The data converter has acted as the bridge between the analog (real) world and the digital world for a few decades now. Starting with discrete elements that took up multiple rack spaces and burnt lots ...
Positioning analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) in a modern digital receiver is an important issue that strongly impacts the design choices and the implementation costs. To place the ADC immediately ...
The Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) is a key component in digital communications receive channels, and the correct choice of ADC is critical for optimizing system design. In this article, we discuss ...
A number of ways to reduce power consumption in ADC circuit designs are described. Fig 1. Resistive-attenuator options for measuring high-voltage signals offer a simple way to limit an input signal to ...
Optical encoders (incremental/absolute), sonar receivers, fiber optic networks (EDFA gain control), power quality monitoring, medical imaging equipment, impedance ...
n Part 3 of our CTSD precision ADCs article series, we will highlight the alias free nature of CTSD ADCs, which improves the immunity to interferers without any added peripheral design. Part 1 ...
Broadband communications equipment is increasingly pushing the envelope of mixed-signal technology in terms of speed, distortion, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and cost. Many broadband wireless systems ...
