Flashing LED Advertising Badge #1 - I have seen numerous flashing light badges at trade shows and conventions. They are often handed out as gifts to promote some business. The devices often use inefficient circuits, which cause the battery power source to be quickly depleted . . . Hobby Circuit designed by David Johnson P.E.-March, 2002 Follow the Debouncing flip-flops - 02/17/00 EDN Design Ideas: During a recent development effort, we could not find literature detailing how to debounce an spst momentary switch using only logic (no capacitors, Schmitt triggers, or other components). Our application placed the spst switches several feet from the logic board, and both noisy switches and line transients caused false triggers. Design by Ray Scott

Low-Distortion Discrete Buffer Amplifier Handles Bipolar Signals - 11/30/12 EDN Design Ideas: Sometimes, the need arises for a low-distortion buffer amplifier capable of handling bipolar signals. Sometimes, the need arises for a low-distortion buffer amplifier capable of handling bipolar signals. You can use an op amp or integrated buffer for these applications, but for more flexibility, a discrete design may prove useful. Applications include buffering the input of an ADC or the output of a DAC, or an audio line driver. Design by Peter Demchenko, Vilnius, Lithuania
Low-Noise (1.5nV/√Hz) fully differential 1.6GHz buffer drives 50Ohm load - 08/19/12 EDN Product Brief The LTC6417 from is a fully differential buffer amplifier with only 1.5nV/√Hz output-referred noise. The LTC6417 from is a fully differential buffer amplifier with only 1.5nV/√Hz output-referred noise. The LTC6417 is capable of driving a differential 50Ohm load and is optimized for driving 14- and 16-bit pipeline ADCs. It can be DC- or AC-coupled at its inputs, and achieves excellent distortion performance for signals up to and beyond 600MHz. At 140MHz, OiP3 is 46dBm, and HD3 is -69dBc with 2.4 VP-P output swing into a 50Ohm load. Design by LTC6417 from Linear Technology
