The distinction between analog and digital signals is very simple, but it can still be a challenge to wrap one's mind around the concepts that define the two systems. Just when you think you've got it ...

The analog portion of the signal is becoming smaller and smaller as more and more digital signal processors (DSP) and microcontrollers are bringing their computational and timing strengths to analog ...

A methodology to create efficient manufacturing mixed-signal tests that reduce both test costs and test escapes.

Few IC-schematic symbols are simpler than the one that depicts an analog switch (Figure 1a). A basic switch comprises just an input, an output, a control pin, and a couple of power-supply pins. Yet, ...

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 ...

Some North Carolina television stations set up call centers, and others sent engineers to viewers' homes to help ease the transition from analog to digital signals that's occurring at stations ...

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 ...

A look at the design of traditional ADC front ends. How to simplify the input drive of CTSD ADCs. Simplifying reference and reference-drive designs. In this article, we will use the terms “sensor” or ...
