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 ...

The usual method of bringing analog inputs into a microprocessor is to use an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). Here are some tips for selecting such a part and calibrating it to fit your needs. In ...

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 ...

In previous installments of the AudioFile, we’ve talked about basic PCM audio, which encodes audio into a series of numbers that a computer can play or manipulate. We’ve also discussed the process of ...

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, ...

Since the input impedance is high and the output impedance is relatively low, CMOS has the advantage that one output can typically drive multiple CMOS inputs. Another advantage of CMOS is the low ...
