I’ve been following the spectacular success of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)—a partnership consisting of NASA, European Space Agency (ESA), and Canadian Space Agency (CSA)—as well as looking ...

Designers of digital systems are familiar with implementing the 'leftovers' of their digital design by using FPGAs and CPLDs to glue together various processors, memories, and standard function ...

Today's analog system designers face many design challenges. Not only do designers need to select the proper integrated-circuit components, but they also must accurately predict the interactions of ...

This reference design demonstrates Microchip’s solution to accurately measure temperature using a Thermocouple and an 18-bit ADC, MCP3421. It eliminates the need for the traditional analog ...

Time-based analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) represent an innovative shift from traditional voltage-based conversion schemes by utilising time-domain techniques for digitising analog signals.

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 ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. Listen to any design team manager and it won’t be long before you hear the whole gamut of what engineers need to know about analog circuitry to make ...

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 ...

Until several years ago, analog was a world apart from digital. Analog engineers could comfortably avoid many of the issues of Moore’s Law, viewing it as a costly bad habit with an equally bad outcome ...

The digital television (DTV) transition refers to the switch from analog to digital broadcast television. When the DTV transition is completed on February 17, 2009, all U.S. full-power TV stations ...
