Did You Know? The “real” world we are living in is Analog! Whether it is sound, light, temperature or humidity, all are continuously varying things. However, when we want to communicate with the ...

All naturally occurring phenomena and signals are analog in nature. When we want to process these natural signals, it is understood that whatever data comes from the external world first needs to be ...

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 ...

Linear Technology Corporation introduces a low-power 16-bit no missing codes, 80Msps analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that dissipates only 89mW, less than half the power of competing 16-bit solutions ...

As its name implies, the function of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is to convert analog signals to digital representations for processing by a microcontroller (MCU), field-programmable gate ...

Photonic analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) represents a paradigm shift in signal processing by leveraging the inherent advantages of photonic devices to digitise analog signals. The approach aims to ...

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 ...

Engineers have reached a theoretical limit for efficiently converting analog data into digital bits in an emerging computer technology. The future of computing may be analog. The digital design of our ...

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 ...

A Raspberry Pi 5 has the ability to capture video via attached cameras and access the Internet using wired and wireless protocols, all while driving a pair of personal computer displays. However, if ...
