The easy-to-use successive-approximation analog-to-digital converters (SAR-ADCs) may not be as easy as you think. In my last article for EDN, “Simulating the front end of your ADC,” we talked about ...

Here's a behavioral-modeling tool available as a free download from signal-processing semiconductor maker Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI—Norwood, Mass.). The company's ADIsimADC software design tool lets ...

The 12-bit, 1-MHz, ADS-1201 Series analog-to-digital converter is available in two versions — a small 28-pin DDIP or 28-pin SMT hermetically sealed ceramic package. The 12-bit, 1-MHz, ADS-1201 Series ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

CMOS technology has dominated the IC business for the last 25 years and will continue to do so for another 25 years, according to the author of CMOS Circuit Design, Layout, and Simulation. He explains ...
