Thermal protection is very important in many power systems. Figure 1 shows a low-cost thermal-protection circuit based on the LTC1998, a 6-pin SOT-23 comparator for battery monitoring. This circuit ...

A digital hysteresis circuit provides an excellent example of this technique because it turned an otherwise impossible customer request into a cost-effective product that is in production today.

Heat release during cycling of battery half-cells is investigated by a combination of electrochemical methods and isothermal micro-calorimetry with special emphasis on Li- and Mn-rich NCM cathode ...

A well-known window comparator circuit uses a single op amp and has a hysteresis window that depends on R3 and the reference voltage’s input resistance, RIn (Fig. 1). The value of RIn is: ...

In simple terms, a memristor “remembers” the amount of charge that has flowed through it and as a result changes its resistance. The effect was predicted in 1971 by electronics engineer Leon Chua, but ...

Designers seeking a quick and easy frequency source often use a relaxation oscillator (Fig. 1) based on digital gates such as the 74HC14 inverter with hysteresis. The oscillator is also useful in ...

Since analog circuits refuse to obey Moore's Law, logic designers are taking matters into their own hands to take full advantage of CMOS process shrinks. By replacing analog functions with digital ...
