As much as it’s an analog world, it is often being chopped up into digital pieces. As communications go digital and the computing power increases, signals are being transformed into digital words that ...

Resolution is key in maximizing the performance of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). But here comes the rub: resolution of an ADC comes with a specific voltage reference. So, what if design ...

It’s a well-known conundrum that while most computers these days are digital in nature, almost nothing in nature is. Most things we encounter in the real world, whether it’s temperature, time, sound, ...

In previous installments of the AudioFile, we’ve talked about basic PCM audio, which encodes audio into a series of numbers that a computer can play or manipulate. We’ve also discussed the process of ...

Designers of digital systems are familiar with implementing the 'leftovers' of their digital design by using FPGAs and CPLDs to glue together various processors, memories, and standard function ...

ATI Group debuted its Model UADC-1 utility analog-to-digital converter/switch. The company says it provides 24-bit conversion along with AES audio path insertion and interruption functions. It may be ...

Incremental analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and delta-sigma modulators represent two advanced architectures that have been pivotal in high-precision signal processing. Incremental ADCs convert ...

Today’s designers have a multitude of ADC choices that provide different digital outputs. This second article in the JESD204 series covers the different types of outputs in terms of physical ...

To meet soaring demand for lightning-quick mobile technology, each year tech giants create faster, more powerful devices with longer-lasting battery power than previous models. A major reason ...

A digital converter box can save users the trouble of spending big on a new HD television. How? Digital converter boxes are designed to enable digital signals on your analog TV set. Though most TVs at ...
