Today's analog system designers face many design challenges. Not only do designers need to select the proper integrated-circuit components, but they also must accurately predict the interactions of ...

Direct RF sampling meets engineers' requirements for higher integration, better noise performance, wider bandwidth and smaller footprints in radar, software-defined radio, aerospace and defense, test ...

The first commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) analog front-ends (AFEs) designed for low bandwidth one-channel sensors showed what analog-to-digital integration can do. Then, COTS AFEs for applications ...

Past columns have discussed sampling analog signals and analog-to-digital converter (ADC) technologies. In my experience, though, engineers who simply want to use ADCs rather than design with them, ...

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 ...

Low-power high-speed CMOS comparators and analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) play a pivotal role in modern electronics, from data-intensive computing systems to precision biomedical instrumentation.

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 ...
