Twisted-pair wiring is a wiring technique that usually used for in-building data communication. Compared to conventional coaxial-cable, this technique offers substantial cost saving, for video transmission on the same medium. A differential driver is used to launching a baseband camera signal to twisted pair. Twisted pair exhibits a roll-off characteristic that need equalization to [...]

TDA 1072AT is a special purpose integrated circuit for AM radio receiver from Philips Semiconductors. The integrated circuit is designed for mains-fed home receivers and car radios. The voltage-controlled oscillator provides signals with extremely low distortion and high spectral purity over the whole frequency range even when tuning with variable capacitance diodes. RF radiation and [...]

This is a circuit that transmits temperature data over an IR link and it allows the isolation of temperature sensor. It is a good solution of obtaining temperature readings from points at potentials a few tens of volts from ground by linking a temperature probe only by an IR connection to the readout point. This [...]
