Message from the editors:
This pocket reference is intended as a valuable quick guide for often used board- and systemlevel design formulae. This collection of formulae is based on a combined 50 years of analog
board- and system-level expertise. Much of the material herein was referred to over the years
via a folder stuffed full of printouts. Those worn pages have been organized and the information is now available via this guide in a bound and hard-to-lose format!
Here is a brief overview of the key areas included:
• Key constants and conversions
• Discrete components
• AC and DC analog equations
• Op amp basic configurations
• OP amp bandwidth and stability
• Overview of sensors
• PCB trace R, L, C
• Wire L, R, C
• Binary, hex and decimal formats
• A/D and D/A conversions
We hope you find this collection of formulae as useful as we have. Please send any comments
and/or ideas you have for the next edition of the Analog Engineer's Pocket Reference to
artkay_timgreen@list.ti.com
Additional resources:
• Browse TI Precision Labs (www.ti.com/precisionlabs), a comprehensive online training
curriculum for analog engineers, which applies theory to real-world, hands-on examples.
• Search for complete board-and-system level circuits in the TI Designs – Precision
reference design library (www.ti.com/precisiondesigns).
• Read how-to blogs from TI precision analog experts at the Precision Hub
(www.ti.com/thehub).
• Find solutions, get help, share knowledge and solve problems with fellow engineers and
TI experts in the TI E2E™ Community (www.ti.com/e2e).

Parameter
Description
C
The nominal value of the capacitance
Table 11 lists standard capacitance values
ESR
Equivalent series resistance
Ideally this is zero
Ceramic capacitors have the best ESR (typically in milliohms). Tantalum Electrolytic have ESR in the hundreds of milliohms and Aluminum Electrolytic have ESR
in the ohms
ESL
Equivalent series inductance
Ideally this is zero
ESL ranges from 100 pH to 10 nH
Rp
Rp is a parallel leakage resistance (or insulation resistance)
Ideally this is infinite
This can range from tens of megaohms for some electrolytic capacitors to tens of
gigohms for ceramic
Voltage rating
The maximum voltage that can be applied to the capacitor
Exceeding this rating damages the capacitor
Voltage
coefficient
The change in capacitance with applied voltage in ppm/V
A high-voltage coefficient can introduce distortion
C0G capacitors have the lowest coefficient
The voltage coefficient is most important in applications that use capacitors in
signal processing such as filtering
Temperature
coefficient
The change in capacitance with across temperature in ppm/°C
Ideally, the temperature coefficient is zero
The maximum specified drift generally ranges from 10 to 100ppm/°C or greater
depending on the capacitor type (See Table 10 for details)

dB definitions
Bode plot basics
The frequency response for the magnitude or gain plot is the change in
voltage gain as frequency changes. This change is speciied on a Bode plot,
a plot of frequency versus voltage gain in dB (decibels). Bode plots are
usually plotted as semi-log plots with frequency on the x-axis, log scale,
and gain on the y-axis, linear scale. The other half of the frequency
response is the phase shift versus frequency and is plotted as frequency
versus degrees phase shift. Phase plots are usually plotted as semi-log
plots with frequency on the x-axis, log scale, and phase shift on the
y-axis, linear scale.

however, the test circuit will be the same for most cases.
Figure 37 shows the exception to the rule (multiple feedback).
C1 and L1 are components that facilitate SPICE analysis. They are large

RF, R1, Riso and CF = the op amp feedback network. Because there are two
paths for feedback, the loop is broken at the input.
C1 and L1 are components that facilitate SPICE analysis. They are large
(1TF, 1TH) to make the circuit closed loop for dc, but open loop for
ac frequencies. SPICE requires closed-loop operation at dc for
convergence.
CIN = the equivalent input capacitance taken from the op amp datasheet.
This capacitance normally does not need to be added because the
model includes it. However, when using this simulation method the
capacitance is isolated by the 1TH inductor.

Test tips
• Choose test frequency << fcl
• Small signal (Vpp ≤ 50 mV) ac output square wave (for example, 1 kHz)
• Adjust VIN amplitude to yield output ≤ 50 mVpp
• Worst cases is usually when Voffset = 0 (Largest RO, for IOUT = 0A).
• Use Voffset as desired to check all output operating points for stability
• Set scope = ac couple and expand vertical scope scale to look for
amount of overshoot, undershoot, and ringing on VOUT
• Use 1x attenuation scope probe on VOUT for best resolution

Find the current that will cause a 20°C temperature rise in a PCB trace
that is 0.1 inch wide and uses 2 oz/ft2 copper. (Assume traces on
outside of PCB.)
Answer
�
First translate 0.1 inch to 250 sq. mils. using bottom chart. Next ind

Diode voltage versus temperature
Figure 50 shows an example of the temperature drift for a diode.
Depending on the characteristics of the diode and the forward current
the slope and offset of this curve will change. However, typical diode drift
is about –2mV/°C. A forward drop of about 0.6V is typical for
room temperature.
0.6V is typical for room temperature.

of each component is not necessarily performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products
and applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should

Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component
or service voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and
deceptive business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related
requirements concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applicationsrelated information or support that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise

consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully

applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components,
TI’s goal is to help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional
safety standards and requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers
