(Editor's Note: There are links to the previous parts of this series at the end, below the author's biography.) Many circuit designs have been tried in the development of analog-to-digital converters ...

The usual method of bringing analog inputs into a microprocessor is to use an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). Here are some tips for selecting such a part and calibrating it to fit your needs. In ...

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 ...

What is an analog-to-digital converter (ADC)? What are the key performance features of an ADC? The different ADC architectures. Real-world applications require real-world connections. Generally, that ...

Communications receiver architecture has evolved slowly over the years. The most common and successful configuration is the superheterodyne architecture, which translates the incoming signal to a ...
