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 ...

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 ...

This reference design demonstrates Microchip’s solution to accurately measure temperature using a Thermocouple and an 18-bit ADC, MCP3421. It eliminates the need for the traditional analog ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) is used for the conversion of analog signals such as voltage to digital form so that they can be read and processed by a microcontroller or microprocessor. The user ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

AC line monitors measure the real-time quality of power delivered to a given load. These devices are diverse in capabilities, measurement accuracy and cost with systems ranging from simple, ...
