(Editor's Note: There are links to the previous parts of this series at the end, below the author's biography.) Many circuit designs have been tried in the development of analog-to-digital converters ...

The usual method of bringing analog inputs into a microprocessor is to use an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). Here are some tips for selecting such a part and calibrating it to fit your needs. In ...

Back in the day where the microprocessor was our standard building block, we tended to concentrate on computation and processing of data and not so much on I/O. Simply put there were a lot of things ...

Functionality of ADC/DACs, their performance characteristics, and how they have been improved. Advantages, disadvantages, and applications of various ADC/DAC architectures. How ADC/DACs are used in ...

Today's analog system designers face many design challenges. Not only do designers need to select the proper integrated-circuit components, but they also must accurately predict the interactions of ...
