The distinction between analog and digital signals is very simple, but it can still be a challenge to wrap one's mind around the concepts that define the two systems. Just when you think you've got it ...

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 ...

Find out how a digital technique performs multiplication on two bitstreams and avoids the cost of the analog multiplier.

The analog portion of the signal is becoming smaller and smaller as more and more digital signal processors (DSP) and microcontrollers are bringing their computational and timing strengths to analog ...

Abstract— Today’s on-chip Analog/Mixed-Signal and RF (A/RF) systems have reached a limit of size and complexity where transistor-level SPICE and FastSPICE simulation approaches cannot deliver a ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Rob Reeder, Senior System Application Engineer, Analog Devices Analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are used in a wide ...

As more sensors and actuators are added into electronic devices, pressure is growing to more seamlessly move data seamlessly back and forth between analog and digital circuitry. Analog and digital ...

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 ...

This article addresses some basic noise principles and how to apply them to each analog-to-digital converter input node to minimize any noise convolving onto the output spectrum. Defining noise ...
