Measurements Rate New SMT Low-Voltage JFETs Under Consistent Conditions - An Update Using Modern JFETs

In 2013, Dimitri Danyuk wrote an article that presented apples-to-apples test results for noise densities for several low-noise discrete, SMT, and n-JFETs. In this follow-up article, Danyuk brings us new measurements, updating his design note with measurements of JFET components that appeared more recently on the market. The tests used the same operating conditions so that designers can make a fair comparison for their applications. This article was originally published in audioXpress, December 2018.

A High Performance Microphone Preamp

This article by Ron Tipton details the design and construction of the TDL Model 401 high-performance microphone preamp, using a differential input stage that used compound transistor pairs with circuit resistance values, computer optimized for very low output noise. This is a great example of Ron Tipton's TDL Technology projects, which he managed from his home base in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Sadly, the audioXpress community lost one of its most esteemed and prolific writers. There's no better way to pay tribute to Ron than revisit some of these projects.

ON Semiconductor Acquires Fairchild Semiconductor

It’s hard to keep track how semiconductor companies evolve given the pace of mergers, spin-offs and acquisitions. ON Semiconductor, a relatively young player in the industry but increasingly crucial for the audio industry, announced it will acquire one of the most iconic companies, Fairchild Semiconductor, for $2.4 Billion in Cash. The acquisition creates the global leader in the power semiconductor market, they say.
