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 ...

We are now more than a decade intothe 21st century, and on an ever-acceleratingfast track to technologicalinnovation in electronics.The transistor and progression intothe IC, or microchip, lit the ...

Level-crossing analog-to-digital converters (LC-ADCs) represent an innovative approach to signal digitisation that departs from conventional uniform sampling. Instead of capturing signals at fixed ...

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 ADAS1128 current-to-digital converter chip from Analog Devices enables high-slice-count computerized tomography (CT) systems to capture real-time moving images, such as a beating heart, with a ...

LISBON, Portugal--May 22, 2006--Chipidea®, the world leader in analog/mixed-signal merchant technology, recently presented a groundbreaking design for an analog-to-digital (ADC) converter to the world ...

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 ...

Increasing pressure on production costs and, more generally, time to market, have impacted all levels of IC design. In this context, one of the major challenges is to avoid silicon failure or yield ...
