Did You Know? The “real” world we are living in is Analog! Whether it is sound, light, temperature or humidity, all are continuously varying things. However, when we want to communicate with the ...

Linear Technology Corporation introduces a low-power 16-bit no missing codes, 80Msps analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that dissipates only 89mW, less than half the power of competing 16-bit solutions ...

All naturally occurring phenomena and signals are analog in nature. When we want to process these natural signals, it is understood that whatever data comes from the external world first needs to be ...

Photonic analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) represents a paradigm shift in signal processing by leveraging the inherent advantages of photonic devices to digitise analog signals. The approach aims to ...

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 ...

In previous installments of the AudioFile, we've talked about basic PCM audio, which encodes audio into a series of numbers that a computer can play or manipulate. We've also discussed the process of ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
