What differentiates a mixed-signal printed circuit board design from a purely analog board or a purely digital system? What differentiates a mixed-signal printed circuit board design from a purely ...

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 ...

For almost 20 years, researchers and semiconductormanufacturers have been trying to developa practical analog BIST (built-in self-test) formixed-signal ICs. By enabling mixed-signal ICtesting on ...

A great many industrial sensors — flow, level, temperature, pressure, pH, and the list goes on — produce a 4-20 mA output, but today's factories increasingly need digital inputs via standard field ...

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 ...

What is an analog-to-digital converter (ADC)? What are the key performance features of an ADC? The different ADC architectures. Real-world applications require real-world connections. Generally, that ...

Confused by analog-to-digital converter specifications? Here's a primer to help you decipher them and make the right decisions for your project. Although manufacturers use common terms to describe ...
