Buck Converter Concepts Part 3 of 3: Switching Regulators
Buck converters work by switching on and off at very high frequencies. Examine the schematic below. The circle on the left is a voltage source at say 12V. The rectangle on the right is a load that...
Buck Converter Concepts Part 2 of 3: LC Low Pass Filters
The LC low pass filter has just two components: an inductor and a capacitor. The inductor and capacitor are connected in series. The input to the filter is fed into the inductor, the output is...
Buck Converter Concepts Part 1 of 3: Frequency Content of Square Waves
Take a square wave with a duty cycle of 0<x<1, a frequency of f, and an amplitude of A. (The minimum value of this square wave is 0.) This signal can be decomposed into its frequency components by...
PRBS (Pseudo-Random Binary Sequence)
In my line of work as a semiconductor test engineer, pseudo-random binary/bit sequences are very useful. They're random-ish streams of bits that can be easily and reliably reproduced using very...
Verilog-AMS: A Personal Reference
In my current role as a design verification engineer, I’m learning Verilog-AMS. I decided to make some notes as I go as a reference for myself. There may be errors in this document; I’m not a...
