    Analog Dialogue

    Analog Dialogue, www.analog.com/analogdialogue, the technical magazine of Analog Devices, discusses products, applications, technology, and techniques for analog, digital, and mixed-signal processing. Published continuously for 45 years—starting in 1967—it is available in two versions. Monthly editions offer technical articles; timely information including recent application notes, new-product briefs, pre-release products, webinars and tutorials, and published articles; and potpourri, a universe of links to important and relevant information on the Analog Devices website, www.analog.com. Printable quarterly issues and ebook versions feature collections of monthly articles. For history buffs, the Analog Dialogue archive, www.analog.com/library/analogdialogue/archives.html, includes all regular editions, starting with Volume 1, Number 1 (1967), and three special anniversary issues.

      Power Management Design for PLLs

      Phase-locked loops are typically used to provide local oscillators in radio receivers and transmitters, for clock-signal distribution and noise reduction, and as the clock source for high-speed A/D and D/A converters. As PLL noise decreases, the impact of power supply noise increases, and can even limit noise performance in some cases. This article considers basic PLLs and the power-management requirements for each PLL building block.

      Insight into digiPOT Specifications and Architecture Enhances AC Performance

      Digital potentiometers provide a convenient way to adjust the output of sensors, power supplies, or other devices that require calibration. Digital setting avoids problems associated with mechanical pots, such as physical size, mechanical wear out, wiper contamination, resistance drift, and sensitivity to environmental effects—and eliminates layout inflexibility resulting from the need for access.

      Differential Interfaces Improve Performance in RF Transceiver Designs

      Traditional IF and RF transceivers use 50-Ω single-ended interfaces, with interconnected circuits all seeing matching input and output impedances. In modern transceiver designs, differential interfaces provide better performance, but their implementation requires designers to confront impedance matching, common-mode voltage matching, and difficult gain calculations. This article offers some assistance.

      How to Apply DC-to-DC Step-Up (Boost) Regulators Successfully

      Battery-powered systems often stack cells in series to achieve higher voltages, but this is not always possible due to a lack of space. Switching converters use an inductor’s magnetic field to alternately store energy and release it to the load at a different voltage. With low losses they are a good choice for high efficiency. Boost, or step-up converters—covered here—provide higher voltage.

      System Demonstration Platform Facilitates Quick Prototyping and Evaluation

      System design can be complex, but the ability to prototype and quickly demonstrate subsections of the solution can simplify the process and reduce the risks faced by designers. With the System Demonstration Platform (SDP), system designers can reuse central elements, allowing subsections of their designs to be evaluated and demonstrated prior to the final system implementation.

      Simple Ambient Light Sensor Circuit

      Ambient light is increasingly considered as a source for harvesting energy to power heartbeat monitors, bathroom fixtures, remote weather sensors, and other low-power devices. At the heart of an energy-harvesting system is the ability to measure ambient light accurately. This design idea describes a simple, cost-effective circuit that provides a voltage proportional to the intensity of ambient light.

      Power Management Design for PLLs

      By Austin Harney and Grzegorz Wawrzola

      Abstract

      The phase-locked loop (PLL) is a fundamental building block of modern communication systems. PLLs are typically used to provide the local-oscillator (LO) function in a radio receiver or transmitter; they are also used for clock-signal distribution and noise reduction—and, increasingly, as the clock
