With the world today moving towards increased safety concerns, automobile technology is trying to match pace by methods which we commonly refer to as “active safety”. The active safety measures are ...

The data converter has acted as the bridge between the analog (real) world and the digital world for a few decades now. Starting with discrete elements that took up multiple rack spaces and burnt lots ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Modern telecommunications applications like 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems as well as forthcoming 5G systems use ...

The critical component in all digital communications receivers is the analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The ADC sampling rate, bandwidth, and noise tolerance establishes the specifications and ...

Imec has developed a compact, highly linear 3.2 giga-sample-per-second (GSps) RF-sampling ADC that uses ring amplification (ringamp). The ADC has a record low power consumption of 61.3mW and supports ...

Texas Instruments has revolutionized radio architectures and expanded its gigasample-per-second (GSPS) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) portfolio with the direct RF-sampling ADC12Dxx00RF family.

Past columns have discussed sampling analog signals and analog-to-digital converter (ADC) technologies. In my experience, though, engineers who simply want to use ADCs rather than design with them, ...

Optical encoders (incremental/absolute), sonar receivers, fiber optic networks (EDFA gain control), power quality monitoring, medical imaging equipment, impedance ...

An 8-bit analogue-to-digital converter (ADC) family from National Semiconductor makes its claim for top sampling speed, delivering 6Gsample/s data capture at 3.6W. The single ADC083000 ADC operates at ...
