No matter how many bits an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) provides, the digital output can only approximate the original signal. This approximation gives rise to ...
Jefferay Lawton, Senior Product Marketing Manager from Microchip’s Analog and Interface Division, introduces the first edition of ADC Aspects, a series of short discussions about the analog-to-digital ...
Don’t believe the hype. The digital revolution hasn’t conquered everything. We still need analog technologies to gather data and turn it into ones and zeroes, and the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) ...
Over the past decades, the high-speed analog-to-digital converter (ADC) performance metric that mattered to most has changed, albeit slowly. Primarily as a result of signal acquisition systems’ ever ...
In previous installments of the AudioFile, we’ve talked about basic PCM audio, which encodes audio into a series of numbers that a computer can play or manipulate. We’ve also discussed the process of ...
The market for audio applications and devices has significantly grown over the last couple of years. Applications such as smart speakers, Bluetooth speakers, smartphones, and voice-controlled ...
The sources of noise in a signal chain can be either internal or external. Managing noise in the signal chain requires meticulous examination of each circuit in the chain to minimize noise where ...
We live in an analog world, but digital processing has proven quicker, cheaper and easier. Moving digital data around is only possible while the physics of wires can be safely abstracted away enough ...
