Phone Bill Calculator - The main idea is to calculate phone bill, so we want to find time taken by each call I make, and by knowing the bill of the minute, we can calculate the whole phone bill for any period. ….(added 05/08)
PIC16C5x/PIC16Cxx Utility Math Routines - Microchip Application Note Published 26-Aug-97....[App Note]
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 is important in getting correct and consistent results. Before we discuss rounding, consider a binary number (Figure 1]....Page includes several designs.  Scroll to find this one....[Design Idea by Tom Balph, Motorola SPS, Tempe, AZ]
 
Reference stabilizes exponential current - 25-Oct-01 Issue of EDN  In an antilog converter, the difference between the base voltages of two transistors sets the ratio of their collector currents  The use of matched transistors balances the first-order temperature coefficient but leaves a temperature-dependent gain term, q/kT. Classic antilog circuits use a thermistor in the drive circuitry to correct this temperature dependency....[Design Idea by Tom Napier, North Wales, PA]
Resistance Calculator - ….(design added 06/09)
Take a look inside the SPICE engine.   How it works... - .-  ....(spice design added 02/09)
 

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)
Use derivatives to catch RF calibration errors - 05/27/99 EDN-Design Ideas....any RF-system calibrations involve checking for minimum power available or removing system offsets. One example is the checking of an RF source’s output power…PDF has several circuits, please scroll to find this one…. [Design Idea by Steven C Hageman, Hewlett-Packard Co, Santa Rosa, CA]
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]
