The easy-to-use successive-approximation analog-to-digital converters (SAR-ADCs) may not be as easy as you think. In my last article for EDN, “Simulating the front end of your ADC,” we talked about ...

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 ...

Here's a behavioral-modeling tool available as a free download from signal-processing semiconductor maker Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI—Norwood, Mass.). The company's ADIsimADC software design tool lets ...

The 12-bit, 1-MHz, ADS-1201 Series analog-to-digital converter is available in two versions — a small 28-pin DDIP or 28-pin SMT hermetically sealed ceramic package. The 12-bit, 1-MHz, ADS-1201 Series ...

I took a Computer Logic Design class in college, so when I stumbled upon the Ksimus Circuit Simulator, I was intrigued. At the risk of waxing nostalgic, I remember what it was like to build circuits ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. Listen to any design team manager and it won’t be long before you hear the whole gamut of what engineers need to know about analog circuitry to make ...

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 ...

In not-so-distant past [2], less than 20 percent of high-end digital devices had any significant amount of analog/mixed-signal (AMS) content; by comparison, in the case of design starts in 2007, more ...
