As much as it’s an analog world, it is often being chopped up into digital pieces. As communications go digital and the computing power increases, signals are being transformed into digital words that ...

Basic review of how the different kinds of analog-to-ditital converters wor, with a sidebar relating them to appropriate applications. ADCs quantize time-varying analog voltages into a sequence of ...

Regular Contributor Dave Van Ess from Cypress Semiconductor reviews ADC noise sources, design implicatons of inherent noise, and ways to minimize circuit-generated noise. 1. Quantization is noise. 2.

Data converters incorporate the common semiconductor noise sources such as, shot, avalanche, flicker, and popcorn noise. In addition, real data converter systems have errors that include quantization, ...
