Circuit Studies, Living Analog, Part 5

A smorgasbord of analog treats await you as our resident Analog Guru, John Dunn, touches upon a variety of topics taken from his popular Living Analog blog published by the EDN Network on EDN.com.

Topics include:

• An examination of the switchmode power converter within a cell phone charger

• A major system design blunder regarding the "Big Allis" power utility generator in New York City

• Magnetron generation of microwaves

• Using only an odd number of signal inversions in a feedback system

• Making a differential amplifier using only one op-amp

• A junior high school shop project that could have killed a student

Attention Professional Engineers: An application for .2 CEU credits has been applied for and has been approved. There will be no charge for these credits.

6:30 PM: Network with others over delicious food and soft drinks. We will be having deli heroes: American, Italian and Grilled Vegetable plus coleslaw, macaroni and potato salads. So, bring your appetite.
