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 ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. Thomas Jefferson once elegantly stated that some truths we can hold to be self-evident. In electronics design, one of these truths is this: Nature ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. Listen to any design team manager and it won’t be long before you hear the whole gamut of what engineers need to know about analog circuitry to make ...

A few years back, I needed a quick, low-frequency, yet very low distortion source to test an onboard micro-controller ADC to see if it had anywhere near the effective number of bits (ENOB) and ...

They are usually used to sense temperature, flow, fill level, pressure, and other physical quantities, which are then converted to high resolution digital information and forwarded for further ...

We often think of analog computing as a relic of the past, room-sized monstrosities filled with vacuum tubes doing their best to calculate Monte Carlo simulations or orbital velocities. Analog isn’t ...

I’ve been following the spectacular success of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)—a partnership consisting of NASA, European Space Agency (ESA), and Canadian Space Agency (CSA)—as well as looking ...

A Raspberry Pi 5 has the ability to capture video via attached cameras and access the Internet using wired and wireless protocols, all while driving a pair of personal computer displays. However, if ...

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 ...
