When it comes to getting signals from an analog world into our computers, most of us don’t give much thought to how the hardware that does the job works. But as it turns out, there are a number of ...
The previous blog discussed how makers can select an A/D converter by understanding the application and how manufacturers optimize a part for that role. Now, what happens when an A/D fires up—how ...
Resolution is key in maximizing the performance of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). But here comes the rub: resolution of an ADC comes with a specific voltage reference. So, what if design ...
It’s a well-known conundrum that while most computers these days are digital in nature, almost nothing in nature is. Most things we encounter in the real world, whether it’s temperature, time, sound, ...
Teledyne e2v Semiconductors today announced new radiation test results for its EV10AS940, a 10-bit, 12.8 GSps, Ka-band-capable analog-to-digital converter, or ADC, developed for demanding space ...
Past columns have discussed sampling analog signals and analog-to-digital converter (ADC) technologies. In my experience, though, engineers who simply want to use ADCs rather than design with them, ...
Functionality of ADC/DACs, their performance characteristics, and how they have been improved. Advantages, disadvantages, and applications of various ADC/DAC architectures. How ADC/DACs are used in ...
Give a child on a swing a push, and it takes time for the "system" to return to equilibrium. The same effect occurs when a sensor signal changes quickly and passes through an anti-alias filter or a ...
