The data converter has acted as the bridge between the analog (real) world and the digital world for a few decades now. Starting with discrete elements that took up multiple rack spaces and burnt lots ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Modern telecommunications applications like 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems as well as forthcoming 5G systems use ...

The new 14-bit wideband time-interleaved pipeline analog-to-digital converter (ADC) IP cores—featuring a sampling speed of 4.32 Gsps in the 28-nm FDSOI process—are available for immediate licensing ...

Precision, speed, low power, and size are attractive attributes of successive-approximation-register (SAR) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). These features have made SAR ADCs popular with designers ...

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.

Optical encoders (incremental/absolute), sonar receivers, fiber optic networks (EDFA gain control), power quality monitoring, medical imaging equipment, impedance ...

Imec has developed a compact, highly linear 3.2 giga-sample-per-second (GSps) RF-sampling ADC that uses ring amplification (ringamp). The ADC has a record low power consumption of 61.3mW and supports ...

Past columns have discussed sampling analog signals and analog-to-digital converter (ADC) technologies. In my experience, though, engineers who simply want to use ADCs rather than design with them, ...

An 8-bit analogue-to-digital converter (ADC) family from National Semiconductor makes its claim for top sampling speed, delivering 6Gsample/s data capture at 3.6W. The single ADC083000 ADC operates at ...
