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 ...

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 ...

Data-acquisition systems are coming to market to help capture real-world analog signals for computer analysis, control, and management. Expanding on our last coverage of the topic in our October 2017 ...

Bad Fast Fourier Transfer (FFT) data captures can cause you to misunderstand the true performance of your analog-to-digital converter (ADC). Some engineers like to coherently sample and capture data ...

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 ...
