A Compact Algorithm using the ADXL202 Duty Cycle Output -  AN-603 Analog Devices Application Notes  (app note added 2/06)
A primer on binary-arithmetic rounding -  01/21/99 Issue of EDN  As digital communications and data compression/decompression proliferate, signal-processing functions grow in importance. Whether you’re dealing with hard-wired logic or programmable engines, an understanding of binary-arithmetic rounding.... [Design Idea by Tom Balph, Motorola SPS, Tempe, AZ]
Algorithm Converts Random Variables to Normal -  05/11/95 EDN-Design Ideas  Although normally distributed random variables are essential for many engineering analyses, software packages usually provide only a function that generates uniformly distributed random samples over the range [0,1]. However, a simple algorithm allows you to convert the uniformly distributed samples into normally distributed samples to a very good approximation....

Algorithm Evaluates Complex Fractions  -  08/03/95 EDN-Design Ideas  The following algorithm uses rectangular-to-polar conversion to evaluate a complex fraction (one that includes imaginary numbers]. The algorithm is most convenient when you can perform  rectangular-to-polar-coordinate and polar-to-rectangular-coordinate conversions using a calculator such an HP 11C. You can reduce all  necessary.... [Design Idea by Paul Johnson, Hewlett-Packard, Escondido, CA]
Algorithm Extracts Cube Root -  15-Jan-98 Issue of EDN  The C routine in Listing 1  generates the cube root of either a positive or a negative number. The number can range from a small fraction to greater than 1 billion.....This File contains several Design Ideas, please scoll to this one.... [Design Idea by JOHN T HANNON JR, PHILIPS CONSUMER ELECTRONICS CORP, KNOXVILLE, TN]
Algorithm extracts roots of decimal numbers. -  04/29/99 Issue of EDN  "Algorithm extracts cube root" (EDN, Jan 15, 98, pg 100]covers only  one-third power (cube root]. In contrast,  C routine in Listing 1 calculates  Kth root (X1/K]of positive decimal numbers X. Both K and X can vary widely.....Page includes several designs.  Scroll to find this one.... [Design Idea by Frank Vitaljic, Bellingham, WA]
Algorithm keeps data safe -  21-Jan-10 Issue of EDN  Prevent data loss against power blackouts and other interruptions.... [Design Idea by Luis G Uribe C, Caracas, Venezuela]
Algorithm Nulls DC Offsets in DSP -  09/15/94 EDN-Design Ideas   Figure only EDN migrating links. This link is not verified.  Google the "title" EDN for new link.

Algorithm Tests for Point Location -  08/03/00 EDN-Design Ideas  A recent software project approximated the phase-space trajectory (also known as a strange attractor) of a certain dynamic system by using several nonoverlapping triangles. It became necessary to determine whether particular operating points were on or off that attractor. Determining whether a circle or a rectangle contains a point is trivial.... [Design Idea by Lawrence Arendt, Manitoba HVDC Research Centre, Winnipeg, Canada]
Algorithm Transforms Filter Coefficients -  01/21/99 EDN-Design Ideas  To synsize infinite-impulse-response (IIR]-filter functions, expressed as H(z], you commonly use analog prototype-filter functions, expressed as H(s], using  bilinear-z transform.  This operation entails some algebraic complexity in calculating  filter coefficients. The simple algorithm shown here transforms  prototype-filter coefficients (W0, W1, W2]to  IIR digital-filter coefficients (U0, U1, U2]. These coefficients transform from.... [Design Idea by Frank Vitaljic, Bellingham, WA]
Algorithm Yields Precise Bessel Function -  11/09/95 EDN-Design Ideas  You frequently need to determine the Bessel function of the first kind, Jn(x), for the analysis of modulated and complex waveforms. Such analyses could include, for example, routine verification of transmitter phase- or frequency-modulation indices, by the measurement of the signal-suppression terms relative to an unmodulated-carrier reference level. Another example is the evaluation of communication-channel performance through sophisticated computer simulations....
