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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
