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 ...

All analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) have a certain amount ofinput-referred noise. In most cases,less input noise is better. There are some cases, however, where inputnoise can actually be helpful ...

In the Op Amp circuit shown in the figure, let Rf = 10kΩ, R1 = 10kΩ, R2 = 20kΩ, R3 = 40kΩ, and R4 = 80kΩ. Obtain the analog output for binary inputs [0000], [0001], [0010], . . . , [1111]. Using this ...

Nobody will cry when the static dies. “Analog” television — those grainy, sometimes static-filled broadcasts — will end on Feb. 17, 2009. That’s the date that the Federal Communications Commission has ...

Energy-efficient successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) represent a rapidly evolving field in microelectronics, where substantial progress has been made in ...

A digital converter box can save users the trouble of spending big on a new HD television. How? Digital converter boxes are designed to enable digital signals on your analog TV set. Though most TVs at ...

Don't get dismayed by the rise of digital technologies. Analog engineers are still critical members of any design team. For many years, aficionados of digital circuits and computers have bragged that ...

Sponsored by Digi-Key and Maxim Integrated: Despite the onslaught of digital technology, analog tech and analog components are a long way from becoming obsolete, and a case can be made that perhaps ...

Here's why I'm asking: I have a Denon AVR 3803 receiver. I like it quite a bit, except for one glaring (IMHO) omission; in order to use my Sennheiser wireless headphones, I have to run both analog and ...
