Analog-to-digital converters, or ADCs, are somewhat monolithic devices for most users, a black box that you ask nicely for the value on its input, and receive a number in return. For most readers, ...

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 ...

The previous blog discussed how makers can select an A/D converter by understanding the application and how manufacturers optimize a part for that role. Now, what happens when an A/D fires up—how ...

The design and optimisation of analog-digital converters (ADCs) and digital-analog converters (DACs) play a pivotal role in modern electronic systems, bridging the gap between the analog real world ...

(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 ...
