Sample rates for analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and digital-to-analog converters (DACs) continue to evolve, now reaching 5 Gsamples/s at 10-bit resolutions and 1.5 Gsamples/s at 12 bits. These ...

Analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) sample analog signals and produce a value that corresponds to a “snapshot” of the signal at a specific time. By taking samples at regular intervals, you can obtain ...

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 ...

Requirements for different types of sample rates. Conversion techniques for these different sample rates. Synchronous and asynchronous sample-rate conversion. This article starts with an overview of ...

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 ...

One of the first frustrating situations a beginning microcontroller programmer will come across is the issue of debouncing switches. Microcontrollers are faster than switches, and the switch has yet ...
