As I read over the comments from my last blog, ADC Noise: Where Does It Come From?, it became apparent that I had not covered all the potential doorways for noise in an ADC. There are a few more doors ...

Real-world environmental occurrences such as temperature, pressure, flow or light usually require a specialized sensor to adequately capture an ecological status or change. Although sensors can ...

What’s the cost of an underused hardware resource? If you spec your microcontroller to have a 10-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) but only require 8 bits, you’ve paid for extra performance that ...

Precision signal chain designers are challenged to meet noise performance demands in medium bandwidth applications and often end up making a trade-off between noise performance and accuracy. Achieving ...

As high speed analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) move into the gigasample-per-second (GSPS) range, the interface of choice for data transfer to FPGAs (or custom ASICs) employs the JESD204B protocol.

In this article, we highlight one of the most important architectural traits of new continuous-time sigma-delta (CTSD) precision ADCs: the easy to drive resistive input and reference. The key to ...
