How analog signal engineering is performed, in broad strokes. What are the component-selection considerations for new designs? What are VFAs and how are they used? Analog signal engineers specialize ...

Imagine some system as in Figure 1 with a forward signal path from “A” to “B” where signal delays through that path are too slow. Figure 1 A slow signal path If we do it right, the speedy feed forward ...

Characterizing SSBW for VFAs and FDAs. What's hiding in some fully differential amplifiers? Measuring response shape and harmonic distortion. Adding an input common-mode control loop to a legacy FDA.

We are nearing the discussion about selecting the total signal path to the ADC, but first we have a little more homework to do. Let’s talk about amplifier bandwidth, settling time, and clock rates of ...
