Analog to Digital Converters (ADCs) are critical components in high-speed, high-resolution applications where an analog or RF signal has to be processed, stored, or transported in digital form. ADC ...

The usual method of bringing analog inputs into a microprocessor is to use an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). Here are some tips for selecting such a part and calibrating it to fit your needs. In ...

(Editor's Note: There are links to the previous parts of this series at the end, below the author's biography.) Many circuit designs have been tried in the development of analog-to-digital converters ...

Voltage-controlled oscillator-based analog-to-digital converters (VCO-based ADCs) represent an emerging class of digitisation circuits that harness the frequency-modulating properties of VCOs to ...

Practically every electronic product today contains one or more analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). As an engineer, you have no doubt already encountered the ADC in a design project. If not, then you ...

During the last three years, the mixed-signal system-on-chip (SoC) market has grown consistently. Industry analyst firm IBS Corp. estimates that by 2006, more than 70 percent of all SoCs will contain ...

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 ...

All analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) have a certain amount ofinput-referred noise. In most cases,less input noise is better. There are some cases, however, where inputnoise can actually be helpful ...

Analog Devices has introduced a wideband analogue-to-digital converter (ADC) which it claims does not have the noise-level penalties usually attributed to multi-MHz bandwidth ADCs. The design is based ...
