Functionality of ADC/DACs, their performance characteristics, and how they have been improved. Advantages, disadvantages, and applications of various ADC/DAC architectures. How ADC/DACs are used in ...

In Mixed-Signal Circuits, Part 1: From s to z – The Discrete Complex-Frequency Domain, discrete-time analog circuit analysis introduced the z-domain, a simple shortcut from discrete time-domain ...

It might seem odd to include a section on voltage references in a book devoted primarily to op amp applications, but the relevance will shortly become obvious. Unfortunately, there is little ...

When it comes to getting signals from an analog world into our computers, most of us don’t give much thought to how the hardware that does the job works. But as it turns out, there are a number of ...

We were recently tipped off to quite a resource — on the Texas Instruments website, there’s a page where you can view and download a compendium of analog sub-circuits. Individual circuits can be ...

Abaco Systems latest analogue front-end mezzanine card for FPGAs has been tailored for software defined radio, as well as electronic warfare, radar, test and measurement. FMC300, as it will be known, ...

In particular, the Lightning connector is accompanied by a "mystery" integrated circuit identified only by an Apple part number: "338S00140 A0SM1624 TW." While the exact purpose of the IC remains ...

There was a time when an "honest" (e.g., DNL 1/2 LSB) 16-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) was an expensive, premium component. Nowadays they're almost jellybeans ...
