What differentiates a mixed-signal printed circuit board design from a purely analog board or a purely digital system? What differentiates a mixed-signal printed circuit board design from a purely ...

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 ...

Just as its name implies, a floating-gate transistor’s driving terminal is electrically isolated from the rest of the device—that is, floating—so there is no direct internal dc path from the input ...

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 ...

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 ...

She added in a recent blog post, “All data-acquisition systems consist of three essential elements—sensor, signal conditioning, and analog-to-digital converter (ADC).” 2 The article on p. 36 describes ...

Analog/mixed-signal content in SoCs needs to be modeled in a similar way as the digital content but does UVM make sense for pure analog? Perhaps not. As SoC complexity has grown, so too has the need ...

Where digital and analog designs are overlapping, and why it’s becoming more difficult to ensure they work as expected over their lifetimes. Pujol: We need some abstraction because we cannot ...
