There are several aspects of audio converter design that are generally not well understood but have a dramatic impact on performance, both measurable and audible. Audio converter IC manufacturers ...

Although the ubiquitous LM386 IC was designed to be used as an audio amplifier, it has a number of undocumented characteristics that can be exploited to create simple radio receiver circuits that ...

A subject rarely found in circuit design textbooks is the matter of nonlinear junction capacitance, especially reverse-bias junction capacitance, also called depletion capacitance. When it is ...

The field of wave digital modeling has emerged as a robust framework for simulating nonlinear audio circuits with high fidelity, bridging the gap between analogue intricacies and digital efficiency.

In this lesson, students build two circuits and explore how transistors function. When Bell Labs introduced the transistor in June of 1948, a spokesman proudly announced "This cylindrical object . . .
