In the consumer electronics world, knowing the difference between root mean square (RMS) and peak power ratings can make or break the performance and clarity of an audio system. In short, RMS power is ...

This article was originally fairly superficial and frivolous, but has been expanded (a little) to explain the matter better. Amplifier power ratings are usually honest in Hi-Fi equipment, but become ...

Not at all. Have an amp this way is actually a good thing. You will be able to turn the gain settings down, have less distortion and avoid clipping the amp.

One of the most common challenges that board- and system-level engineers face in designing an amplifier driver for a precision successive approximation register (SAR) is optimizing the effective ...
