If you asked me to nominate one electronic component as the workhorse inside test-and-measurement equipment, I’d nominate the analog-to-digital converter (ADC). ADCs convert voltages that represent ...

Confused by analog-to-digital converter specifications? Here's a primer to help you decipher them and make the right decisions for your project. Although manufacturers use common terms to describe ...

Acting as the gateway between the “real world” analog domain and digital world of 1s and 0s, data converters have become a critical element of modern signal processing. Over the past three decades, ...

Time-based analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) represent an innovative shift from traditional voltage-based conversion schemes by utilising time-domain techniques for digitising analog signals.

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 ...

ELECTRONIC DESIGN (ED): Is there a clear direction for power supplies for converters? Osgood: Analog functions are having to address the different voltage standards, dropping from 5 to 3 V and lower.

Designers of digital systems are familiar with implementing the 'leftovers' of their digital design by using FPGAs and CPLDs to glue together various processors, memories, and standard function ...
