Simple Algorithm Nulls DC Offsets in DSP -  09/15/94 EDN-Design Ideas:....[Design Idea added 11/05] EDN migrating links. This link is not verified.  Google the "title" EDN for new link.
Simple algorithm transforms filter coefficients -  01/21/99 Issue of EDN  To synthesize infinite-impulse-response (IIR]-filter functions, expressed as H(z], you commonly use analog prototype-filter functions, expressed as H(s], using the bilinear-z transform.  This operation entails some algebraic complexity in calculating the filter coefficients. The simple algorithm shown here transforms the prototype-filter coefficients (W0, W1, W2]to the IIR digital-filter coefficients (U0, U1, U2]. These coefficients transform from....Page includes several designs.  Scroll to find this one.... [Design Idea by Frank Vitaljic, Bellingham, WA]
Single Stage Gives Logarithmic Gain Steps  -  03-Mar-94 Issue of EDN-Design Ideas  By placing a variable component in the positive feedback loop of an op amp; you can vary the gain of the stage logarithmically with respect to a linear resistance or conductance.… [Design Idea by Allen Windhorn, Reliance Electric, North Mankato, MN]
Software snippet provides improved subset-sum algorithm -  25-Sep-03 Issue of EDN  The subset-sum problem is one of the most frequently occurring NP (nondeterministic, polynomial-time]-complete] problems. It asks whether a subset of numbers in a set of positive integers adds up exactly to a given value. A relaxed version of the problem tries to identify a subset of numbers that adds up to a maximum value no greater than a given value.... [Design Idea by Ivan Basov, Brandeis University, Waltham, MA]
State of the Art Characterization of Optical Components for Dwdm Applications -  Aligent App Note  (app note added 04/05/06)
Theory & Applications of Logarithmic Amplifiers -  National Semiconductor Application Note 24-Feb-1999 (app note added 4/02)
Transient Analysis -  One of the most complex and intriguing capabilities of the SPICE algorithm is the Transient Analysis. How do we take a collection of resistive and energy-storage components, then find its time response to an arbitrary input waveform? Yes, you could formulate and solve the differential equations to get the response versus time, but SPICE is not a differential equation solver....(spice design added 02/09)
Using the ADXL202/ADXL210 with the Parallax BASIC Stamp Module® to Speed Algorithm Development -  AN-596 Analog Devices Application Notes  (app note added 6/06)
Versatile power supply load uses light bulbs -  7-Feb-02 Issue of EDN  Improvising loads for bench-testing and designing power supplies is often a frustrating and sometimes hazardous experience. When you push large power resistors to their limit, they tend to burn benches and melt solder connections. Many electronic loads are on the market but are usually expensive and of laboratory-type precision and often represent overkill for the average designer.... [Design Idea by William Sloot, Computron Display Systems, Mount Prospect, IL]
White LED driver provides 64 step logarithmic dimming -  10-Jun-04 Issue of EDN  The circuit of Figure 1 is designed for portable-power applications that require white LEDs with adjustable, logarithmic dimming levels. The circuit drives as many as four white LEDs from a 3.3V source and adjusts the total LED current from 1 to 106 mA in 64 steps of 1 dB each. The driver is a charge pump that mirrors the current ISET (sourced from IC3's SET terminal] to produce a current o.... [Design Idea by William Hadden, Maxim Integrated Products, Sunnyvale, CA]
