Editor’s note: Here is another ‘Golden nugget’ from my former TI colleague from my days at TI. I recommend that you observe Keller’s insights—he is an expert in the RF arena. High-speed data ...

As much as it’s an analog world, it is often being chopped up into digital pieces. As communications go digital and the computing power increases, signals are being transformed into digital words that ...

An Analogue to Digital Converter (ADC) is at its core a straight-forward device: by measuring an analog voltage within a set range and converting the measured level to a digital value we can use this ...

A look at the Nyquist sampling theorem. How to deal with aliasing by attenuating signals using low-pass filters (i.e., an antialiasing filter, or AAF). AAF requirements for different ADCs. A deep dive ...

Requirements for different types of sample rates. Conversion techniques for these different sample rates. Synchronous and asynchronous sample-rate conversion. This article starts with an overview of ...

Texas Instruments has revolutionized radio architectures and expanded its gigasample-per-second (GSPS) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) portfolio with the direct RF-sampling ADC12Dxx00RF family.

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 ...

High vertical resolution analogue-to-digital converters provide the signal detail for everyday devices, writes Andreas Grimm of Rohde & Schwarz. Today, even the most commonplace electronic designs ...

In our previous blog about the importance of analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), we focused on the various architectures that are in common usage for the Industrial Internet of Things. In particular, ...

All analogue-to-digital converters (ADCs) have a certain amount of input-referred noise. Input-referred noise is not to be confused with quantisation noise, which is only of interest when an ADC is ...

imec, the research and innovation hub in nanoelectronics and digital technologies, is to present a compact, highly linear 3.2 giga-sample-per-second (GSps) RF-sampling ADC that uses ring amplification ...

n Part 3 of our CTSD precision ADCs article series, we will highlight the alias free nature of CTSD ADCs, which improves the immunity to interferers without any added peripheral design. Part 1 ...
