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 ...
Designers of digital systems are familiar with implementing the 'leftovers' of their digital design by using FPGAs and CPLDs to glue together various processors, memories, and standard function ...
Many microcontrollers have built-in ADCs (analog-to-digital converters), which means you can use a single device to both digitize analog signals and manipulate the results. Once the ADC digitizes a ...
What differentiates a mixed-signal printed circuit board design from a purely analog board or a purely digital system? What differentiates a mixed-signal printed circuit board design from a purely ...
This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Rob Reeder, Senior System Application Engineer, Analog Devices Analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are used in a wide ...
A great many industrial sensors — flow, level, temperature, pressure, pH, and the list goes on — produce a 4-20 mA output, but today's factories increasingly need digital inputs via standard field ...
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 ...
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 ...
As more sensors and actuators are added into electronic devices, pressure is growing to more seamlessly move data seamlessly back and forth between analog and digital circuitry. Analog and digital ...
