What this episode covers

Tom Anderson, an engineer at Keysight Technologies, discusses the practical realities of embedded hardware for new college graduates, focusing on the nuances of floating I/O pins, tri-state outputs, and latch-up failure modes. He explains the behavior of inductors in switching power supplies and relays, the importance of pull-up/pull-down resistors, and the differences between ADC types, sampling rates, and bandwidth. Anderson advocates for learning from vintage technical literature, such as TubeBooks.org and 'The Art of Electronics,' and shares his methodology for analog circuit design using symbolic algebra and system-level constraints.

    An Interview with Kendall Castor-Perry

    Dave Jones, known as the 'Filter Wizard' and former audio specialist at Burr-Brown and Cypress, discusses the evolution of analog filtering from discrete components to integrated circuits. He explains how the shift to Delta-Sigma ADCs reduced the need for external analog filters in audio, while high-speed digital interfaces have reintroduced analog design challenges like signal integrity and trace roughness. Jones emphasizes that power supply quality, clock jitter, and physical PCB layout are critical factors in high-performance design, often overlooked by engineers who rely solely on simulation. He advocates for rigorous system-level thinking and understanding the physics of signals rather than just applying empirical fixes like adding capacitors.

    An Interview with Hank Zumbahlen - Zoppa Zumbahlen Zateticism

    Hank Zumbahlen, an application engineer at Analog Devices, discusses the critical importance of grounding, power supply decoupling, and PCB layout in analog design. He explains how digital return currents and high-frequency effects can corrupt sensitive analog signals, emphasizing the need to separate analog and digital grounds and manage impedance. The conversation covers specific technologies like MEMS accelerometers, sigma-delta ADCs, and digital isolators, highlighting how integration and physical layout impact performance. Zumbahlen also shares anecdotes about testing high-power regulators and designing audio DACs, stressing that understanding the underlying physics is essential even with highly integrated chips.
