output models thanks to a conveyor belt platform or constantly refreshed build plates came to light. The Loop 3D printer from Turkey's ...

…which would take a pulse-width-modulated waveform at any frequency, and produce a signal with exactly the same mark/space ratio, but at a nominated frequency (see ‘Why might this be useful?’ below).

Loop is a desktop filament maker designed to recycle leftover plastic and failed 3D prints into reusable, high-quality filament. It offers a quick, efficient, and sustainable solution for 3D printing ...

I have always had a soft spot for phase-locked loops – at least, I have since I first found out what they were. What I like about them is that they servo into the best answer for a given situation – ...

A high-speed DDR2, DDR2/3, or DDR3 DRAM interface for off-chip memory provides a powerful tool to meet the high-performance demands of new electronic products. However, with advancements come new ...
