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 ...

The design and optimisation of analog-digital converters (ADCs) and digital-analog converters (DACs) play a pivotal role in modern electronic systems, bridging the gap between the analog real world ...

Engineers have reached a theoretical limit for efficiently converting analog data into digital bits in an emerging computer technology. The future of computing may be analog. The digital design of our ...

Photonic analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) represents a paradigm shift in signal processing by leveraging the inherent advantages of photonic devices to digitise analog signals. The approach aims to ...

The huge increase in variety and number of ways people interact with electronic communications systems is no secret. More cell phones, wireless computers, and other multifunction, media-rich products ...

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 ...

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 ...

When the phrase ‘analog to digital conversion’ is used, we tend to assume that the conversion is taking something continuous like sound or video and making it discrete so that digital computers can ...
