The most important thing to remember about both DACs and ADCs is that either the input or output is digital, and therefore the signal is quantized. That is, an N-bit word represents one of 2 N ...

Basic review of how the different kinds of analog-to-ditital converters wor, with a sidebar relating them to appropriate applications. ADCs quantize time-varying analog voltages into a sequence of ...

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 ...

All real world signals are analog. The processing is, however, done in the digital domain for most applications. Hence a good interface, an Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) is very much essential.

As its name implies, the function of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is to convert analog signals to digital representations for processing by a microcontroller (MCU), field-programmable gate ...

The market for audio applications and devices has significantly grown over the last couple of years. Applications such as smart speakers, Bluetooth speakers, smartphones, and voice-controlled ...

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 ...

ADA4355 from Analog Devices is a current-input digital-output converter works with pulses down to 10ns for time-of-flight measurements using photo diodes. In a 12 x 6mm BGA package, the IC is actually ...

When your only tool is a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail. That’s an old saying and perhaps somewhat obvious, but our tools do color our solutions and sometimes in very subtle ways. For ...
