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 ...

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 ...

While we all went through intensive course work in engineering school studying analog-to-digital converters (ADC), operational amplifiers (Op Amp), digital-to-analog converters (DAC) and other ...

It’s a well-known conundrum that while most computers these days are digital in nature, almost nothing in nature is. Most ...

Photonic analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) represents a paradigm shift in signal processing by leveraging the inherent advantages of photonic devices to digitise analog signals. The approach aims to ...

Engineers have reached a theoretical limit for efficiently converting analog data into digital bits in an emerging computer technology. The future of computing may be analog. The digital design of our ...

Editor's Note: Low-cost, easy-to-use development systems lower the threshold to entry into embedded systems development for engineers, regardless of their experience level. Among these compact ...

Vinyl records are analog (and awesome) but that doesn't mean you're limited to enjoying the sweet sounds through your Hi-Fi speakers. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

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 ...
