As much as it’s an analog world, it is often being chopped up into digital pieces. As communications go digital and the computing power increases, signals are being transformed into digital words that ...

Back in the day where the microprocessor was our standard building block, we tended to concentrate on computation and processing of data and not so much on I/O. Simply put there were a lot of things ...

(Editor's Note: There are links to the previous parts of this series at the end, below the author's biography.) Many circuit designs have been tried in the development of analog-to-digital converters ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Today, almost every electronic product contains an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). When designing a new product, one ...

All analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) have a certain amount ofinput-referred noise. In most cases,less input noise is better. There are some cases, however, where inputnoise can actually be helpful ...

Today's analog system designers face many design challenges. Not only do designers need to select the proper integrated-circuit components, but they also must accurately predict the interactions of ...

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 ...
