When it comes to getting signals from an analog world into our computers, most of us don’t give much thought to how the hardware that does the job works. But as it turns out, there are a number of ...

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 ...

Designed a 12 bit CMOS D/A converter employing a segmented hybrid architecture consisting of two thermometer coded current steering segments of 4 bits each & a binary weighted current steering segment ...

While we all went through intensive course work in engineering school studying analog-to-digital converters (ADC), operational amplifiers (Op Amp), digital-to-analog converters (DAC) and other ...

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 ...

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 ...

"Upgradeitis" is a term bandied about the audio world to describe the desire to buy new gear that you technically don't need. Sure, an extra HDMI input or a slightly better room correction system ...

Photonic analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) represents a paradigm shift in signal processing by leveraging the inherent advantages of photonic devices to digitise analog signals. The approach aims to ...

If you want to watch your analog television and record on your analog VCR at the same time, you will need a converter box for each device, according to the Federal Communications Commission Web site ...
