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 ...

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 previous blog discussed how makers can select an A/D converter by understanding the application and how manufacturers optimize a part for that role. Now, what happens when an A/D fires up—how ...

Photonic analog-to-digital converters employ light to sample and digitise high-frequency electrical signals, overcoming the speed and jitter limitations of purely electronic systems. Ultrastable ...

Delta-sigma modulation is a cornerstone approach for high-resolution analogue-to-digital conversion, combining oversampling with active noise shaping to achieve superior signal fidelity. In these ...
