You’re looking to dive into the world of audiophilia, and you’re instantly bombarded with terms that you don’t know. Hey, it happens to all of us! The best thing to do is to start slow and get your ...

While the simplistic answer to the headline is four bits, it’s actually quite a loaded question. A four-bit increase in the scope’s resolution would produce a theoretical improvement of 16 times in ...

If you look around a few electronic music forums, you’ll see a lot of confusion over the difference between a bitcrusher – a filter that reduces the bit depth of an audio signal – and a sample rate ...

Embedded developers are continually looking for the optimal microcontrollers (MCUs) for their system designs – without counting bits. Developers simply want the right level of functionality to meet ...

Until recently, hobby-grade digital oscilloscopes were mostly, at most, 8-bit sampling. However, newer devices offer 12-bit conversion. Does it matter? Depends. [Kiss Analog] shows where a 12-bit ...

At $219 each in 1000-unit volumes, the ADC08D1000 analog-to-digital converter (ADC) isn't destined for consumer products. But this chip from National Semicondctor can digitize two input signals to ...

Everything in the digital world is measured in bits and bytes. Following are the common components in a computer that are measured in bits. See bit and binary values. The "word" size is the number of ...
