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 ...

Time stops for no one, and for no technology. There was a time when you probably preserved family memories by saving them to videotape, but videotape is now completely obsolete. If you’re like a lot ...

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 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 ...

Capturing memories on Mini VHS tapes was common before digital recording became widespread. These small tapes hold personal videos that can deteriorate over time, making it important to preserve them ...

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 ...

Bringing old tapes back to life can be frustrating, but the ClearClick converter made it pretty straightforward for me. After plugging in my VCR and hooking up the converter, I was able to record my ...

A new process technology allows system designers to avoid adding external signal conditioning, signal biasing, and external op amps in industrial-control and medical applications. Analog Devices calls ...

The huge increase in variety and number of ways people interact with electronic communications systems is no secret. More cell phones, wireless computers, and other multifunction, media-rich products ...

In the Op Amp circuit shown in the figure, let Rf = 10kΩ, R1 = 10kΩ, R2 = 20kΩ, R3 = 40kΩ, and R4 = 80kΩ. Obtain the analog output for binary inputs [0000], [0001], [0010], . . . , [1111]. Using this ...

Think you don’t have anything to worry about in the switch from analog to digital television? Think again. Consumers have been told that the upcoming transition TV changeover would mainly impact ...

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 ...
