The distinction between analog and digital signals is very simple, but it can still be a challenge to wrap one's mind around the concepts that define the two systems. Just when you think you've got it ...

Few IC-schematic symbols are simpler than the one that depicts an analog switch (Figure 1a). A basic switch comprises just an input, an output, a control pin, and a couple of power-supply pins. Yet, ...

Find out how a digital technique performs multiplication on two bitstreams and avoids the cost of the analog multiplier.

For almost 20 years, researchers and semiconductormanufacturers have been trying to developa practical analog BIST (built-in self-test) formixed-signal ICs. By enabling mixed-signal ICtesting on ...

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 ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Rob Reeder, Senior System Application Engineer, Analog Devices Analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are used in a wide ...

If you’ve been on the RTL-SDR forums lately you may have seen that a lot of work has been going into the DragonOS software. This is a software-defined radio group that has seen a lot of effort put ...
