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 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 ...

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 ...

Confused by analog-to-digital converter specifications? Here's a primer to help you decipher them and make the right decisions for your project. Although manufacturers use common terms to describe ...

At the heart of many precision measurement systems lies the delta-sigma converter, an architecture engineered for accuracy.

[Daniel Garcia] sent us a quick tutorial he put together demonstrating how to use an ATmega168 to perform analog to digital conversions. This timely tutorial would make for a nice complimentary ...

Acting as the gateway between the “real world” analog domain and digital world of 1s and 0s, data converters have become a critical element of modern signal processing. Over the past three decades, ...

Today’s designers have a multitude of ADC choices that provide different digital outputs. This second article in the JESD204 series covers the different types of outputs in terms of physical ...

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 ...

A Raspberry Pi 5 has the ability to capture video via attached cameras and access the Internet using wired and wireless protocols, all while driving a pair of personal computer displays. However, if ...

The MindWave DAC is a software-based digital-to-analog converter that delivers high-precision analog signals at low frequencies within a scalable and cost-effective design. Our DAC is designed to ...
